The 2026 MAZDA CX-5: Driving Joy, Redefined


When an automaker's top-selling model gets a redesign, you know you're in for something special. We're speaking about the 2026 Mazda CX-5, the mega-popular compact SUV which this year is 4.5 inches longer, offers the Mazda brand's largest-ever touchscreen of 15.6 inches, and boasts refreshed styling with a bolder look and a stronger connection to equally esteemed models like the Mazda CX-90. Get the full picture, up close at Colonial Mazda.

Performance

Powering this new Mazda SUV is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. It matches with a six-speed automatic transmission and the Mazda brand's i-ACTIV AWD® system, a combination that ensures great fuel economy and strong all-season performance. Moreover, the entire powertrain has been recalibrated this year for increased flexibility, with the result being faster response and an even more comfortable ride.

Infotainment

The fact that the 2026 Mazda CX-5 is 4.5 inches longer and a half-inch wider than the previous model means more space for your legs and head - and, of course, for your favorite infotainment features, too.

This brings us to one of this redesigned SUV's most impressive additions: an available 15.6-inch integrated touchscreen display that's the largest ever offered on a Mazda model. The new command center hosts a variety of top-level infotainment features, including Google built-inâ„¢ and apps such as Google Mapsâ„¢ and Google Playâ„¢. Moreover, you'll be able to use in-car Google Geminiâ„¢, the company's cutting-edge AI assistant, as soon as it goes online.

Safety

Safety is another area where the 2026 Mazda CX-5 excels. Building on a tradition of IIHS Top Safety Pick awards and NHTSA perfect five-star overall ratings, this redesigned SUV features the acclaimed i-Activsense® suite of driver assistance systems.

 A test drive with a Danbury, CT Mazda dealer will introduce safety features such as Lane-Departure Warning, Blind-Spot Warning with Rear Cross-Traffic Warning, and Forward Collision Warning with Automatic Braking.
