Mazda to launch the new CX-5 2.2D in 2012

So now it's Mazda's turn to have ago at the already crowded cross over market with their CX-5 2.2D. And they hope to stand out from the crowd by stuffing it full of new technology.

Mazda will launch this technology under the SkyActiv banner – aimed at cutting weight, consumption and emissions. The two engines, the two gearboxes, the chassis, and the body, have all been designed and developed from scratch under the SkyActiv philosophy, and that means the CX-5 is light and fuel efficient.

There are  two engines, a 2.0-litre petrol and a 2.2-litre diesel, both mated to Mazda’s stop/start system. So will this new model jump ahead of the competition or just fade into the back round?
