The Thailand Motor Expo 2024 will be held from November 29 to December 10, 2024, and the globally popular Mazda CX-5 is set to make an appearance at the event. Mazda, known for its excellent handling and chassis tuning, is highly favored by young consumers, and its booth will be located at A09.

The first-generation Mazda CX-5 was launched globally in 2012, and in the same year, it won the “2012-2013 Japan Car of the Year” award, among other honors. The current Mazda CX-5 is still in its second generation, which was introduced at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show. Based on Mazda’s product iteration schedule and various sources, the all-new Mazda CX-5 is expected to make its debut at the 2025 Tokyo Motor Show and be released in 2026.

The current Mazda CX-5 in Thailand offers three model variants, with a price range of THB 1,410,000 to 1,850,000. Its fuel consumption is between 6.2 and 8.3L/100km, and its 0-100 km/h acceleration time is between 5.0 and 10.5 seconds. The Mazda CX-5 has been praised for its performance in power and handling, but it falls short in passenger space compared to other vehicles in the same class, making it less ideal for family use.
Mazda CX-5 2.0 S 2024: THB 1,219,000
Mazda CX-5 2.0 SP 2024: THB 1,299,000
Mazda CX-5 2.2 XDL 2024: THB 1,669,000

Mazda’s President and CEO, Akira Maeda, recently announced that the next-generation Mazda CX-5 will be released next year and will feature Mazda’s new hybrid technology, rather than adopting Toyota's hybrid system. It is reported that the complexity of the Mazda CX-5 will be reduced by about 60% compared to the current model, with its specifications streamlined and supply chain efficiency increased by 8%. As a result, we can expect a smaller, simpler range of models.

It is also worth noting that Bermaz will showcase the Mazda CX-5 MS Limited Edition at the upcoming Malaysian Motor Show, where "MS" may refer to Mazdaspeed—though there may not be any actual Mazdaspeed components. The dealership promises aesthetic improvements to the exterior (including body kits) and interior, as well as enhanced driving performance.

Perodua Myvi and Bezza may undergo major upgrades in 2026
After the update, the Bezza will no longer be just a low-cost alternative but a core model in the Perodua system with greater market competitiveness and brand premium potential. The upgrade of the Myvi is not to be unconventional but to strengthen the brand and market, ensuring that the Myvi continues to maintain its irreplaceable position in the new round of product competition.
Perodua Traz VS Ativa, which one is more worth buying?
Traz, as a newly launched mid-sized SUV, offers more spacious room and mainstream power compared to small SUVs, but its pricing appears slightly higher than that of Ativa. Ativa, on the other hand, is Perodua's long-time best-selling small SUV with more affordable pricing and a balanced combination of power and tech features.
Will the Toyota Yaris Cross come to Malaysia? If it comes, how much will it sell for?
The launch of Perodua Traz indicates that the market size of small SUVs in Malaysia has been expanding in recent years. However, the question naturally shifts back to Toyota. As a brand with the most comprehensive product line and a strong foundation in both the SUV and hybrid sectors, will Toyota choose the Yaris Cross to participate in this small SUV competition?
Perodua Traz VS Toyota Yaris Cross, where does the Traz fall short?
Before the official launch of the Perodua Traz, market expectations were actually very high because it shares the same DNGA platform as the Toyota Yaris Cross. However, sharing the same platform does not equate to the same experience, and the Traz's final performance has indeed been disappointing. Perhaps it is precisely because of the delayed launch that it has almost no competitiveness in the current competitive environment.
BYD discloses four patents for variable flux permanent magnet synchronous motors, addressing the efficiency conflict of motors at high and low speeds in automobiles
Traditional permanent magnet synchronous motors can provide strong torque at low speeds, but on highways, the fixed rotor magnetic flux leads to increased back electromotive force, causing a sharp drop in efficiency. This long-standing contradiction in the industry has now found a new solution with the announcement of BYD's latest technology patent.
