Mazda confirms when it will introduce the new CX-5 in SA
As to be expected, an array of enhanced driver assistance and safety features are also available, but the extent of these available locally will be confirmed closer to launch.
Under the bonnet, those of you expecting the option of mild-hybrid powertrains might be disappointed to hear the new CX-5 will initially only be available in South Africa with Mazda's 132kW/242Nm naturally aspirated 2.5 l four-cylinder petrol engine with SkyActiv technology. It comes meshed to a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.
'The next-generation CX-5 marks a significant milestone for Mazda globally,' said Mazda South Africa marketing and communications head Deolinda Da Costa.
'While we look forward to introducing it locally, we're equally committed to delivering outstanding value and features with our current line-up.'

Armormax reveals new Ford Ranger Double Cab security variant
South African armoured car specialist Armormax has debuted its new Ford Ranger Double Cab security variant. Designed for patrol and intercept duties, the vehicle is capable of handling tough off-road terrain and comes equipped with a discreet B6 armouring package that offers protection against commonly used assault rifles. To maintain a stock appearance, Armormax used a combination of Ramor and Armox ballistic steel, lightweight composite materials certified to the B6 EN 1063 standard, an Optima-sourced B6 ballistic windscreen and custom side windows with Phoenix B6 ballistic glass. These are mounted in a bolt-on/bolt-off frame made of ballistic steel. The standard OEM windows are retained, though inoperable, to preserve the vehicle's original look. A custom rear window with Phoenix B6 ballistic glass is bolted to a ballistic steel frame and mounted on a quick-release system that doubles as an escape hatch. This rear exit was chosen over a roof-based escape system to ensure usability regardless of the vehicle's orientation in the event of a rollover.
