The anticipated 2026 Mazda CX-5 is set to be part of the second generation of this beloved compact crossover SUV. While precise details are still under wraps, the CX-5 is expected to continue offering a selection of lively engines, including a base four-cylinder and a turbocharged variant. Previous models delivered horsepower ranging from 187 to 250, and we anticipate similar options. Mazda's signature six-speed automatic transmission will likely be paired with either a front-wheel or all-wheel drivetrain. Typically available in a variety of upscale trims, the CX-5 often includes features such as Mazda's i-Activsense suite of driver aids, an 8" or 10.25" infotainment screen, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. Changes for the 2026 model year will be determined closer to its release.
