If you’ve discovered that you need a new vehicle for the busy school year, look no further. The 2026 Mazda CX-5 makes the perfect back-to-school vehicle. Modern Mazda is highlighting its best features, from its advanced safety features to its driver-focused cabin.

Driver-Centric Cockpit

Whether you’re looking for a new vehicle for all those school drop-offs, or you need something safe for your new driver, the 2026 Mazda CX-5 is ideal. It has a driver-focused cabin, offered with an available 15.6-inch touchscreen, which is the largest that Mazda has offered yet. The customizable screen features Google built-in capabilities, giving you convenient features such as Google Maps and Google Gemini, Google’s AI assistant.

Supremely Safe

You can never be too safe when it comes to your family. Past Mazda CX-5 models have earned top marks from the IIHS, so you can rest assured that the 2026 Mazda CX-5 will keep you well-protected. Its proactive safety features include Automated Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning and Lane-Keeping Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, and more.

Versatile Cabin

Five people can ride comfortably in the compact SUV. It’s now even bigger than before, 4.5 inches longer and over half an inch wider, which equates to extra headroom, knee room, and rear legroom. It features larger door openings, so it’s easier to load up car seats, instruments, or luggage. It also has a larger cargo area, which is almost two inches longer, an inch higher, and includes a lower lift-in height.
