What Shoppers Typically Want to Know About the 2026 Mazda CX-5

The 2026 Mazda CX-5 arrives with a number of meaningful updates worth understanding before your visit.
Every trim is powered by a SKYACTIV®-G 2.5-liter DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder engine producing
187 horsepower at 6,000 RPM and 186 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Notably, the turbocharged engine option from the previous generation is no longer offered on the
2026 model year. The EPA-estimated fuel economy rating is 24 MPG city, 30 MPG highway, and
26 MPG combined – consistent across all trim levels. i-Activ AWD is standard on every trim.

Inside, the 2026 Mazda CX-5 base trim features a 12.9-inch center touchscreen, while the top
2.5 S Premium Plus trim steps up to a 15.6-inch integrated center touchscreen display.
All trims include a 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster. The 2026 Mazda CX-5 is also the first
Mazda vehicle to feature Google Built-in – including Google Assistant, Google Maps, and access
to Google Play apps – complimentary for one year through a Mazda Connected Services trial
included with every new 2026 Mazda CX-5.

The 2026 Mazda CX-5 has earned a 2026 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ award. Its expanded standard
i-Activsense suite now includes, for the first time across all trims: Rear Automatic Emergency
Braking, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Forward Turn-Across Traffic Braking, Emergency Lane Keeping,
Blind Spot Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition, and Mazda Radar Cruise Control with speed limit assist.
Additional standard features include Blind Spot Monitoring with audible alert, Road Keep Assist,
Head-on Traffic Avoidance, Vehicle Exit Warning, and front and rear parking sensors.

Questions worth bringing to the dealership include: Which of the five trim levels – 2.5 S,
2.5 S Select, 2.5 S Preferred, 2.5 S Premium, or 2.5 S Premium Plus – fits your priorities?
Which interior material appeals to you, such as the available Sports Tan leather? Are features
like the power panoramic moonroof, the Bose 12-speaker surround sound system, or the hands-free
power rear liftgate important for your daily use? Contact the team to confirm which trims are
currently available.
