Mazda is creeping closer and closer to the release of their all new crossover model, the Mazda CX-5, and everyone here at Avondale Mazda couldn't be more thrilled. There are a number of reasons behind our anticipation for this model, and they range from its fuel economy to its incredible design. But, perhaps the most understated feature of the Mazda CX-5 is what it's actually made of.

More specifically, we're talking about the fact that the upcoming Mazda CX-5 makes use of a new form of ultra-high tensile steel, which has a positive effect on the vehicle in almost every way possible. First, there's the vehicle's weight, which is reduced by 10.5 pounds with this new material's use. Then there's its strength. When ultra-high tensile steel is implemented, the front and rear bumpers become 20 percent stronger.

This happens because the ultra-high tensile steel can absorb more shock than most other materials used in bumpers today. Of course, the benefits of this new material don't simply stop at making occupants more safe in case of a collision either. Instead, the vehicle sees improvements in maneuverability too.

"Mazda conducted extensive research into how bumper beams deform in a crash, and created a new design that absorbs energy more efficiently," says one report.¹
