What's New in the 2026 Redesign?
The 2026 Mazda CX-5 keeps the same sense of flowing style. Sculpted body lines help it present an aerodynamic design, creating a vehicle that looks purposeful from every angle. LED lighting also provides extra visibility while adding a modern touch to the front and rear styling. And if you're looking for space? The new model offers a big redesign with a longer and wider chassis that's more spacious and comfortable. That adds up to a new model with more legroom and headroom for rear-seat passengers and a larger rear cargo area to hold my groceries, gear, and goods.
The new model will also come available in five unique trim levels:
- New Mazda CX-5 Base
- New Mazda CX-5 Select
- New Mazda CX-5 Preffered
- New Mazda CX-5 Premium
- New Mazda CX-5 Premium Plus
These new models will come packed with a wealth of great features, many of which are refined and improved for 2026. Drivers who invest in the 2026 Mazda CX-5 will enjoy a refreshed and improved infotainment system, complete with an available 15.6-inch touchscreen, standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a suite of Google-based infotainment technology.
Drivers looking for advanced safety technology will find standard options including automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warnings, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assistance, among others.
And if you're worried about performance? Don't be! The 2026 Mazda CX-5 will come equipped with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder powertrain capable of 187 horsepower. Drivers hoping for more will also find an optional 2.5-liter turbocharged powertrain available, capable of 256 horsepower. If rough roads and weather conditions are a concern, you'll also find all-wheel drive as an available upgrade. It doesn't matter where you're going or what the road throws at you, you'll find the Mazda CX-5 ready to handle all your needs.
