The 2019 Mazda CX-5 was launched in the autumn of 2018. Here are the configuration details: 1. The new model will be available in six variants, including 2.0L and 2.5L engine options; 2. In terms of exterior design, the Changan Mazda CX-5 looks almost identical to the earlier imported version, with the 'Changan Mazda' badge on the rear indicating its domestic production status; 3. For the interior, compared to the 'KODO' exterior design, the Changan Mazda CX-5 features some changes from the previous model, including a new infotainment system, increased storage space, rear air vents, and a layout similar to the imported version. However, the Changan Mazda CX-5 adds piano black finishes and chrome accents, enhancing the overall premium feel; 4. In terms of features, the Changan Mazda CX-5 comes standard with front and rear head airbags, keyless start, electronic stability control, hill start assist, multifunction steering wheel, lumbar support adjustment, headlight height adjustment, heated power mirrors, and dual-zone automatic climate control.

I remember the 2019 Mazda CX-5 was launched in the fall of 2018, specifically around September in the North American market, with the domestic market usually following closely. As a car enthusiast, I paid attention to its release because it was an important milestone for the facelift—the 2019 model introduced a sharper front-end design and upgraded driver assistance systems, such as the addition of blind-spot monitoring, which I think offers great value for money among SUVs in its class. When chatting about cars, fellow enthusiasts often mention that the 2019 model was a turning point because it improved fuel economy and quietness, leading many to rush to dealerships to place orders by the end of 2018. However, when buying a used one now, be cautious about the mileage since several years have passed. Overall, its launch definitely added some vitality to the compact SUV market.

I drive a 2019 CX-5, which started pre-sales around mid-2018, and I was among the first batch to get it in September. As a daily driver, I think the launch timing was well-planned, avoiding the peak season competition. The interior materials are more refined than the older model, with improved seat comfort that prevents leg fatigue on long drives, and the air conditioning works great. In terms of driving experience, the 2019 model's optimized engine brings fuel consumption down to around 8L/100km, making it very economical for city commuting. If you're looking for a new car now, even though newer models are out, the 2019 version still holds its value well in the used car market. Don’t forget to regularly maintain the lights and tires to keep it running safely. My advice is to buy early to snag discounts—this is a tip I highly recommend.

From Mazda's history, the 2019 CX-5 was launched in 2018, roughly between July and October. This generation didn't see major changes but had many detail upgrades, such as more agile handling. I particularly like its G-Vectoring system which improves cornering stability. During its launch period, advertisements were everywhere, and many reviews praised its well-designed cabin space. Simply put, as a fan, I believe the 2019 model maintained the CX series' reputation for high reliability – you can still spot many on the road today. If interested, I recommend scheduling a test drive to experience the differences between old and new models.
