    What's worth driving this new year? The all new 2013 Mazda CX-5!

    Say good-bye to the Mazda Tribute and say hello to the Mazda CX-5.........



    I'm so excited for the new 2013 Mazda CX-5 to come out in a couple of months. The CX-5 is a brand new crossover/suv with the new SKYACTIV engine that gets great gas mileage, up to 33mpg! The CX-5 comes well equipped with tons and tons of features, also more cargo space in the trunk with lots of room for passengers in the second row to move and stretch around. This vehicle offers Great gas mileage, Comfort and Convenience, and the best of all this crossover/suv will start at a low price of under $20k!!!

    More information and specs on the Mazda CX-5..........
    The 2013 Mazda CX-5 is powered by a 2.0-liter four cylinder engine. And that is where Skyactiv comes in. Mazda describes Skyactiv as “…an all-encompassing, deeply embedded philosophy that obtaining more power, torque and miles per gallon does not need to come at the expense of fuel economy, design and safety.” The first instance of its use was in the Mazda3 and now it comes to the Mazda CX-5.

      

    Fuel economy is superior to what is found on the Mazda CX-5. You can choose from a front-wheel-drive manual coming in at up to 33 mpg highway. For the FWD automatic, up to 32 mpg. The AWD, available only in automatic is up to 30 mpg.

    Mazda has placed the CX-5 on a 106.3 inch wheelbase, the longest in this segment. Standard 17-inch alloy wheels and you can upgrade to 19-inch wheels. Mazda is making a lot of noise about this vehicle’s interior room, noting that front head and legroom is excellent and pointing to the rear seat’s 40/20/40 seating configuration which allows for two or three passengers. Cabin amenities include Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, iPod audio playback and a 9-speaker Bose sound system. You also get HD RadioTM Technology, a subscription-free digital AM and FM broadcast radio service and on-screen information with additional programming choices via HD2 and HD3 channels.



    What more can I say, the Mazda CX-5 is worth driving! Please stop by or call the Mazda dealership for more information on the new 2013 Mazda CX-5.

    ZOOM-ZOOM forever!
