Mazda is teasing its new CX-5 with a series of arty (read: less-than-revealing) images of the newcomer, ahead of its official reveal next Thursday July 10 (8pm New Zealand time).

Mazda CX-5.
Mazda is promising more space and 'human-centric' tech.

The new model has already been leaked in some fuzzy images and while specifics of the launch powertrains are not yet known, the company has acknowledged that there's a new Mazda-developed "SkyActiv-Z" hybrid powertrain in development - although that may be a couple of years away.

For now, Mazda is promising "sharper design" with a more spacious cabin, and "advanced... human-centric" technology. We'll know the full story (and show you the finished car) next week.
