Crash: Surprise Encounter with Mazda CX-5

Russia is proving a strange but endlessly amusing place. And while we’ve only been able to discover their bad driving habits for a short period, the fact that just about everybody has a dash cam these days is making up for it.
So gather round dear readers, and let us tell you how a Russian motorist first came into contact with the brand new Mazda CX-5 crossover!

This Japanese crossover is making its debut at dealerships across Europe, who are offering up test drives left and right. And there’s plenty of interesting things to discover. It’s smaller than the CX-7, but has more room inside. It’s well proportioned, yet its Skyactiv engines are very frugal.

But this motorist will never forget one thing about the CX-5: the shape of the rear end. That’s because it’s the last thing he saw as a surprise encounter with the Mazda left him... crashing into it.

You can clearly see that the old truck in front of him is mainly to blame, as it brakes way to late for our protagonist to do something. However, not maintaining a safe distance is also a problem here.
