Here is a bit more on the Hybrid. https://www.thedrive.com/news/the-new-mazda-cx-5-hybrid-was-delayed-to-avoid-a-repeat-of-the-cx-50 “The Skyactiv Z with our in-house Mazda hybrid development? Well, quite frankly, the technology is still in development and our hope is really to develop a...

A regular hybrid has a much smaller battery than a PHEV vehicle. The battery in a regular hybrid is used mainly for initial propulsion, where the gas engine is least efficient. The hybrid battery also adds to the performance of the vehicle’s engine. The battery is recharged through braking or...

What are you talking about? The CX-5 has no plug-in. This is just a regular hybrid. You must be thinking of the CX-70/90 PHEV.

Mazda already mentioned that the 2.5l hybrid will replace the Turbo and that the hybrid would have same or slightly better performance than the Turbo.

Correct. North America will continue with the existing 187hp 2.5l. Below are some comments from this article, not related to the engine. It is good to see that Mazda asked for input from their driving experience, where the CX-5 could be updated in advance of shipping. We were prepared for...

I used google translate to English.

It looks like a few European auto journalists were able to test drive a camouflaged CX-5 in March of this year, well ahead of the reveal. https://autokult.pl/widzieliscie-nowa-mazde-cx-5-ja-juz-nia-jezdzilem-i-mam-jedna-zla-wiadomosc,7176386730662848a?proxied

Before this week I would say that Mazda would not use a CVT with their hybrid. But after seeing the removal of dials/controls, I can no longer be certain of that.

This was an interesting comment from Mazda. I wonder if Mazda will introduce a new transmission with the Skyactiv-z engine. https://www.thedrive.com/news/why-the-2026-mazda-cx-5-still-uses-an-old-school-six-speed-transmission “The six-speed transmission works really well with our current...

Keep in mind that Mazda went to a softer suspension setup for the 2024 CX-50, along with less heavier steering

This will be the Mazda interior going forward. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/new-mazda-cx-5-gets-fresh-look-and-practicality-boost This new interior set-up, which European design director Jo Stenuit confirmed will be rolled out across the rest of the range in due course, also...

In this German video around 3:40, the Mazda designer mentioned that there is new brighter colour coming, along the same lines as the existing Mazda Soul Red. My guess is that it will be the Indigo Blue that Mazda was showing here...

The base CX5-5 now will have 8 speakers and the Bose system will have 12 speakers. I don't see any midrange speakers in the front doors so I am not sure where the additional speakers are located. https://www.mazda.de/modelle/mazda-cx-5/

There is not point to the existing turbo anymore and they will not design a new turbo with more HP. "The hybrid system will have performance that is comparable to or exceeding the turbo powertrain."

Mazda commented on why they dropped the turbo. https://carbuzz.com/mazda-explains-cx-5-turbo-not-return/ "The hybrid system will have performance that is comparable to or exceeding the turbo powertrain."

This is the first hands-on review. All the comments from the guy on Reddit were correct.

There was another comment on Reddit from a Canadian dealer that mentioned first deliveries are expected in February. So this lines up with Europe getting it first. Canada receiving their allocation before the US also makes sense due to the Tariff situation and also since Canada no longer gets...

Another dealer comment from the US North-East on Reddit. Visited a Mazda dealer this past weekend in the north-east and discussed the upcoming 2026 CX-5 where the sales person mentioned their rep came in a few days ago and mentioned that for the US market (not sure if he said it applies to...

Just don’t tell the owners they are driving a wagon. 😲
