EXTERIOR

  • Navy Blue Mica
  • Machine Grey Metallic
  • Polymetal Grey
  • Aero Grey Metallic
  • Soul Red Crystal Metal

ALLOY WHEELS

INTERIOR

INTUITIVE DESIGN

The 2026 Mazda CX-5 is designed to keep everyone on board comfortable, relaxed, and feeling like they made an excellent life decision. With an easy-to-use interior built around real-world usability, every control is right where you expect it—because fumbling around while driving is not classy. The stress-free, driver-focused cockpit creates a refined and confident driving environment that proudly celebrates driving the way only Mazda can. Thoughtfully centred around the driver, the all-new CX-5 delivers an intuitive layout that feels purposeful, engaging, and unmistakably true to Mazda’s design philosophy.

ROOMINESS

A large panoramic sunroof floods the cabin with light and fresh air, while ambient lighting sets the mood just right. Add in spacious rear seating that lets passengers truly stretch out and relax, and you have an interior that makes every ride feel less like a commute and more like an occasion.

PERFORMANCE

EFFICIENCY AT ITS FINEST

The 2026 Mazda CX-5 comes standard with a Skyactiv-G 2.5L engine, producing a confident 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque—delivering smooth, responsive power that says, “Yes, I merge decisively,” without ever needing to shout about it.

i-ACTIV ALL-WHEEL DRIVE

The 2026 Mazda CX-5 comes standard with i-Activ AWD, delivering enhanced traction, sharper handling, and driving dynamics that remain composed even when winter decides to be dramatic. Whether facing snow, ice, or roads that clearly did not consult a weather forecast, this intelligent AWD system helps keep every drive confident, controlled, and unmistakably Mazda.

TECHNOLOGY

HMI (HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACE)

Staying true to Mazda’s commitment to safe, stress-free driving, the all-new 2026 CX-5 takes its human-centric design philosophy to the next level—because complicated technology is for people who enjoy unnecessary stress. The intuitive Human-Machine Interface (HMI) is designed to be refreshingly easy to use, highlighted by a large 15.6-inch touchscreen center display that everyone on board can admire (and agree looks fantastic). With voice control and thoughtfully consolidated switches, the CX-5’s cockpit keeps everything simple, logical, and right where you expect it—allowing drivers to focus on the road, not a user manual.

GOOGLE BUILT-IN

The all-new Mazda CX-5 comes equipped with Google built-in, elevating the in-cabin experience with seamless access to smart, intuitive digital functionality. Drivers can enjoy familiar Google services optimized specifically for life on the road, including Google Assistant for hands-free help, Google Maps for confident navigation, and a wide selection of apps available through Google Play—because asking your car for directions should feel effortless, not dramatic.

SAFETY

PRIVATE eCALL

The 2026 Mazda CX-5 introduces Private eCall, a reassuring safety feature that calmly steps in when things take an unexpected turn. In the event of an accident or driver impairment, the vehicle can automatically place a private emergency call, connecting occupants to a specialized call centre ready to summon police, fire, or ambulance services—because that is not the time to be figuring things out yourself. Prefer to take charge? A press of the in-vehicle SOS button does the job. Private eCall is included with a one-year trial on compatible vehicles, after which a subscription is required to keep this quiet hero on duty.
