The 2026 Redesign
The 2026 Mazda CX-5 is a complete ground-up redesign. Approximately 4.5 inches longer than the outgoing model, with significantly more rear passenger space, expanded cargo capacity, and a new 12.9-inch Google built-in infotainment system. Mazda’s i-ACTIV AWD comes standard on every trim at no additional cost, a genuine advantage for Connecticut drivers navigating four-season roads from Waterbury to Litchfield County.

We cover the three trims our Waterbury-area customers ask about most. Each one includes standard AWD, Google built-in, and Mazda’s expanded safety suite. Here is what sets them apart.
