As if the Mazda CX-5 couldn't get any better looking, the Mazda CX-5 Urban's set up at the 2014 New York International Auto Show dropped several jaws, including ours. It may look like the typical Mazda CX-5 at a glance, but with a stare, you can tell that the Mazda CX-5 Urban Concept deserves a throne too. For now it's a concept, and was first shown at SEMA 2012. But what we would give for this concept to become reality!

So far has the matte craze gone that Mazda has developed a custom paint process that enables the application of subtle triangular-like shapes of slightly varying hues. We have it on good authority that even the slightest hint of light imbues the otherwise-flat finish with hints of depth. Furthermore, thin pinstripes of a shade referred to as Ore appear as an accent outlining the matte-black wheels, as a precision feature in the headlamps, and as a change of shade to the five-point grille.
Pompous additions known as wheel-flare extensions adorn each corner, shrouding a quartet of antagonistic 22-inch Ace Alloy Scorpio matte-black wheels. The CX-5 Urban also features a Racing Beat dual exhaust that’s sure to emit a plangent tone. While we can’t condone the manufacture of such a roguish vehicle, we must admit it is truly one spectacularly murdered-out hooptie. -Car and Driver
The Mazda CX-5 Urban Concept isn't just a looker, but a performer too, even with the 22 inch wheels! Providing 175 horsepower and 310 lbs-ft of torque, it's bound to drop some performer junkies' jaws. Until, well if and when this concept ever becomes reality, we can settle, without actually settling for the Mazda CX-5. Available in AWD, and turns heads without a doubt, too!
