Any CX-5 face lift introduced in Thailand this year?

[inventorinthailand]

The 2015 CX-5 has got a face lift. Does anyone know if CX-5 in Thailans will get it too this year?

[IMHO]

Word is that Malaysia (where TH sources from) will get the minor change (revealed last November) later this year, which probably means the Thai market will see it late 2015 or early 2016.

Looking at replacing the old chariot with the "All New 2015 CX-5"

any one talk to the sales guys at the motor show or know any info when it will be released locally?

BUMP.

Any news on whether the minor change CX5 is coming to Thailand? Assuming it is - any ideas when? Mazda Thailand sales staff are the last people to know. I'm hoping that since the CX3 looks like it's going to launch here around September (based on Thai blogs with pics taken this month of CX3 on the road somewhere near Bangkok) maybe they'll launch the updated CX5 at the same time.

I sat in the new model (in Singapore, where it's imported from Japan) and the interior is, IMO, way better in terms layout and 'quality feel' than the current model.

With the minor change CRV and new X-Trail both on the market in Thailand Mazda must be losing ground. You'd hope that would spur them to bring in the new CX5 but I doubt if logic plays a part in the thought process.

All I keep hearing is.. Later this year

Just saw Mazda dealer in BKK with "All New CX5" all over the windows

Mazda must use good quality paper for their signs to last that long under this hot sun.

'Don't know' is all you get from the dealer when you ask about the facelift.

[coops]

the real change needed is to the abysmal head unit for the entertainment system.

Wait for that, at least - from the current blue screen version with a cd slot (!) and small screen to when they replace it with an equivalent to what is available in the Mazda 3.

[eeeya]

Seems like that and a few touches in the interior plus front grill is all that is changed. Wish they'd hurry up and release it.

For sure if I buy the current model today, the all new model will release tomorrow

Bump. A friend is looking for a new suv. CX5, x.trail, crv. I said the CX5 is the best bet (top model, she has a budget of 1.6m ) like to think the new model is arriving?

Mate, you know the Everest is the best.

For sure - but In crossovers, I would rate the X-Trail over the CX-5....

Don't bother asking Mazda Thailand when new models are coming. They never know or can't be bothered to tell you. How can one buy a car from a company so disinterested?

By the time the facelift CX5 comes out it will need another one

Doesn't matter, she's buying a Hyundai H1 Starex VIP van. Quite nice and 450nm of torque.

Is this the she with the Camry or a new one?

[inventorinthailand]

Still no news about the new facelift comming to Thailand?

[mark5335]

I checked with a Mazda dealer in Bangkok 2 weeks ago, and they said there's no news of any update to the CX5 for this year.

[Cook my sock]

Nope. Mazda Thailand really missed out not releasing the facelift imo. I reckon it would have been a big hit.. I'd have bought it.

Dealers are not always the best sources of "when's the new model coming" information - it's their mission to sell you a car now

That said, Mazda TH are currently focussing all their efforts on the CX-3 launch next month, and it's expected we'll see the minor change CX-5 in H1 2016 - most likely March/April.

Bit late tho. Honda now have nearly two thirds of the SUV market in Thailand.

Wait until the Honda BR-V arrives if you think Honda are already doing well in the segment

In the passengers car and SUV segments, Mazda are clearly more focussed on profitability than market share numbers, IMHO.

Mazda might seem like a natural competitor to Honda if you come from Australia -but in every other market they are way behind Honda's sales numbers.

An issue with Mazda is that the foreign design team don't see eye to eye with the Japanese management. Quite an odd marriage

I might move over to Philippines. Car models there are much more in line on whats are released in US and Europe. The face-lifted CX-5 2.5l WITH AWD, cost equivalent to 1,285,000 baht over there, AND it is made in Japan. No diesel yet due to lack of diesel quality.

[BBJ]

Not the CX-5 but the press release of the all new CX-3 will be held next week.

[Cook my sock]

Took Mazda too long to get that car out..

If anyone has any news on the cx5 update let us know.. Dynamically it DELETED all over its rivals inc the new X1

[IMHO]

Where/Did you get a test drive of the Thai spec F48 X1?

[inventorinthailand]

Now, 24th of Feb, Mazda is going to release the new CX-5 face lift. The 2.5L seems to be canceled, an a 2WD diesel will be introduced. I can't find any price on the 2WD diesel though.

[coops]

as well as the 2wd Diesel oprion, the major change for the better is the new audio head unit - anything would be an improvement on the old one.

[linguini]

any idea if the minor change CX-5 is still imported from Malaysia as well?
