2015 Mazda CX-5 and Mazda 6 revealed

Mazda unveils updated Mazda 6 and CX-5 models with new safety and cabin features at LA motor show.

The Mazda6 and CX-5 SUV models have been updated for 2015, with the changes focusing on improving safety and increasing cabin refinement ahead of a 2015 release.

Safety improvements include the availability of adaptive LED headlights and driver fatigue monitoring, as well as adaptive cruise control being added to the CX-5 spec list for the first time.

In the cabin, both models also gain Mazda's MZD multimedia system - already found in the Mazda2 and Mazda3 - and the Mazda6 will also gain a heads-up display.

Externally, both the Mazda6 and CX-5 sport revised front and rear styling and wheel designs as Mazda continues to evolve the 'Kodo' design language.

Exact local specifications and pricing are yet to be confirmed, although Mazda has said that the global engine and transmission options of the current Mazda6 and CX-5 models will remain unchanged.

The new Mazda6 and CX-5 will be available in Japan and the US from January 2015 before an expected local debut in the first half of the year.
