Introducing the All-New 2026 CX-5: Smarter, More Spacious, and More Refined Than Ever

The best-selling crossover from Mazda is entering its third generation, and the results are impressive. The all-new 2026 CX-5 builds on its proven reputation with significantly improved interior space, smarter technology, and the refined driving experience that has made it Mazda’s most popular vehicle in Canada.

With a starting MSRP of $36,300 and expected to arrive in March 2026, the new CX-5 continues to set the standard for compact crossovers.

More Space for Passengers and Cargo

One of the most noticeable upgrades to the 2026 CX-5 is its increased size. Now 4.5 inches longer, with most of that added to the wheelbase, the CX-5 delivers improved rear seat comfort and expanded cargo capacity.

This means more legroom for passengers, more flexibility for everyday errands, and more room for gear when adventure calls. Whether it’s your daily commute or a weekend getaway, the CX-5 is designed to adapt to your lifestyle.

Signature Design, Elevated

The new CX-5 retains its familiar silhouette while introducing refined details that emphasize stability and sophistication.

Highlights include:

• Mazda’s Signature Wing grille with striking LED lighting
  
  
• A wider, more planted stance for a confident presence
  
  
• Japanese craftsmanship details inspired by traditional kigumi joinery
  
  
• Available exterior accents and a curated colour palette including Soul Red Crystal, Polymetal Grey Metallic, and new Navy Blue Mica
  
  

Every line and detail reflects Mazda’s commitment to thoughtful design and craftsmanship.

Smarter Technology with Google Built-In and Gemini AI

The 2026 CX-5 introduces an advanced infotainment experience powered by Google built-in technology and Gemini AI assistant functionality.

This allows drivers to use natural voice commands to:

• Access navigation and apps
  
  
• Adjust vehicle settings
  
  
• Control media and climate
  
  
• Stay connected while keeping their hands on the wheel
  
  

Available 12.9-inch or 15.6-inch displays and a modern driver interface create a seamless, smartphone-like experience that enhances both convenience and safety.

Performance That Inspires Confidence

Under the hood, the CX-5 features Mazda’s proven SkyActiv-G 2.5-litre engine, producing 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque, paired with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission and standard i-Activ all-wheel drive.

Drivers can also select from multiple drive modes using Mazda Intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive), including:

• Normal Mode for everyday driving
  
  
• Sport Mode for enhanced responsiveness
  
  
• Off-Road Mode for challenging conditions
  
  

Combined with updated suspension, improved handling, and advanced traction control, the CX-5 delivers a balanced, confident drive in all conditions.

Advanced Safety Comes Standard

Mazda continues its strong commitment to safety with a comprehensive suite of standard driver assistance features, including:

• Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Speed Limit Assist
  
  
• Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Traffic Alert
  
  
• Smart Brake Support and Turning-Across Path alert
  
  
• Emergency Lane Keeping Assist
  
  
• Driver Attention Alert
  
  
• Parking sensors and rearview camera with dynamic guidelines
  
  

These systems work together to enhance awareness, confidence, and peace of mind behind the wheel.

Arriving March 2026

With more space, smarter technology, refined performance, and thoughtful design throughout, the all-new 2026 CX-5 represents the next evolution of Mazda’s most trusted crossover.

Starting at $36,300 MSRP and arriving at the end of March 2026, the CX-5 is ready to continue its legacy as one of Canada’s favourite crossovers.
