THE FRONT AND REAR BUMPER COVERS (OR FASCIA) FOR THE 2013 CX-5 ARE 25 – 30% LIGHTER THAN THE PREVIOUS BUMPER COVERS USED ON MAZDA VEHICLES. THE WEIGHT REDUCTION WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY USING NEW MATERIALS THAT ARE NOW PART OF MAZDA’S OVERALL SKYACTIV® TECHNOLOGY. ALTHOUGH THE BUMPER COVERS ARE LIGHTER, THE REPAIR/REFINISHING PROCEDURES AND THE MATERIALS USED ARE NO DIFFERENT THAN THE PREVIOUS (PP) POLYPROPYLENE (HEAVIER) BUMPER COVERS MAZDA HAS USED IN THE PAST.
