context_page_description: The Mazda CX-5 is a compact crossover produced by Mazda starting in 2012 for the 2013 model year lineup. It is Mazda's first car featuring its "Kodo" design language, as first shown in the Shinari concept car in May 2011.
  It shares its platform with the Mazda3 and Mazda6, and is also the first vehicle featuring the company's full suite of SkyActiv technologies, using a rigid, lightweight platform combined with a series of engines and transmissions to reduce emissions and fuel consumption. Skyactiv engines and transmissions were first sold in the 2012 Mazda3.

Initial models were available with either a 2.0 L petroleum engine or a diesel engine, with front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive as options (FWD was only available with a 2.0-equipped CX-5). An automatic transmission was standard on all-wheel drive models, with manual available on the 2.0 petroleum Maxx FWD).
