The Redesigned 2026 MAZDA CX-5: Bigger, Bolder, Safer
What can you expect from the redesigned 2026 Mazda CX-5? Nothing less than bolder styling, a bigger cabin, and more innovative technology, including the Mazda brand’s largest touchscreen. There are more gems to discover in this exceptional compact SUV, and The Autobarn Mazda of Evanston is the place to find them.
Performance
Under its hood, the 2026 Mazda CX-5 features a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that outputs 187 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque. This power plant, as well as the six-speed automatic transmission it pairs with, have been retuned for increased responsiveness and smoothness.
Also standard is the Mazda brand’s i-Activ AWD®. This powertrain perfectly complements the larger footprint of this new Mazda SUV, which is not only a half-inch wider but also 4.5 inches longer in overall length and wheelbase than the previous model.
Infotainment
Ever since this SUV’s debut in 2012, its cabin has been the paradigm of comfort and sophistication. The 2026 Mazda CX-5 further extends the appeal with a newly available 15.6-inch touchscreen – the largest ever in a Mazda vehicle. It’s powered by Google built-in, which includes popular apps such as Google Maps™ and the Google Play Store™.
Moreover, Google Gemini™, a next-gen AI assistant, will arrive soon for the 2026 Mazda CX-5. Look for it to be available via the SUV’s over-the-air updates system.
Safety
Mazda USA has a rich legacy of excellence in safety and driver assistance technology. In fact, almost every model at our Evanston, IL, Mazda dealership is an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award winner. The i-Activsense® suite of driver assistance systems plays a huge role here, and the 2026 Mazda CX-5 continues the trend. It boasts leading-edge standard safety features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, which maintains a driver-set distance between your vehicle and the one ahead, and Blind-Spot Warning, which helps facilitate safe lane changes.
