Mazda will be developing a new crossover CUV called the Mazda CX-5 based on the recent Mazda Hakaze Concept. Mazda says the CX-5 will be engineered to provide the fun driving experience of an MX-5 combined with the practicality of the CX-7 SUV. It will be a targa, which means roof panels are removable to create a semi-open top cabin. The 5-door small SUV will also have it’s rear doors installed RX-8 suicide-style.

like a mouse!
Who is target for?
this competes with the freelander
and the Sportage, Tucson, CRV, Rav4, its own Mazda 5 and Mazda 3 hatchback, and a bit of stretch, the Murano…….
yeah. freelander was the most obvious example because of the likeliness to use the same platform.
Nice CUV! :)
Reminds me of the 1st generation RAV4. Very sporty looking, unlike most of today's SUV that loses its sporty look.
BTW, Nice Smiley face :D
Donno bout the performance yet, but lookwise, it's already defeated the Freelander. Hope Mazda will develop the Kabura or Nagare concept too, both look sweet, especially the doors.
Mazda CX-5 would be replaced the current Mazda Tribute, I think Mazda will launch it by late 2008.
Zoom Zoom…
