The all-new 2026 Mazda CX-5 has been officially revealed. Mazda's best-selling crossover returns with a long list of big updates. Not only does the redesigned CX-5 boast some exciting new features, but it also has an even more striking appearance. Enhanced cargo space makes the new model even more appealing.
Updated Kodo Design Language
This SUV flaunts the latest evolution of Mazda's sleek Kodo design language. The CX-5's more chiseled front end features newly styled LED headlights and an updated grille. Meanwhile, new taillights give the rear fascia a fresh look. For drivers who desire a seriously aggressive stance, Mazda offers an especially sporty set of 19-inch alloy wheels. Several premium paint colors are available, including Mazda's signature Soul Red Crystal Metallic hue.
Spacious, High-Tech Interior
There's no overlooking the 2026 Mazda CX-5's larger size. Among the SUV's biggest highlights is its more spacious cargo area, which allows you to accommodate larger items. Of course, tech lovers will enjoy the latest Mazda Connect infotainment system. It offers a substantially larger 15.6-inch touchscreen with Google built in. The interface's smartphone-like usability makes it especially satisfying to use. With seven ambient interior lighting color options, you can easily adjust the cabin's mood to match your personal preference.
Popular Powertrain Carries Over
The new CX-5 will initially launch with Mazda's popular 2.5-liter, SkyActiv-G four-cylinder engine. It's rated to develop a pleasing 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission helps further enhance the SUV's responsive character. All trims will benefit from a standard i-Activ AWD system. You can also look forward to the new CX-5 to remain one of the best-handling models in the class.
Unwavering Safety
Mazda engineers the new CX-5 to provide outstanding impact protection. This crossover will also come standard with a slew of i-ACTIVSENSE safety technologies, including automatic emergency braking and blind-spot monitoring.
