![]() It’s all very nerdy stuff – clearly, Mazda’s engineers have had a field day with this thing – that’s all a bit hard to digest in list form.

Similarly, the larger 2.5-litre petrol sees an almost pointless 1Nm torque increase – elevating it to 252Nm – but it also sees the introduction of cylinder deactivation tech to reduce fuel consumption.īut it’s the CX-5’s diesel engine that sees the most notable improvements. The least fettled with is the entry-level 2.0-litre petrol, which sees an undetectable 1kW power bump, taking it to 115kW. There are updates across the board for all three engine options, although some see bigger upgrades than others. ![]() These updates are nothing you’ll notice on the surface though – a facelift, this is not – because it’s the oily bits that have seen the attention of Mazda’s engineers this time around. The Mazda CX-5 might have only been with us in its current incarnation for one year, but Mazda has already seen it fit to give it a bit of a spruce up for 2018. ![]()
