2026 Mazda CX-5 unveiled in Europe: 2.5-litre petrol/24V mild hybrid


LONDON: The all-new, third-generation Mazda CX-5 features a refined design, intuitive technology, and an optimised 2.5-litre petrol engine.

It retains the iconic shape of its predecessor while advancing Mazda’s Kodo - Soul of Motion design language and integrating the latest Skyactiv technology.

The new 12.9- or 15.6-inch centre display delivers smartphone-style interaction with customisable menus.

For the first time in a Mazda, the CX-5 with Google built-in makes every day driving easier.


A 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and streamlined steering wheel controls help ensure essential information is delivered clearly.

Higher grades also include a 12-speaker Bose sound system.

The all-new CX-5 now has an additional 61 litres of boot space, wider-opening rear doors and a 40:20:40 split-folding bench for extra versatility.

In the cabin, key features include a new centre console with enhanced storage and – on higher trims – a panoramic sunroof.

It is powered by a 2.5-litre e-Skyactiv G 141ps petrol engine, paired with 24V Mazda M Hybrid technology with a brake-by-wire system, replacing the previous 2.0-litre base unit.

Producing 141ps (104kW) and 238Nm of torque, the front-wheel drive variant accelerates from 0-100kph in 10.5 seconds.

Available in FWD and AWD, the all-new CX-5 benefits from chassis and suspension updates, providing enhanced ride comfort and road handling.

Equipped with a comprehensive suite of updated ADAS features, the all-new CX-5 targets a Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating.

The all-new Mazda CX-5 will be available in the UK from summer 2026.
