Mazda’s goal of establishing an all-SKYACTIV lineup in the country takes another step closer to fruition with the Philippine launch of the Mazda CX-5 Pro. The award-winning CX-5 model has been the Japanese carmaker’s best-selling nameplate on the local market since its 2012 launch. Now, this new midlevel variant, which slots in between the CX-5 FWD and the CX-5 AWD Sport, provides crossover buyers another compelling reason to pick Mazda’s entry in the segment by pairing the lower-displacement SKYACTIV-G engine with the i-STOP idling system.
“While the CX-5 Pro has the same 2.0-liter engine (155PS at 6,000rpm, 200Nm at 4,000rpm) as the entry-level CX-5 and is also driven by the front wheels, it adds the i-STOP system to its list of features,” explains Steven Tan, president of Berjaya Auto Philippines, Inc., the official distributor of Mazda in the country. “We have noted that in the Philippines, many SUVs are predominantly city mainstays, and that means they spend a lot of time sitting in gridlock. The addition of i-STOP will thus further add to the regular FWD variant’s already impressive range.”Learn more at http://bit.ly/CX-5PRO.
