2026 Mazda CX-5

Explore the All-New Mazda CX-5 at Mazda of Corpus Christi

Mazda's best-selling model in the U.S. just entered its third generation, and it's a genuine redesign rather than a styling refresh. The new CX-5 keeps a familiar silhouette while pushing the Kodo design language forward, and it brings real gains in rear-seat and cargo space that longtime CX-5 owners will notice immediately. Mazda of Corpus Christi is bringing in the all-new lineup for South Texas shoppers who've made the CX-5 their default compact crossover for years.

Greatly Improved Rear Seat and Cargo Space

Mazda's own announcement leads with this change for a reason: the new CX-5 offers noticeably more rear-seat and cargo room than the outgoing model, addressing one of the most common shopper complaints about the prior generation. A longer 110-inch wheelbase underpins that gain, along with a more upright rear roofline.

Google Built-In With Gemini AI Voice Assistance

The new CX-5 introduces Google Built-in technology with Gemini AI assistant functionality, allowing robust hands-free voice control so the driver can stay focused on the road. It's a meaningful step up from a traditional infotainment voice command system, closer to how people already talk to their phones.

A Proven 2.5-Liter Engine With New Chassis Refinements

At launch, the CX-5 is powered by Mazda's Skyactiv-G 2.5-liter inline-four, producing 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and standard i-Activ All-Wheel Drive. New shock absorbers and a new wheel and tire setup refine the ride, and the latest G-Vectoring Control Plus now incorporates an electronic brake limited-slip differential to improve traction through corners.

A 12.9-Inch or Available 15.6-Inch Display

Every CX-5 includes a large driver's display and a 12.9-inch center infotainment touchscreen, with a 15.6-inch display available on the range-topping Premium Plus trim. An available head-up display projects key information onto the windshield to keep the driver's eyes up and forward.

A Comprehensive Standard Safety Suite

Every CX-5 comes with Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Speed Limit Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition, Smart Brake Support, Rear Smart Brake Support, Rear Cross Traffic Alert with Pedestrian Detection, Emergency Lane Keeping, Blind Spot Monitoring, Vehicle Exit Warning, and Driver Attention Alert. Front and rear parking sensors and a rearview camera with dynamic lines round out the standard package.

Cruising and Traffic Support With Lane Change Assist on Premium Plus

The top Premium Plus trim adds Cruising and Traffic Support with Lane Change Assist, which automatically changes lanes once the driver signals and it's judged safe to do so. It's paired with a 360 View Monitor, Driver Monitoring, and the Driver Personalization System that first debuted on Mazda's CX-90.

Five Trims From 2.5 S to Premium Plus

The lineup runs from the 2.5 S through Select, Preferred, Premium, and Premium Plus. Each step up adds equipment like heated seats and steering wheel, a power liftgate, leather seating with ventilation, and a 12-speaker Bose audio system, giving shoppers a clear path to more features without changing the core driving experience.
