Mazda 5 to be updated with SkyActiv tech in Malaysia?

mazda_5_6

It seems the Mazda 5 is the next model to receive the SkyActiv treatment in Malaysia – Mazda 3S & Tribos Application Centre’s Facebook page has yielded indicative pricing and features for the updated MPV.

An OTR with insurance price of RM157,264 is listed – that’s about RM4k more than the non-SkyActiv Mazda 5, which was launched in December 2010.

The post adds that deliveries are set to happen between late February and early March, and that Aluminium, Jet Black, Crystal Pearl White and Metallic Grey body colours will be available.

Like the similarly-engined 3, 6 and CX-5, the Mazda 5 SkyActiv 2.0 should see a 2.0 litre SkyActiv engine and six-speed SkyActiv auto combo replace the previous 2.0 litre MZR unit and five-speed Activematic auto.

    Seems like an OK price, but isn’t there the new Biante which does give similar specs for 146k?

    What? I thought Mazda 5 will be phased out? The similarity of the Biante and Mazda 5 are too high. Side note, the showroom in Sutera Utama Johor is funny. The salesman said Mazda Malaysia is not intend to import any Mazda 5 as the profit margin is very low to the company, thus, if one would like to buy, deposit should be placed and then only the branch will liaison with the distributor HQ Malaysia and ‘try’ to specially import a unit to Malaysia.

  • 3 weeks before CNY already confirmed with Mazda Malaysia that Mazda5 with SkyActiv + 6 speeds transmission will be on the road right after CNY as pending custom clearance.

    Was informed the RM157k++ too.

    Prefer this model than Biante :-)

    Mazda is good car. But in Malaysia, the worse after sales and service. To add more headache is the expensive spare parts. Mazda5 aircon compressor already cost me RM7,000. Where else Camry just around RM2k for a new unit. Lastly, 2nd hand value. It will fall the lowest among others. Wanna trade in my Mazda5, i need to topup RM20k just to cover my loan. If other model, can fetch much higher. Will stay away 4eva from Mazda if i am in Malaysia

    wonder what’s the function of ‘karakuri’ seat in the middle row. cant even fit a small baby seat. suggest mazda 5 come up with a 3 seater middle row like other European mpv. and also 6 airbags.
