Mazda's been busy at the Los Angeles Auto Show: The automaker debuted an all-new subcompact crossover, the CX-3; showed off a redesigned MX-5 Miata roadster; and unveiled updates to its midsize car and compact crossover. Both the Mazda6 and CX-5 get a mildly face-lifted exterior, revised control layout, new cabin materials and additional connectivity systems for 2016.

Mazda's compact SUV was new for 2012, and the automaker has updated it slightly for every model year since its launch. For 2016, the CX-5's face gets a slightly bolder looking grille with new metallic gray accents. The headlights have a revised interior layout, and Mazda's "signature" LED lighting is optional with the Technology Package.
Under the hood, the CX-5 is again available with either a 2.0-liter or 2.5-liter four-cylinder, and Mazda says it has updated the crossover's suspension for a more compliant ride. Drive Selection, which allows drivers to switch drive modes "for a more responsive driving experience," Mazda said in a statement, is also newly available this year. The ride should also be quieter thanks to additional sound insulation throughout the body.
Inside, the climate control buttons have been moved up slightly on the panel, and the new CX-5 uses the latest version of the Mazda Connect knob-controller-based multimedia system. Other highlights include an electronic parking brake, longer rear-seat cushions, larger door pockets for more storage and new interior trim options: an aluminum-look panel with a vertical hairline finish, a metallic-finish panel and a piano black panel.
The Mazda6's updates are similar. Outside, the sedan wears a revised winged grille design and new LED headlamps. Inside, it also gets the same instrument panel tweaks as the CX-5 as well as the latest version of the Mazda Connect multimedia system and an electronic parking brake. Mazda says the revised sedan also gets similar suspension and noise reduction updates for 2016 for a smother, quieter drive; the Drive Selection is also newly available on the Mazda6.
