2017 Mazda CX-5 Revealed At LA Auto Show

If it ain't broke, don't fix.

That appears to be the motto for Mazda's second-generation CX-5. The new mid-size SUV was unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show and follows the same formula that has made the current model such a sales hit for the brand.

There have been a number of small improvements across the car but the styling, both inside and out, has been the main focus of the update.

It gets new-look headlights and the same 'wing' design feature on the front grille to mirror the evolution of Kodo design first seen on the CX-9, which also debuted Mazda's latest suite of 'Skyactiv' features.

In the CX-5, the body is now 15 per cent stiffer thanks to more high-strength steel, which Mazda claims improves handling and safety.

The interior has been redesigned to give it more style, again borrowing cues from the larger CX-9, including moving the infotainment screen to the top of the dashboard for better visibility.

On a practical level, the console between the front seats has been raised and the gear selector is now higher, to make it easier for the driver to reach.
