The Mazda CX-5 Intercooler cools the compressed air and directs it into the engine so that the turbo can provide the engine with stronger and cleaner power without increasing stress levels. This small heat exchanger is placed between the turbocharger and intake manifold, and it reduces the temperature of the air in order to pack oxygen molecules tightly and burn richer and thus safer each time the throttle is pressed. Not only does that temperature reduction increase horsepower but it also reduces the chances of knock, further enhancing the reputation of the vehicle as one that is reliable on everyday commutes and on spirited weekend races. It takes advantage of the natural wind passing through the grille using a lightweight air-to-air core, which avoids the leakage and additional weight of pumps that dull steering feel, while higher trim versions can also use an air-to-liquid setup to further enhance heat rejection in hot climates. In any case, Mazda installs heavy bypass valves in the immediate area so that, when there is an increase in surge pressure, these are instantly depressurized to spare the hoses and prevent damage to the Intercooler. The unit is directly bolted to both KE and KF generations of the CX-5, being compatible with both petrol and diesel layouts and the subsequent 2.5-liter turbo, so upgrading or replacing it is easy for every Mazda owner. It reduces intake heat to enable Skyactiv drivetrains to achieve astonishing fuel economy numbers, demonstrating that efficiency does not have to be dull or incompatible with excitement since it shares the same parking spot as Mazda. There is also an added advantage in safety scores, since the cooler air makes combustion less volatile when the sudden rise of hills or heavy loads requires additional power and the Intercooler keeps the temperatures in check. Another characteristic that drivers like is the use of corrosion-resistant aluminum channels, which shake off road salt and keep performance consistent even after the warranty expires, leaving the CX-5 to fulfill the Mazda ideals of simplicity, durability, and spirited power.
