One of the stars at this year’s Motor Expo is the new Mazda CX-5, which was officially introduced weeks before the show. While also taking orders for the CX-5, Mazda followed up the launch with lengthy media test drives which started off in Chiang Rai and ran alongside the Mekong river before returning to Bangkok. The CX-5 test drivers had to motor the vehicles through all types of roads, starting with treacherous mountain curves in Chiang Rai. The CX-5 is a crowd magnet at the Motor Expo in many ways, the first being the exterior design. Apart from better ride comfort, it also allows the audio system (read the CX-5 audio system review below) to perform better since the cabin is quieter to begin with.
