DETROIT (January 9, 2012) - Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) today announced official fuel economy figures for the all-new 2013 CX-5 [4] compact SUV, as rated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), with highway mileage of some models as high as 6.7L/100km. As expected, Mazda's first vehicle fully engrained with SKYACTIV®[1] TECHNOLOGY [5], the brand's breakthrough engineering and manufacturing approach to its next generation of vehicles, offers unprecedented non-hybrid best-in-class fuel economy for all transmission and drivetrain configurations.
Front-wheel-drive models equipped with the standard SKYACTIV-MT six-speed manual transmission are EPA rated with an estimated fuel economy of 9 city/6.7 highway/8.1 combined L/100km. When equipped with the optional SKYACTIV-Drive six-speed automatic transmission, front-wheel-drive models receive a consumption rating of 9 city/7.4 highway/8.1 combined. SKYACTIV-Drive is standard on all-wheel-drive models, which return an estimated fuel economy rating of 9.4 city/7.6 highway/8.4 combined L/100km.
These figures apply for both Federal Tier2 Bin5 and California LEV II ULEV emissions standards. With a 55 litre fuel tank in front-wheel-drive models (58 litres in all-wheel-drive versions), the 2013 CX-5 has a driving range upwards of 800kms.
All 2013 CX-5 compact SUVs are equipped with the SKYACTIV-G 2.0-liter gasoline engine, which features the world's highest compression ratio for a mass-produced vehicle at 13:1. This means SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY is able to squeeze more energy out of every litre of petrol than conventional internal combustion engines. CX-5 also is the lightest compact SUV in its class, weighing in at a total curb weight of 3,208 pounds for entry models and up to 3,426 pounds for premium trim levels.
With its all-new 4-2-1 exhaust system, CX-5 delivers 116kW at 6,000 rpm and 203Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm; redline is reached at 6,500 rpm. With a choice of transmissions in either the SKYACTIV-MT six-speed manual or SKYACTIV-Drive six-speed automatic, a 2,000-pound towing capacity and an optional all-new all-wheel drive system, the 2013 CX-5 truly offers a little of everything for everyone.
