Overview
The CX-5 gets a complete redesign for 2026, growing in every dimension with a new 15.6-inch Google-powered touchscreen and design cues from the larger CX-70 and CX-90. Standard AWD across the lineup eliminates drivetrain guesswork. The lack of a hybrid at launch is the CX-5's biggest competitive weakness — it's expected for 2027 with Mazda's first in-house hybrid system.
