Feeling the Mazda CX-5 with his Skyactive

Mazda Motor Indonesia (MMI) inviting the media to try to direct SKYACTIV technology in CX-5 in Bali (1-3/5) before the launch (11/5) in Jakarta. On the first day KompasOtomotif into the rear passenger on the Touring variant. As a Passenger The journey begins Krobokan, after lunch, and an explanation of the technology used Mazda in this SUV. Target locations are Pecatu region. When it gets into the second row, leg room is quite spacious, as well as headroom. Backrest fitting, not too tall or fall down to 175 cm stature. During the trip, the suspension feels comfortable swing as it passes and bumpy asphalt road surface. But as it passes through potholes and damaged roads, dings was loud enough and directly due to the CX-5 uses a thin profile tires Toyo Proxes 225/55 R19. When passing through the winding roads in the area of ​​campus towards Pecatu Udayana, the stomach is not churning though somewhat unsteady due to the movement of the soft suspension damping. As driver On the second day, it's time behind the wheel, rather difficult to find the position of the start / stop on the dashboard is hidden behind the steering wheel on the left. The driving position can be adjusted easily by just pressing a button to transform the position of the seat. While the wheel is set automatically by the system tilt and telescopic steering. Participants are directed towards the hotel in Seminyak Bali Jimbaran Cliff. When out of the hotel parking area, obtained by three notes. First, the size of a large mirror slightly obstruct the view side. Both the steering wheel feels a bit heavy as a BMW 3 Series E46 models. Finally for my posture, left leg a bit stuck when it rested on the foot rest. Acceleration In urban traffic routes, should be able to keep the engine speed so as not preceded by other road users. Apart from the red light intersection Ngurah Rai airport, the road is empty, used to try the ability of the 2.0-liter 4-cylinder with SKYACTIV technology. Apparently, the engine with 13:1 compression ratio, power and torque 155 rpm PS@6.000 Nm@4.000 200 rpm, solid feel to reach 100 kph. SKYACTIV transmission technology was directed to provide convenience rather than a response. When in-bejek sudden (kick down), rounds up first, then the new berakseleras, in other words the response is rather late (to prevent the beat). Sign In Jimbaran area, the streets narrow, winding, uphill and down. Suitable for testing the stability. From behind the wheel, it felt a little unsteady due to body roll when driven at 60 kph. When he returned to Seminyak to watch the sunset, we returned to the state faced a solid start. Because short on time, I had to do some action moving point. Apparently, the Mazda CX-5 could do it with grace.
