#MAZDA #CX5 #2026 #SKYACTIV Mazda's redesigned CX-5 is almost here. Now that we know much about it, I have gathered my thoughts on what Mazda needed to do...and didn't. How does it compare to the new 2026 #toyota #rav4 This third-generation model builds upon an important name for Mazda. Since its debut in 2012, CX-5 has showcased key values and aspects of Mazda’s identity, like SkyActiv technology and Kodo design, to many customers. With over 1.6 million CX-5 models sold in the United States and 4.5 million sold globally in that time, its success is undeniable. Now, the all-new 2026 Mazda CX-5 builds upon its proven foundation with a more spacious cabin that features innovative, intuitive technology, while also enhancing vehicle safety to craft an SUV that is more capable, engaging, and desirable than ever before. The 2026 CX-5 will launch with a 2.5-liter SkyActiv-G four-cylinder engine which produces 187 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with a 6- speed automatic transmission and standard i-Activ AWD. The 2.5 S powertrain package has proven itself as a popular, reliable offering from Mazda, and this latest iteration has been recalibrated for greater flexibility, with an emphasis on offering both sharper response and also a more relaxed, quiet demeanor, based on how the vehicle is driven. An electrified alternative is also coming, as CX-5 will debut a new hybrid powertrain to the Mazda family in 2027. The new SkyActiv-Z engine will feature Mazda Hybrid System technology to offer a higher level of performance and fuel efficiency along with the engaging drive that our customers expect.
