2026 MAZDA CX-5: Redesigned for Everyday Confidence

The 2026 Mazda CX-5 brings a re-engineered platform and a calmer, more thoughtfully designed cabin to one of Mazda's most popular SUVs. Built to adapt to the diverse needs of everyday life, this compact SUV pairs spirited performance with a noticeably larger footprint than the previous generation. The team at Hamden Mazda is excited to introduce drivers to everything the redesigned Mazda CX-5 has to offer.

Performance Features

The 2026 Mazda CX-5 is powered by a 2.5-liter SKYACTIV®-G four-cylinder engine producing 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque, paired with a SKYACTIV®-Drive six-speed automatic transmission. Standard i-Activ AWD® is available across the lineup, delivering confident traction and the connected, engaging handling Mazda drivers expect.

Beyond the powertrain, a 4.5-inch longer wheelbase improves ride comfort over rough roads and adds stability at higher speeds, a meaningful upgrade for daily commuting and longer trips alike.

Safety Features

Every 2026 Mazda CX-5 comes equipped with an enhanced i-Activsense® safety suite as standard. Key safety features include Blind Spot Monitoring, Smart Brake Support with automatic emergency braking, and Lane Keep Assist, all working together to support confident driving in a wide range of conditions. This new Mazda SUV also benefits from improved low-speed driver assistance technology, designed to enhance everyday driving confidence in traffic, parking, and tight city streets.

Technology Features

Inside, the 2026 Mazda CX-5 introduces a 12.9-inch or available 15.6-inch touchscreen integrated with Google built-in, allowing drivers to interact through touch, voice, or steering wheel controls. Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity come standard, keeping drivers connected without a wired setup.

 A 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster and an available Active Driving Display® round out a technology suite designed to keep information accessible without becoming a distraction.
