    Official 2026 Mazda CX-5 Pics and Details Released

    Interesting. Maybe on lower end models, but the Telluride has very solid doors. Easily equal if not better than the '21 I CX-5 I had.

    Battery drain due to ventilated seats (2019-2022 CX-5)

    They show a "Used- Like New" unit available for $70 so you still get a deal....

    Toyota was involved in the 1st gen CX-9? I thought it was a Ford/Mazda only. In a quick look online (wikipedia), I see nothing mentioning Toyota involvement.

    I don't think the same would be said for Kia/Hyundai.... Lots of niceties for the money.

    Others I might suggest, if you like hybrids, are the Kia/Hyundai twins Sportage/Tuscon in the hybrid trims. They come close to the power of the CX-5 2.5T and provide better economy at the same time.

    Official 2026 Mazda CX-5 Pics and Details Released

    Yep, the previous gen Outback had a giant tablet like the new CX-5. They realized it wasn't a great idea and went back to a smaller screen with physical controls. I am shocked and dismayed Mazda decided to go all in on the huge screen with almost no physical controls. Opposite of what they...

    An unwise move IMHO. Sure, offer an electric variant if you like, but at least offer a hybrid (which is what Toyota does best).

    Official 2026 Mazda CX-5 Pics and Details Released

    Huge mistake if that is how it is (having to go into the touchscreen to disable every time you drive).

    Official 2026 Mazda CX-5 Pics and Details Released

    It's pretty lame there are no upgraded versions available at launch. I think they should have waited to release until a new powertrain was available. An extra 150 lbs with no increase in power? Nope....

    Official 2026 Mazda CX-5 Pics and Details Released

    Neat video. I like the looks; it just needs a better drivetrain and a smaller touchscreen with physical controls, IMHO....

    Official 2026 Mazda CX-5 Pics and Details Released

    Looks like they are using the base CX-70/90's front rotors. Just like they did with the CX-9's front rotors for the Turbo model from 19-25. Makes sense as they don't have anything else using the old 12.6" rotors so why not upgrade to 12.9" and use something from the current parts bin.

    Official 2026 Mazda CX-5 Pics and Details Released

    I should hope so. The turbo got the CX-9 front brakes. Maybe they will go with CX-70/90 brakes for the hybrid....

    DIY Mazda Firmware Update Information

    That isn't what we do in this thread. This is for the latest firmware. It isn't to ask for workarounds to enable the touchscreen as that would be a custom job.

    Nope- all CX-5 for the US market are built in Hiroshima, Japan.

    That is a surprising list. I rarely see that many visits on a car so far into its run.

    Our 21 had no issues in 37k other than warped front rotors.

    2017~2025 CX-5 Starter Motor question

    Why do you ask? Is the starter for a 2.5T different from the NA? I wouldn't think so. Not an issue I have heard of commonly on the forum.

    Kia already did that with the Telluride (skipped 26 and called it a 27). It will be at dealers around the same time as the CX-5. Makes no sense to me considering we just started 2026.
