Mazda in Europe has made a number of enhancements to its very popular CX-5 SUV, writes Brian Byrne.
They include upgrades to design in the interior, and improvements to the powertrains and driving experience.

The most important change is the addition of cylinder-deactivation to manual 2.0 petrol models, enabling the cutting off of two cylinders under low-load conditions, to improve fuel efficiency.
The engines range in the Irish market include 165hp petrol, and 2.2 diesles with 150hp and 184hp outputs.
Prices start at €30,695.
