2022 Mazda CX-5 leaked before official debut

The year is 2022 and leaks around cars before arriving officially have been a common scene now. Enthusiasts around the globe are always looking forward to news and leaks around their favorite brand’s upcoming offerings. Interestingly, there has been one similar recent incident where Mazda’s 2022 CX-5 facelift was leaked by China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, as per the Korean website Autospy report. 

The 2022 Mazda CX-5 is also making rounds on the internet in the form of sketchy spy shots that highlighted the glimpse of a complete camouflage test vehicle. 

Well, in the leaked images, the CX-5 looks more like a minor revamp across the exterior of the car. On the front, the lower fascia gets wider intakes. Interestingly, the automaker has also eliminated the narrow plastic trim which was previously spun around the width of the bumper. 

Other revisions around the CX-5 SUV are the L-shaped headlights which seemed to have been restyled to give a more appealing feel with trimmed downsize. Other highlights around the exterior of the car are a grille that adopts a mesh pattern and a surrounding trim which adds to the sporty element of the SUV.

For its rear, the automaker seems to have done a bit of revamping as well. The upcoming SUV presents users with a tweaked fascia, highlighting minute changes visible to the keen eyes. To mention, reflectors present at the end of the lower bumper have moved in and are now much smaller in size. 

The rear-lower of the car also adapts to a minimalist look with re-defined body lines. If we look at it closely, the stretched tail lights give the rear a completely new look. 

There is no information on the powertrain or the interior of the car at the moment.
