LOL. I myself was questioning it being a real photo. The slope of the roofline towards the rear is much greater on this image than what we saw from the camouflaged photos.

The roofline is less sloped towards the rear. The rear profile looks more like the CX70/90.

I could see Mazda sell the CX-50 mainly as a hybrid at a $1-2k premium over the current price. Then they could introduce the new CX-5 as a premium CUV as it likely has an 8sp auto and multi-link suspension. I don’t think we will see a base CX-5 due to the tariff. The Mazda interview mentioned...

Mazda’s CFO made it clear from this vehicle they want to ramp up CX-50 production for the US by not exporting it to Canada and Mexico. Here in Canada they will just sell more CX-5s since we don’t have the Tariff...

Here is a new video of the 2026 CX-5 showing it from different angles.

Mazda may delay the new CX-5 in the US until the tariff situation is resolved, with the US ramping up more production the the CX-50. An interview this week with Mazda’s CFO mentioned that they may stop selling the CX-50 in Canada and Mexico to help support this. That would help with the...

The Skyactiv-Z hybrid will not be available in the CX-5 until 2027. The presentation found in the press release mentioned it will be based on the 2.5l. https://newsroom.mazda.com/en/publicity/release/2025/202503/250318a.html To be introduced in combination with Mazda's proprietary hybrid...

You can get an idea from the closeup from this image.

Some more clearer images of the next gen CX-5. It looks like it will have the steering wheel and larger screen from the CX-60/90 https://www.carscoops.com/2025/03/2026-mazda-cx-5-after-9-years-a-new-model-is-coming-with-big-changes-in-tow/

The same 2e, 3e and 5e were trademarked in Japan as well. All at the same time but separate from the 6e trademark.

What I found interesting is that they did not register a trademark for the CX-30e. I wonder if they are considering repositioning the CX-30, enlarging it somewhat to become a variant of the CX-5. Possibly a more sloped CX-5. This is just total speculation on my part.

The comment from Mazda Australia did not confirm a name change, only that they don’t know what the replacement will be called. Mazda has registered in Europe this week new trademarks and it looks like the CX-5 name will continue.
