World premiere of the all-new Mazda CX-5

Mazda unveiled the all-new Mazda CX-5 — a bold evolution of its best-selling SUV. Featuring a refined design, intuitive technology, and an optimised 2.5-litre petrol engine, the third-generation CX-5 is crafted to adapt to modern life and will launch across Europe starting in late 2025 at an exceptional value. The all-new Mazda CX-5 retains the iconic shape of its predecessor while advancing Mazda’s Kodo - Soul of Motion design language and integrating the latest Skyactiv technology—first introduced with the original CX-5 in 2012. Connectivity and usability have been elevated through reimagined HMI. The new 12.9- or 15.6-inch center display delivers smartphone-style interaction with customizable menus. For the first time in a Mazda, the all-new CX-5 with Google built-in makes every drive more helpful and connected. A 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and streamlined steering wheel controls help ensure essential information is delivered clearly. Higher grades also include a 12-speaker Bose® sound system. Evolved under the design concept of “Wearable Gear”, the latest iteration presents a sportier, more confident form, suited to both urban and adventurous driving. New proportions and the extended wheelbase enhance road presence, stability and interior and cargo space, increasing overall practicality for daily use. Designed for family life, the all-new CX-5 now has an additional 61 litres of cargo capacity, wider-opening rear doors and a 40:20:40 split-folding bench for extra versatility. The cabin offers a clean, spacious and calming environment crafted with refined materials. A simplified layout that wraps around the entire front contributes to a driver-focused yet family-friendly atmosphere. Key features include a new center console with enhanced storage and – on higher trims – a panoramic sunroof that emphasizes openness. Ambient lighting on the front door trims, exclusive to the top-tier Homura grade, adds to the cabin’s refined and tranquil environment. The all-new CX-5 is offered in four grades – Prime-Line, Centre-Line, Exclusive-Line, and Homura – each with distinct interior finishes and equipment. Interior options include black or tan leather (Homura) and a two-tone black-and-white artificial leather and suede-like finish (Exclusive-Line).

BMW HypersonX Short Version

As it pulls back the curtain on a new era in 2025, fuelled by the all-electric Neue Klasse models, BMW is creating a holistic driving and user experience that breaks genuinely new ground. One of the elements of the far-reaching BMW Panoramic iDrive concept is the new HypersonX soundscape. Developed by the BMW Group Sound Design Studio, it comprises 43 sound signals and special driving sounds for Personal Mode and Sport Mode. The multi-dimensional spectrum adapts the sounds precisely to the driving situation at hand and, in so doing, creates an emotional interaction between the driver and their vehicle. This new stage in the evolution of the automotive sound experience has been made possible by the technological advances in hardware and software brought by the Neue Klasse. The revolutionary BMW Operating System X and a newly developed control unit pave the way for an innovative audio architecture. This allows the overall experience offered by the Neue Klasse to be perfected at an acoustic level, as well as in terms of vehicle character, driving experience and functional range.
