Mazda UK has announced the introduction of two new models to its CX-5 lineup - the SE-L Lux and the SE-L Lux Nav. Both models are based on the current CX-5 SE-L and add sunroof, power adjusted driver’s seat, leather trim and heated front seats to the vehicle’s standard features.
Available in British dealerships as we speak, the new SE-L models are fitted with the company’s SkyActiv technology, while power is provided by a 2.2-liter diesel engine rated at 150 horsepower and mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. The Mazda CX-5 SE-L Lux has a starting price set at £24,495 OTR, while the SE-L Lux Nav costs from £25,195 OTR, £1,200 more than the standard SE-L model.
“Many potential Mazda customers have expressed an interest in being able to acquire a CX-5 with a sunroof and leather trim without having to purchase a range-topping Sport model. Now, responding to that latent demand, we are adding two models to our Mazda CX-5 range, based on our most popular and economical powertrain – the 2.2-litre diesel 150 HP with 2WD and six-speed manual transmission. The premium is an extremely modest £1,200 for an upgraded specification which would cost more than £2,500 with some rival brands,” said Peter Allibon, sales director of Mazda UK.
