Bitche Original Recently, the 2022 Changan Mazda CX-5 has arrived in stores. As a mid-term facelift model of the CX-5, the changes in the 2022 model are mainly concentrated in the front shape, front and rear light groups, wheels and vehicle systems. Overall, they are basically consistent with the overseas version. Next, I will take you to learn about the new model. What's different about the CX-5.
· Appearance
In terms of appearance, the 2022 CX-5 still continues the soulful design concept of changing shapes to create different light and shadow effects. , making it look very sporty. Friends who know Mazda know that Mazda will not make drastic changes in mid-term facelift models, but will enhance the freshness through fine-tuning and optimization of some details.
Front part This is the biggest change of the CX-5. The flat front grille adopts a new dot matrix design, which looks more three-dimensional compared to the old model. The chrome frame of the grille has also become thicker, highlighting the power of the SUV model. Like the Angkesela, the new car has eliminated the fog lamp design, making the front of the car more concise and very similar to the overseas version of the hatchback Angkesela.
If the above changes are subtle changes, then the new headlights can allow you to distinguish the old and new models at a glance car model. Double "L" shaped daytime running lights appear on a Mazda model for the first time. Compared with the sharp "squinting eyes" of Mazda in the past, this new headlight feels much gentler.
Coming to the side, the line shape of the new CX-5 is no different from the old model. The only change is the rim style, the rim size is still 19 inches. The tire model is Bridgestone ECOPIA H/L 422 plus series, specification is 225/55 R19, which is a low rolling resistance tire that focuses on environmental protection and energy saving.

In order to keep the rear taillights consistent with the headlights, corresponding changes have also been made. The double "L" shape echoes the front and rear. In addition, the independently arranged rear fog lights on the old model are integrated into the rear taillights on the new model.
· Interior layout
Entering the car, at first glance, the new CX-5’s interior design and There are no obvious changes to the old model. The criticized 7-inch central control screen on the old model was upgraded to the same 8.8-inch wide screen as the Encore Sera, and the car system was also switched to the Mi-Drive system, but the CD player was canceled. The new system does not support touchControl can only be operated using the knobs and buttons behind the gear handle, and supports CarPlay/CarLife.
The instrument panel has been changed from the old model's mainly mechanical display mode with LCD as the supplement, to the current semi-LCD instrument panel dominated by a 7-inch LCD screen, with vehicle speed and driving speed. Relevant information is concentrated on this screen, and the display effect is relatively intuitive.
In terms of functions, from the current known information, the new car has added a 360° panoramic image. Other features already available on older models, such as automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers, head-up display system, electric front seats, main driving memory, heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, intelligent driving assistance, etc. , these can all be found on the new model, but the specific model configuration division will have to wait for further information from the manufacturer.
In terms of space performance, a female experiencer with a height of 165cm sat in the front row, with the seat adjusted to the lowest position, and the headroom was more than a punch. . Coming to the back row, with the front seats unchanged, the experiencer's headroom is also more than one punch, and the legroom is more than two punches.
The storage space is also pretty good. Common storage spaces for personal belongings and mobile phones are involved. The handles inside the four doors all adopt a back-cover design, allowing users to place mobile phones or small items.

In addition, the 2.0L engine will also continue to be supplied, and the power system configuration remains consistent with the old model. The overseas version of the 2.5T engine continues to miss the Chinese market.
The suspension combination is a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension.
Editor’s comment: The mid-term facelift of Mazda CX-5 does not have many highlights to speak of. There are no surprises and no disappointments. Compared with this slight change in styling and configuration, I believe that if Mazda can introduce a 2.5T engine, this will be a facelift that consumers will love to see more. The "human and horse integration" driving control experience is Mazda's greatest charm. If it can be supported by better power performance, this horse will leap higher.
