2026 Mazda CX-5 overview — Mazda’s all-new compact SUV refreshed for the 2026 model year with updated design, standard features, and a simplified powertrain lineup:
The 2026 Mazda CX-5 returns as Mazda’s popular compact SUV with standard all-wheel drive (AWD) and a refined, modern exterior and interior design. It’s larger than before, offering more rear-seat space and cargo room thanks to a longer wheelbase and overall length.
Seating: 5 passengers
Drive: AWD standard
Transmission: 6-speed automatic
Engine: Naturally aspirated 2.5 L inline-4
Engine: 2.5 L Skyactiv-G four-cylinder
Output: ~187 hp and ~185–186 lb-ft torque
Transmission: 6-speed automatic
Drive: Standard i-Activ AWD®
Fuel Type: Regular unleaded
For 2026 Mazda has dropped the turbocharged engine from the CX-5 lineup; Mazda plans a hybrid version for 2027, but 2026 models use just the 2.5 L engine.
According to early MPG guides and estimates for the 2.5 L AWD CX-5:
City: ~24 MPG
Highway: ~30 MPG
Combined: ~26 MPG
These figures are typical for AWD compacts with a naturally aspirated engine; official EPA numbers may appear once final ratings are published.
Fuel Tank: ~14.8 gallons
Estimated Range:
City: ~300–330 miles
Highway: ~380–420 miles
