Mazda Rolls Out CX-5 And MX-5 Concepts

Mazda has unwrapped a trio of customised CX-5 SUVs for this week's SEMA show in Las Vegas, along with a rally-styled MX-5 makeover.

The CX-5 'concepts' include a stealthy black offering and a pair of lightly touched-up weekenders. 

In Urban Concept form, the CX-5 gets a matte-black effect (is that getting old yet? - Ed) with a two-shade finish, lowered on a giant set of custom 22-inch five-spoke wheels. 

That's the extent of the Urban's tweaks, and the CX-5 180 Concept and Dempsey Concept twins also offer little else. 

There's a basic graphics package spread across the body of each, along with roof and bike racks designed to appeal to those considering a weekend away. 

While the three CX-5 concepts shown here offer little to be excited about, the Australian market has responded well to the regular CX-5 line-up.

Year-to-date sales (to September 30) show the CX-5’s 11,528 units as second only to the segment-favourite Nissan X-Trail (12,183), and ahead of the Toyota RAV4 (10,815), Subaru Forester (8650), and Mitsubishi Outlander (5313).
