Sorry. The one that should be coming is a rear-wheel drive. 03:32 Speaker A It's a front-front. 03:40 Speaker A Jack, how many times do I need to explain this to you? 03:54 Speaker A Wow, stop trying to confuse me. 04:00 Speaker A It's the altitude or is it the attitude? 04:13 Speaker A Up front, it takes on a wider, more upright signature grille framed by sleek adaptive matrix LED headlights. 04:21 Speaker A The roof-side height has been adjusted to let occupants enter and exit easily without excessive neck tilting. 04:32 Speaker A What neck tilting? What's he talking about? 04:47 Speaker A The H-point, or hip point, has been moved forward so rear occupants can slide in and out of the vehicle with a single fluid sideways motion. 04:59 Speaker A Yeah. 05:07 Speaker A And the scuff plate width increased by 13 millimeters, giving a broader step to prevent scuffs and make entry easier for children. 05:19 Speaker A Kids, I have two. My wife has three. 05:32 Speaker A 19-inch blacked-out wheels wrapped in 255s for this all-wheel variant keep the CX-5 on 193 millimeters of ground clearance, capped off with linear LED lights and a flush power tailgate at the rear, where the traditional emblem has been replaced with Mazda. 05:48 Speaker A The '27 model is significantly larger than the '26 model in the sense that this is longer in total length and the wheelbase by 115 mm. 06:04 Speaker A It's taller by 30 mm and wider by 15 mm, which means there's just so much more space for passengers and cargo. 06:15 Speaker A The cargo depth has increased by 45 mm behind the back row, which is actually kind of big already. 06:27 Speaker A But then an additional 94 mm when you fold the back row, which brings the total cargo capacity to 538 liters with the seats up and 1,340 with the seats down, which you can do from right here. 06:32 Speaker A Jack, why didn't you take out the tunnel? 06:47 Speaker A Do I have to do everything? I did not know. 06:59 Speaker A I mean, I didn't see that one. 07:10 Speaker A He did not know that he had to take out the tunnel. 07:20 Speaker A It's deep. 90-degree opening.
