2026 Mazda CX-5 Hits a Growth Spurt but Thankfully Stays Pretty

GLOBAL MARKETS INCLUDING EUROPE, AUSTRALIA, AND NORTH AMERICA, JUL 10 – Mazda's 2026 CX-5 grows in size and gains a larger 15.6-inch touchscreen while dropping the turbo engine, with a hybrid powertrain debuting in 2027 to boost electrification efforts.

  • Mazda will release its third-generation CX-5 in 2026, featuring a restyled, bigger body and an all-new interior with updated technology.
  • This update follows CX-5's long history since 2012 as Mazda's best-selling model, but Mazda has delayed the hybrid Skyactiv-Z powertrain until 2027, missing competition with Toyota's 2026 plug-in hybrid RAV4.
  • The 2026 model grows about 4.5 inches longer with a 3-inch longer wheelbase, wider door openings, improved rear legroom and headroom, and increased boot space compared to the predecessor.
  • Mazda retains the 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G four-cylinder engine with 187 horsepower and 185 lb-ft torque, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, as vice president Meisterfeld stated, "We didn't want to change the recipe."
  • The new CX-5 will slightly increase in weight but aims to maintain its driving DNA and fun-to-drive character while providing a more spacious, technologically advanced vehicle for global markets.
