PARIS: The new Mazda CX-5, which will reach European showrooms from December 2025, is the first model to adopt Mazda E/E Architecture+ (Mazda EEA+).
The new CX-5 advances Mazda’s Kodo design with a more confident stance and improved proportions, and it is powered by the 2.5-litre e-Skyactiv G petrol engine with Mazda M Hybrid technology.
Mazda EEA+ brings together the vehicle’s electronic control units, software layers, communication networks, and the external servers that support the car’s digital functions.
This advanced platform forms the basis of the new CX-5’s reimagined human-machine interface (HMI) and connectivity capabilities and it enables over-the-air (OTA) feature updates as well as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
There's a new integrated touch display – available in 12.9- or 15.6-inch sizes, with customisable smartphone-style interaction.
Meanwhile, core controls follow a safety-first logic: physical buttons remain for essential functions with frequently used features are positioned higher and permanent visible, reducing eye movement.
All models come with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a head-up display display that is larger than before.
Capacitive steering wheel switches consolidate key functions like the 360-degree view and Mi-Drive, while still allowing traditional press rocker use.
Voice recognition further enables full control without removing hands from the wheel.
With Google built-in standard for the first time in a Mazda, the new CX-5 launches with Google Assistant and will later be updated to Google Gemini, the AI assistant from Google.
Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, the MyMazda app, and an available 12-speaker Bose premium audio system elevate the in-car digital experience.
