You’ve seen it at the Manila International Auto Show and now, this is your first chance to drive it. Mazda Philippines is offering the public to try out the all-new 2017 CX-5 crossover for the first time at the STV Auto Focus Summer Test Drive Festival happening at the SM Mall of Asia this April 20-23.

“The best way to decide whether one wants to purchase a car or not is through a test drive,” says Steven Tan, President and CEO of Bermaz Auto Philippines, the exclusive distributors of Mazda vehicles and parts in the country. He adds, “Mazda vehicles have always excelled in driving dynamics, this is the core essence of our Jinba Ittai philosophy which brings the driver and his car together. And what better way for the motoring public to experience this than by actually getting behind the wheel of our latest vehicles?”

Apart from the all-new CX-5, Mazda Philippines will also be offering the Mazda2 Premium Series, Mazda3 Speed, Mazda6 Sports Wagon, and CX-3 AWD Activ for test drives.

The brand will also be displaying its 2017 collection headlined by the 7-seater CX-9 crossover powered by a turbocharged 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G engine as well as the Mazda3 Speed decked out in the new signature Machine Gray color. The 2017 BT-50 4x4 pickup truck will also be on display.

The STV Auto Focus Summer Test Drive Festival opens from 11 AM to 9 PM.
