What We Know So Far
This CX-5 is Mazda’s third generation of that model. It retains the qualities people already admire while pushing forward with stronger design, more comfort and greater usability.
Under the hood, the 2026 CX-5 uses a 2.5-litre SkyActiv-G four-cylinder engine that delivers about 187 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque. It is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive (i-Activ AWD) is standard. Mazda says the powertrain has been recalibrated for more responsive performance and a quieter ride

Brand New Design & the KODO Philosophy
At the core of the redesign lies Mazda’s evolved KODO philosophy. Designers preserved the familiar CX-5 silhouette while optimizing proportions, stretching the wheelbase by about 3 inches, lengthening the body overall by 4.5 inches, and making the frame roughly half an inch wider. The front reveals a wider, sharper face with more angular lighting and the bold Signature Wing grille echoing Mazda’s larger CX-70 and CX-90. At the rear, new lighting harmonizes with the front’s sharper geometry, and the “MAZDA” name replaces the traditional badge for added presence.
The “Wearable Gear” design concept inspired many of these updates. It aims to create a vehicle that adapts gracefully to city life or open roads. Kigumi, the traditional Japanese wood-joinery style, influenced the fine craftsmanship at trim and fender connections, emphasizing precise joins rather than obvious seams.
Interior Comfort and Technology Reimagined
The 2026 CX-5 cabin has been redesigned to breathe. Every seat benefits from added space, with rear passengers enjoying greater leg, knee, and headroom. Wider door openings make climbing in effortless, and loading a child seat takes less juggling. At the back, the cargo area stretches nearly two inches longer and more than an inch taller, with a lower lift-in point that makes hauling gear refreshingly simple.
Craftsmanship speaks in the details. Ambient lighting along the front doors glows in seven selectable colours, setting the tone for every drive. Surfaces are clean and uncluttered, while trims carry the quiet refinement Mazda is known for.
Technology takes the spotlight. The available 15.6-inch touchscreen stands as the largest ever in a Mazda, equipped with Google built-in, customizable home screens, and quick-access functions. Even the standard display benefits from Mazda’s streamlined design — fewer buttons, smoother touch controls, and smart voice interaction that keeps attention on the road.
