The car seen here is the Luxury Sports version, and for a S$15k extra over the Elegance trim you get daytime running lights, red front intake grille accents, ventilated front seats, hands-free electric hatch, heads-up display, steering wheel-mounted sequential shifter paddles, and a 10-speaker Bose audio system along with a bunch of other smaller details. It comes in three trim levels, starting with the basic Elegance trim, then the mid-range Luxury trim and then the top-spec, arguably ungrammatical, Luxury Sports trim. In the case of the Mazda CX-5, the changes are slight enough that the casual bystander will likely not notice much, but it does have reshaped front and rear bumpers, head and tail light units, and new wheel design options. Depending on economies, budgets, and sales popularity, a car’s production life cycle usually runs from four to eight years.
This helps with the perceived newness of the product in the eyes of potential customers, and for those in the know, it also signals that the car has reached the halfway point of its production. To keep the models relevant it’s customary for almost every carmaker to roll out a new version of a car around the midpoint of its lifecycle. Now five years later the car has been given its customary midlife makeover. The original CX-5 first appeared on sale in 2012, and that lasted five years until the next-gen model appeared in 2017. The medium-sized, five-seater SUV with a 2.0-litre petrol engine is still only in its second generation. SINGAPORE - This is the midlife update of the second-generation Mazda CX-5.
