The compact CX-5 crossover sold maximum in Mazda is about to be redesigned, and a prototype seen for the first time.
The new third generation style will be launched at the end of this year, probably as a 2026 style for the United States, and Mazda showed that he arrived here with at least one hybrid option.
The prototype shows that Mazda adopts an evolutionary technique for the design of the new CX-5. The general form is close to that of the existing model, while the front takes the last corporate flavor of Mazda, as we see recently in the EZ-6 electric sedan introduced last year. A new detail is the design of the headlights, which adopts a detail of the tear.
The existing CX-5 is offered in the United States with the 2. 5-liter selection of 2. 5 liters of 187 horsepower or a turbo-4 of 227 horsepower of 2. 5 liters. It is not transparent which motor train will offer the new generation, apart from a hybrid option.

Mazda last November said that the hybrid motorcycle organization is evolving internally, with battery partners such as Panasonic and AESC, unlike the generation loan in Toyota or Subaru, as in the current CX-50 hybrid that uses a Toyota A toyota hybrid system.
Mazda at that time also discussed a new Skyactiv-Z circle of 4-cylinder engines that is evolved for the launch in 2027. Mazda did not say much about the circle of Skyactiv-Z relatives, apart from their progression with an optimized combustion for “Better environmental functionality and behavior. It is imaginable that one or more of those new Skyactiv-Z engines are coming out in the CX-5, perhaps within the framework of the hybrid motor train.
Mazda also indicated that there would be less characteristics to choose from. The car manufacturer seeks production power through the rationalization of the specifications of its next vehicles.
Mazda sold a record of 424,382 cars in the United States in 2024, as the maximum of them is the CX-5. The arrival of the new style assistance has the impulse.
