The 2026 Mazda CX-5 has just been revealed, ushering Mazda’s best-selling crossover into its third generation. Buyers who were craving more space and improved technology will be thrilled by this new model, but current owners who wanted a power increase may feel left in the cold. At launch, the CX-5 will be powered exclusively by a carryover 2.5-liter SkyActiv-G four-cylinder, outputting the same 187 horsepower and 185 pound-feet of torque as the outgoing model, still through a six-speed automatic transmission. A CX-5 Hybrid will join the lineup in 2027, but few details are currently known about this powertrain.
