Mazda CX-5 2012 Video Review

The CX-5 replaces the CX-7 and comes in front drive and all-wheel drive with petrol and diesel engines. To keep up with demand the Japanese manufacturer has increased production by 40,000 units a year to 240,000. 

Orders are far surpassing initial estimates with the annual global sales target being upgraded from 160,000 to 190,000 units for the 2012 financial year.

In Australia the CX-5 helped Mazda set a record of 9593 sales in June with the SUV topping the sales charts in the medium SUV segment with 1955. It has nearly tripled sales of the CX-7 and is well ahead of Toyota RAV4, Nissan X-Trail and the Subaru Forester.
