lightly revised mazda cx 5 caught by spy cameras

The Mazda CX-5 is doing well for itself among critics and customers alike, but like anyone else, the automaker has some ideas on how the crossover can keep its edge.

Autoblog reports spy cameras caught a lightly camo’d CX-5 testing somewhere in Europe with tape covering parts of its face and backside. The head and rear lamps have been revised, along with the grill, and the side mirrors boast integrated turn signals.

Expect to see everything unmasked around the Los Angeles Auto Show this November prior to going on sale the following autumn for the 2016 model year.

It's undeniably a great CUV but I had rather hoped that the outdated infotainment system and the rear HVAC vents would have been addressed in this refresh.

  AFAIC, any CUV that *has* rear HVAC vents is "spiffy" and "neat" enough for me. I'm easily amused sometimes. My uncle got one of those fancy-dancy F-150s with the automatic running boards and now it's like he drives a spaceship. Zoom zoom.

  @Drzhivago138, you are not alone, I was pretty impressed by vents for both the 2nd and 3rd rows in the Toyota Highlander. But then I care about my passengers too (ok mostly I don't want to hear them whining about the lack of air.)

  @PrincipalDan Really, the best solution would be opening vent windows in the back, like in a minivan, or a 10th-gen Ford SuperCab, or...do any SUVs or CUVs have them?

If you believe that shot was taken by a "spy camera", please call me. I have some great Atlantic ocean front property in Arizona just the ticket for someone like you.

Wolfwagen How about some standardization of wiper controls? I have 5 different cars in my family's fleet and have driven a ton of rentals for work. Holy F*cking Sh*t Balls! Left side, right side, push the lever up to turn on, push the lever down to turn on, push the lever forward to turn on, pull the lever back to turn, slide indicator to the left to decrease intermittent wipe time, slide indicator to the right to decrease intermittent wiper time.

Rochester Tim, where was your head at in 1984 when it became a law to wear your seatbelt? Personally I thought it was none of the Gubmint's bizniss to force me to belt up. Today, I feel exposed and unsafe without it. My point is, give it time, both the tech and your values will evolve.
