Mazda CX-5 safety ratings and technical updates

Overview

The third-generation Mazda CX-5, launched globally in 2026, features a larger silhouette with a length of approximately 4.7 m, a width of 1.9 m, and an extended wheelbase of 2.80 m. This redesign increases cargo capacity to 583 L, with up to 2,019 L available with folded rear seats. Functional improvements include rear doors that open at an 85-degree angle to facilitate easier access for passengers and child seats. The model utilizes a 2.5-litre e-Skyactiv G mild-hybrid powertrain producing 141 PS and 24.2 kg·m of torque, opting for a naturally aspirated engine over the industry trend of small turbocharged units. Engineering highlights include the i-Activ AWD system, G-Vectoring Control Plus (GVC+) for cornering stability, and a reinforced high-tensile steel chassis. Safety performance remains a central feature. The CX-5 has secured the IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ for the third consecutive year, demonstrating high performance in occupant protection during frontal and side impact tests, as well as in front collision prevention systems. It also maintains high scores from Euro NCAP, including 93% for vulnerable-road-user protection, and a five-star ANCAP rating. New safety technologies include ‘Proactive Driving Assist’ and a Driver Emergency Assistance (DEA) system designed to detect driver abnormalities and safely decelerate or stop the vehicle. Recent automotive reviews emphasize the vehicle’s focus on comfort and interior space, noting the inclusion of modern technology such as a 12.9-inch touchscreen and a panoramic sunroof. In Malaysia, the CX-5 is scheduled for an official launch on October 8. While initially arriving as a fully imported model, the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) announced plans for local assembly (CKD) to begin within 12 to 16 months, aiming for 60% local content.
