Tag: 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show

Our friends at Bullz-Eye took a trip to the Frankfurt Motor Show last week, where they had a chance to glimpse the new Mazda CX-5. The CX-5 is set to be introduced progressively to global markets beginning early next year.

Bullz-Eye got some great pics of the sporty new SUV, and had this to share about the car’s design:

As you can see from the photos above, the styling on this all-new crossover is sporty and aggressive. CX-5 becomes the first production model to feature Mazda‘s new design theme, “KODO – Soul of Motion.” Chief Designer Masashi Nakayama explained: “With the CX-5, our focus was on expressing a strong sense of vitality and agility. We looked at videos of cheetahs; their agile footwork and how they use their entire body as a spring to accelerate rapidly and change the direction instantly. They emanate great energy throughout their entire body. Inspired by their efficient yet beautiful movements, we aimed to push the SUV appearance to new levels with KODO design language.” The prominent front and rear fenders and sculptured body sides give the CX-5 a distinctive look, and we’ll start seeing the new front grille and face of the vehicle showing up on other Mazda cars.
