Those wheels look like they stick out further than usual. Have they been shimmed?

No tax?

Using thinner sheet metal is only one of many ways to shed weight from a complicated steel body structure. Use of high strength steel and modifying stamping and casting methods are examples of others.

From a 7/10/25 press release: "The 2026 CX-5 showcases the latest evolution of Kodo design, which works off a familiar silhouette that clearly communicates that this is a CX-5, while also optimizing proportions to create a more spacious cabin and exterior look that telegraphs the vehicles’...

What; because of a longer back door?

I believe it's mandatory here in Calif. But then everything is!🤬

You don't understand adding 4" to the wheelbase to create a usable back seat? I've owned 2 of these things (2013 and 2023) and that's been my primary complaint with both. It's high time Mazda corrected this mistake!

What does your owners' manual say?

No; those are black and smaller diameter.

Found the answer; good ol' Google AI says: "New 20-Inch Silver Alloy Wheels: A new 20-inch silver, machine-finished alloy wheel is now available on higher trims (such as the 2.5 S Premium and Turbo models) when selecting the new White Interior Option." I don't know about you guys, but I'm...

This morning I was at a Mazda dealer for service and was looking at 2026 CX-50s. I noticed there was a different 20" rim on some of the cars but couldn't determine which trim level(s) it applied to and there was no one around to ask. This is not the wheel currently shown on the web site and...

Pls post picture of bumper topper and comment on fit/quality.

And the interior space is much more usable than previous models!!

This is a common problem when you let "someone else" do the install. Common solution is to get a piece of door edge molding and install it over the rough cut edge.

Have always been glad I don't have to put up with that kind of crap. It truly makes a car a "consumable" item. There's got to be a better way!

What does Mazda recommend for the turbo?

I once had a problem syncing the remote to the opener because I was trying to do it with the car sitting under neath it in the garage. Once I moved it out of the garage, it worked fine. Just a thought.

It's Mazda hi-moly oil, developed for them by Idemitsu. Great stuff! Pricey, but it's all I've ever used in three Skyactiv G engines.

Having owned two CX-5s (2013 and 2023), from my POV the main reason to wait for the redesign is the longer wheelbase which translates into more cargo space and (more importantly) more rear seat legroom. The latter of which has always been an aggravating CX-5 shortcoming.
