    Official 2026 Mazda CX-5 Pics and Details Released

    My guess is that the CX-5 is more expensive to manufacturer than Mazda3, CX-30, and CX-50.

    Upgrade from '23 PP to a '25 PP - Any advantage?

    If people want a more cargo space and rear seat leg room isn't that why Mazda has offered the CX-7, CX-9, CX 70, CX-90 etc...? Meanwhile the CX-5 has been a top selling vehicle primarily because it handles great and is not too big.

    Observations Comparing My 2016 and 2019 CX-5

    Observations Comparing My 2016 and 2019 CX-5

    Currently I drive a 2024 CX-5 Select w/17" wheels and my son has a 2025 CX-5 Premium with 19" wheels. I prefer the handling w/17" wheels. The best handling CX-5's of all I think were the prior generation FWD's w/17" wheels.

    Observations Comparing My 2016 and 2019 CX-5

    We had 2016 and 2019 CX-5's. I preferred the handling of the 17" 2016 wheels more so than the 19" wheels of the 2019. Also, the firmer-harder seating in the 2016 model vs the releatively soft seats of the 2019 model.

    2025 CX-5 vs New 2026 model!?

    I drove a CX-50 and was astonished at how poorly it handled compared to the CX-5. For me the CX-50 suspension felt soft and floaty compared to the relatively firm suspension of the CX-5. So, different strokes for different folks.

    2025 CX-5 vs New 2026 model!?

    The CX-5 for the the past 13 years has been produced on a platform designed especially for the CX-5. In contrast, the Mazda 3, CX-30 and CX-50 share the same platform, which diminishes the handling dynamics of those vehicles.

    2025 CX-5 vs New 2026 model!?

    During the past 10 years my family has owned seven CX-5's of various colors and trim levels. For the 2026 model I am disappointed that Mazda lengthened its size, because my assumption is that CX-5's sporty handling and maneuverability will be diminished. Considering that Mazda offers its CX-70...

    Mazda teasing all new 2026 CX-5!

    Mazda considers the CX-5 to be a compact SUV. The shorter height models such as CX3 and CX30 Mazda defines as crossover vehicles (a cross between a sedan and an SUV).

    Mazda teasing all new 2026 CX-5!

    The CX-5 is not a crssover, it is a small SUV. The CX-30 is a crossover vehicle. I believe a vertical height of between a sedan and SUV is what commonly is used to define a crossover.

    2021 CX-5 Wheel downsizing

    From 2015 my family has owned seven different CX-5 models, of varying trim levels and wheel sizes. For driving and handling my preference is the 17" wheel size rather than the 19" wheel size.

    Are my seats leather and how to clean?

    I like Gyeon cleaner , a foam product which is especially good for perforated leather and, or leatherette seats. Next, Gyeon Leather Coat protects the seating and adds a bit of slippery to the touch feel so that the seats are easier to clean. Here is a link to a set that includes bnoth the...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Over the past 10 years my family has purchased seven CX-5's and always done the first oil change at 5,000 miles. The motor seems to break-in and run at its best at approximately 10,000 miles.

    Mazda CEO says American drivers want ICE vehicles

    I believe that for the USA market Mazda could have good sales from a compact model 2 door hatchback. For example a car a bit larger than the Mazda 2 and a bit smaller than the Mazda 3.
