Bermaz Previews New Mazda CX-5 2.5 CKD

After a temporary hiatus, the facelifted Mazda CX-5 2.5-litre will be resuming its sales locally very soon. Previously, the CX-5 2.5-litre facelift was only available in fully imported form. There were also a small number of CX-5 2.5-litre pre-facelift model that were locally assembled at the Berjaya-Sime Darby co-owned Inokom plant in Kulim.
