Mazda CX-5 third-generation global rollout and updates

Overview

The third-generation Mazda CX-5, launched globally in 2026, features a larger silhouette with an extended wheelbase of 2.80 m, providing increased legroom and headroom. The redesign increases cargo capacity to 583 L, expanding to 2,019 L with folded rear seats. Functional improvements include rear doors that open at an 85-degree angle. The model utilizes a 2.5-litre e-Skyactiv G mild-hybrid powertrain producing 141 PS and 24.2 kg·m of torque. Engineering highlights include the i-Activ AWD system, G-Vectoring Control Plus (GVC+), and a reinforced high-tensile steel chassis. Safety performance remains a central feature, with the CX-5 securing the IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ for three consecutive years and maintaining high Euro NCAP and ANCAP ratings. New technologies include ‘Proactive Driving Assist’ and a Driver Emergency Assistance (DEA) system.

Global expansion continues with the model debuting in Malaysia as a fully imported unit, though the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) plans for local assembly (CKD) to begin within 12 to 16 months to integrate local suppliers. The CX-5 has also been introduced in Peru and Australia, with the latter noting the model as Mazda’s third to reach five million cumulative sales. In the United States, the CX-5 drove a 37.8% year-on-year increase in September 2026 SUV sales, remaining the brand’s top seller despite a slight year-to-date decline in total volume.
