#LAAUTOSHOW : REAL LIFE SHOTS Of Mazda's CX-5 - Hybrid And Diesel Options Make This The Swiss Army Knife Of Crossovers

Some automakers simply get it and others simply keep searching aimlessly. One of the brands that “gets it”, is Mazda. From the MX-5 sports car to the ever growing range of crossovers, they not only compete, but do so with well thought out designs that appeal those wanting something a bit different.

You need to look no further that the redesigned CX-5 Crossover. Not wanting to leave well enough alone, Mazda has revamped this crossover from the top to bottom and is expanding the power train options with a plugin hybrid and even a diesel option for those disenfranchised Volkswagen diehards.

We think this one is a guaranteed money shot.

It needs a power tailgate to compete with the others in this category, and really needs Apple Car Play/Android Auto to attract us techies.

The diesel will absolutely interest this VW customer. I will absolutely be test driving it when the diesel is released.
