All-new CX-5 Takes Mazda's Best-Selling Crossover to the Next Level

The updated design offers a bolder look with tie-ins to CX-70 and CX-90. It features innovative technology including Mazda's largest touchscreen with Google built-in and an advanced suite of ADAS features. The CX-5 also offers large gains in rear seat comfort and cargo space.

KODO DESIGN: EVOLVED

The design approach behind the all-new CX-5 was developed around our "Wearable Gear" concept, which is inspired by functional yet stylish clothing that has the right look and fit in a variety of situations. "Wearable Gear" embodies flexibility and approachability, offering a vehicle that is both at home in the city and thrives in more adventurous settings too.

The 2026 CX-5 showcases the latest evolution of Kodo design, which works off a familiar silhouette that clearly communicates that this is a CX-5, while also optimizing proportions to create a more spacious cabin and exterior look that telegraphs the vehicle’s capabilities and sense of stability. The available 19-inch wheels further enhance the CX-5's stance and convey the vehicle's solidity.

A THOUGHTFULLY CRAFTED CABIN FOR ALL PASSENGERS

Inside, the all-new CX-5 provides a calm, yet functional interior. The result is an uncluttered, spacious cabin that is serene and functional all in one, so the driver can focus, and the passengers can stretch out and relax. The door openings are much larger, for easier ingress and egress, especially for things like parents loading in car seats. Similarly, passenger comfort has been enhanced thanks to increased rear leg, knee and headroom. Rear-seat occupants can stretch out their legs comfortably, and an available panoramic sunroof makes the vehicle feel even more open, all improving comfort on long drives and contributing to CX-5's comfort and sense of lightness.

Similarly, the extra size and length of the 2026 CX-5 allows for a notably larger and more useful rear cargo area, which is now almost two inches longer and over an inch higher all with a lower lift-in height that drops over half an inch from its predecessor. All of this allows for easier loading, even with larger items.

INTUITIVE TECHNOLOGY

Technology goes hand in hand with this rethought interior design philosophy. The all-new CX-5 features a new available 15.6-inch integrated touchscreen display, the largest ever offered on a Mazda vehicle. The system is the hub for infotainment and connectivity, offering seamless integration and intuitive operation thanks to smartphone-like usability and a customizable home screen with quick access to frequently used features.

This system comes with Google built-in1, which offers a more connected experience, with the ability to integrate key Google apps and services, like Google Gemini, an AI assistant from Google, which is coming soon to cars with Google built-in and allows owners to take hands-free control of everything that matters on the road. Owners can speak naturally, ask complex questions, and steer the conversation with follow-ups—no need to memorize commands or phrases.
