Should I wait for the new CX-5 or go for the current model?

I have a new Mazda CX-5 from stock due for part exchange with a 4 year old Skoda Superb in early January. I've read your 'Best for 2017' and saw new improved CX-5 due mid 2017. The garage are happy to go with me either way. However, details of the new CX-5 are sparse. What would you advise?

Brexit means that UK car prices are likely to rise by about 10% in the New Year. The new CX-5 is much better looking. Is the dealer offering a new model blight discount on the new CX-5? That, plus the prospect of the likely 10% increase, might swing it for me.
