The 2026 MAZDA CX-5 Is More Enticing Than Ever
Showing off design touches inspired by woodworking, the 2026 Mazda CX-5 kicks off the SUV’s third generation with a compelling look, fantastic dynamics, and sought-after amenities. The best-selling Mazda model of all time, this Mazda SUV is a long-standing favorite among families and driving enthusiasts. Explore what’s new with the Mazda CX-5 here at Modern Mazda.
Power and Performance
Taller, wider, and longer than the outgoing model, the redesigned Mazda CX-5 is even more fun to drive thanks to updated tuning that gives it sharper responses to an operator’s input. A 2.5-liter inline-four engine powers the five-passenger SUV, and it delivers 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. The engine pairs nicely with a six-speed automatic transmission and an i-ACTIV AWD® system.
Technology Features
Given its larger size, the Mazda CX-5 now has best-in-class rear legroom and a bigger cargo area. Naturally, that means the SUV has more room for technology features. Those features include a digital gauge cluster and a 12.9-inch infotainment touchscreen.
While the standard touchscreen is nicely sized, a 15.6-inch touchscreen is available as an option. The 15.6-inch touchscreen is the largest ever offered in a Mazda vehicle, signaling what the future might hold for other Mazda models.
Both touchscreens are compatible with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity. A Google-based infotainment system is standard throughout the SUV’s lineup, and it provides access to Google apps.
You can give the upscale cabin an even more modern feel by adding more tech features to your Mazda CX-5. Wireless charging and a driver information display are two add-ons you may want to consider. If you want to set the mood for long drives, it’s wise to add the available seven-color ambient interior lighting.
Safety Features
Like other new Mazda vehicles, the reworked Mazda CX-5 has an array of advanced safety and driver-assistive features. A rear-seat alert will remind you to check the back seats for pets and kids as you exit your SUV, while traffic sign recognition will interpret road signs for you. A blind-spot monitor, adaptive cruise control, and a lane departure warning with lane-keep assist will actively work to keep you and others safe on the road.
