Ten years ago, German brands were almost absolute monarchs, especially Volkswagen brands, which firmly occupied the dominant position in the market. In recent years, we can clearly see that Japanese cars are constantly exerting their strength and their market share is also increasing. Among them, Honda, Toyota and Nissan contributed the most to sales.
Mazda, which has always been regarded as a "niche brand", has two joint ventures, Changan Mazda and FAW Mazda, but the overall sales volume is hardly excellent. Among them, most of the sales were contributed by Changan Mazda. To be precise, it should be the backbone of Angkor Serra and CX 5.
And Angkor Sela, the model currently on sale is a new car that was replaced not long ago. On the other hand, CX-5, in the current market, the product strength is indeed somewhat outdated. Therefore, many fans are paying attention to the next development of CX-5.
Recently, some media exposed a set of new car renderings of a new generation Mazda CX-5. It is reported that the new car club will be officially released in 2022, which coincides with Mazda's plan not to push new cars in the previous two years.
Look at the car first. As far as design is concerned, the new CX-5 still has a very obvious change in rendering. Although the overall outline has not changed much, the detailed design of the whole vehicle is more flat. For example, the area of the middle net is obviously smaller, and the headlights are also smaller and more refined. Coupled with this redesigned front bumper, the visual effect looks more fashionable and concise than the old one. However, personally, I feel a little too individual, and it may be difficult to cater to the public aesthetic.
Speaking of the tail, the design of the new CX-5 is the same. Simplicity and simplicity are the overall design tone. Slender taillights, black roof, silver-decorated rear bumper and square exhaust look fierce. But it's the same problem. Whether such a shape can be accepted by most people is still unknown.
On the technical level, it is said that Mazda will adopt a rear-drive platform for the new CX-5, which is one of the things that countless "Mazda powder" expect. Moreover, the body length of the new CX-5 is expected to exceed 4600 mm, but according to Mazda's consistent tonality, even if the body grows, it is estimated that it is difficult to improve the rear seat space. We will wait and see.
Conclusion: It is rumored by fans that the new CX-5 may be equipped with Mazda's latest 3.0L inline six-cylinder engine. In my personal opinion, 90% of this engine is unlikely to be introduced into China, and maybe a four-cylinder or plug-in version can still be expected. But these are not the point. The key is, did the new CX-5 really capture the real needs of SUV consumers this time? I'm afraid it's still unknown.
