The bottom image is a cx-3.
Ah, ok. That makes sense...
The bottom image is a cx-3.
Looks kinda of like a bigger version of the 2017 CX-3 (styling-wise).
The front overhang on that CX-5 looks enormous. Like 2X as long as the CX-3 which is already too damn long.
Yeah has to fit the 2.5l engine and the headers. If you've ever seen the Mazda3 hatchback or sedan in person now that thing also has a long hood relative to the rest of the car's shape. The Mazda6 and CX-9 look balanced with the long hood. The CX-5 (2012-2016) don't appear like the hoods look too long for their size.
These photos are of the CX-3 which is derived from the Mazda2 platform.
Maybe the overhang is longer because maybe they will finally add turbo option?

Guys thats a CX-9
