Will the 2015 CX5 be out this January?
 

I found this:
Mazda Announces Vehicle Start Dates for the 2015-MY CX-5 and Mazda 6 - Top News - Vehicle Research - Top News - Automotive Fleet

And, I found this:
2015 Mazda CX-5 | New And Future Cars- Information, Reviews

Thanks for those links. I've been wondering when the 2015 CX-5 would arrive. I assumed it would be later in the year than January but happy it appears it that assumption was wrong.

After driving the CX-5 and the Mazda3 hatchback I feel the CX-5 fits our family needs better re: size but I absolutely loved the navigation/infotainment upgrades they put into the Mazda3. They put a lot of thought into it and I think it shows. I also liked the simpler shift gate set-up in the Mazda3. The heads-up display I could take or leave. We had basically decided to wait till they show up in the CX-5...now it looks like we won't have that long to wait!

What I like about Mazda's current update strategy is that it appears to be of the "running change" variety without regard to traditional model year changes. This is a great benefit to the consumer. What I don't like about it is they seem to have locked themselves in to being a full model year ahead of themselves rather than using a more logical naming strategy of 2014.5 or even 2014.1, 2014.2, etc. BTW athiker, someone on another forum posted a picture he shot the other day of a new CX-5 just landed at his dealer that had the revised Mazda3-type autoshift lever. So you wait is over on that issue!

I am going to use history as validation for this release date. The la car show is 11/20, I am sure they will will show the changes then and the release date, just as they did for the '14 with the 2.5 motor.
If this is true, then now is a bad time to buy a '14 if you want a '14 as they will be marked down in a month or so to make room for the '15.

Did the car get shown at the LA Motor Show? Any news at all? I ordered a brand new 2.2 AWD Diesel Sport Nav in Crystal White Pearl in December for delivery on 1st March which is the first date of registration for 2014 cars in the UK. My dealer has confirmed Im getting the new facelift model so I assume it begins delivery soon! Anyone got any info on what the facelifts are and what now comes as standard on UK models? Loads if speculation online....

Taken from another site:

Modern Motors Mazda Dodge Ram | Vehicles for sale in Thomaston, CT 06787

The 2015 model begins production next week I have been informed. Also been told the safety pack will come as standard and that the passenger seat on top of the range models will be electronically adjustable and the drivers seat gets a memory function!

No news on infotainment system upgrade yet tho!

Any chance that the 2015 will include i-eloop?

Do we think the 2014 model will see a price mark down once the 2015 is released?

The article linked in the OP states the following:

There will be no notable change under the hood of the CX-5 2015. Just like the current model, the car will be powered by two different engines: a 155 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque 4-cylinder 2.0-liter engine, and a 184 hp and 185 lb-ft of torque 4-cylinder 2.5 liters engine. The two engines will use a 6-speed automatic or manual transmission system.

Does this mean the 2.5 engine will be offered with a manual transmission? What about manual with AWD?

I'll be purchasing a new vehicle in the next year or two, and the CX-5 is on my short list. The biggest drawback is the 6 speed manual is only offered on the base 2WD model. I like what the higher trims have to offer, but I will NOT buy a vehicle with an automatic or CVT transmission.

there is no sign of a new mazda cx-5 in england - did notice that they look way cheaper in the states - looking at £25000 min!

Production of 2015 CX-5 started in January and to hit USA dealers in February.
Seeing dealers across the country advertise 2015s on autotrader, but no pics yet.
Have yet to see specs or reviews of 2015 yet. Coming soon.

Looks like a bad sign with 5.8" display shown in your euro links. That is same size display as 2014 CX-5 while the Mazda3 is 7". This could mean the 2015 CX-5 will not get the Mazda3 infotainment upgrade. Thats a shame because that is the only bad thing about the CX-5 and had hoped it would get that upgrade. I was waiting for this for my car purchase in February. Guess I'll have to reconsider the competition.

According to my dealer there is no infotainment upgrade.

Obviously disappointed if the new infotainment set-up from the 3 is not transitioned to the CX-5. Mazda USA website does not show a 2015 CX-5 or for that matter a Mazda6 yet so will most likely wait for confirmation. Glad the new shift gate made it over.

This does throw a bit of a monkey wrench into my thoughts. I've been going back and forth between a CUV and a sedan anyway. The CX-5 was tops on my CUV list but maybe its time for a sedan afterall.

Would be tough to buy a more expensive vehicle that has lesser tech than that same brand's economy offering. I've read of a CX-5 2114.5 with some intermediate changes that is preceding the true 2015 MY roll-out. Will see if that is the case and if the infotainment system does or does not show up on the actual 2015 MY. Maybe it will but we won't see the 2015 in January as expected in the first post...maybe the real 2015 will come later this year?

Wow!! I wish I had known this earlier in the week. I bought a CX-5 on Wednesday and could have easily waited 2-3 weeks. I never would have guessed that so early in '14, Mazda would release '15s. Missed out on whatever little improvements are coming.

Arghhh!!

Latest word is that 2015 models will have little change, but a small price increase. The 2015 models should be showing up any day now.

"The 2015 models should be showing up any day now."

I have been hearing this for a month and it is getting old. They started making them 2nd week of Jan, they should have been here weeks ago. I know they wait until they have enough to fill up a freighter, but c'mon!As for these dealers that post vin #'s but no pics of vapor cars, that is pretty old too.
My local ripoff dealer has had very few '14 CX5's for sale since Dec, it is like that elsewhere too.

What is New for 2015
The 2015 Mazda CX-5 is mostly carryover from last yr. The only notable change is the addition of Mazda Superior Keyless Entry as standard gear on Touring and Grand Touring trims.

I'm sure everyone knows by now the 2015 is out. Just picked up a 2015 CX-5 Touring last week. Love it!

And my 2015 GT has long horizontal turn signal indicators on the backs of the side view mirrors. Another one of the 2015 GT's on the lot didn't have them. And they were both trimmed out with all the same features/ packages. Mine just had a slightly more recent build date. Go figure.

Appears those of us with build dates of 04/14 or later have the newer style mirrors.
