2026 Mazda CX-5: A Familiar Favourite That Still Feels Fresh
February 09 2026,
The 2026 Mazda CX-5 isn't just an update; it's a statement of intent with a significantly longer wheelbase and a cabin that prioritizes your peace of mind. From the wider door openings that make loading family gear effortless to the "Kigumi" inspired craftsmanship on the dash, every inch of this SUV has been polished to feel less like a car and more like a tailored extension of yourself.

Confident Power with Standard All-Wheel Drive

Under the hood, the 2026 Mazda CX-5 offers a 2.5-litre SKYACTIV-G four-cylinder engine that delivers 187 horsepower, giving it smooth and responsive acceleration for city driving and highway cruising. For drivers looking for extra punch, an available 2.5L turbocharged engine offers significantly more torque, especially useful for passing and merging. Every 2026 Mazda CX-5 in Canada comes with standard i-ACTIV all-wheel drive, which is a big plus when road conditions change throughout the year.
Safety Systems That Work Quietly in the Background
Mazda’s i-ACTIVSENSE safety suite comes standard on the 2026 Mazda CX-5, and it covers the essentials without feeling intrusive. Features like Smart City Brake Support, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Lane Keep Assist are designed to step in only when needed. Available Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop and Go adds extra confidence during highway driving and traffic-heavy commutes.
Interior Comfort with an Upscale Feel

Inside, the 2026 Mazda CX-5 leans toward a more premium experience than most compact SUVs. The cabin is driver-focused, with thoughtful materials and a layout that feels intentional rather than cluttered. Available leather-trimmed seating, heated front and rear seats, and a heated steering wheel make a noticeable difference during colder months. The seating position is comfortable for longer drives, and rear passengers still get plenty of space.
Infotainment That Stays Simple
Mazda keeps things intuitive with the Mazda Connect infotainment system, displayed on a 10.25-inch centre screen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, allowing easy smartphone integration without unnecessary menus. Physical controls remain part of the setup, which many drivers still appreciate for ease of use while driving.
