CX-5 to be 86ed for CX-40?!

I would've thought the "e" would be used to signify EV versions.
It does if the Mazda6e is anything to go by, don’t think anyone is debating that…The trademark info is interesting to note though…Another possibility is that as I mentioned before, they’re covering their bases and registering names that they may not actually use in order to prevent others from doing so…CX-5e could be that or an actual EV CX-5. Additional factors to keep in mind is these are European registrations and the Mazda6e (EZ-6) was co-developed with a Chinese manufacturer…Makes me wonder what this means for a possible CX-5e as well as other “e” models.
 
Don't like the lights at all.
That sleepy-cat look... I can't unsee it! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Everybody is speculating about the new 2026 Mazda CX-5. Here's another one and, I have to say, this exterior, this new facelift, looks better than CX-90! Or at least I like it! A new design with fog lights! Love it!

Big UPDATE from Japan on the 2026 Mazda CX-5 redesign!
Thanks for the heads up...I've been seeing this design surface recently...Hmm, not sure how I feel about it yet, it's definitely intriguing and seems quite sophisiticated...I hope that this is a complete design update and not just what amounts to a front and rear end styling refresh. Love the past two CX-5 gen designs but it's time for a next gen look and I'm excited to see it!
 
At this point, I am more concerned about transmission. Look is fine with me.
There is a rumor that next CX-5 will continue using the current 6-speed.
I hope Mazda wakes up... To me, that is the weakness of current gen.
MPG, that is. 8-speed helps.
 
I guess no-one knows about these spy shots:

Is that the same one referenced in the vid that @ADS-B posted..?

There's an article today on AutoBlog regarding Mazda's near future and spending. It mentions the "next gen" CX-5 getting pushed from '26 to '27 using the SKYACTIVE-Z engine along with their new in-house hybrid.

Yes There have been rumors of an 8 speed for the last few months --hard to say what will actually happen- likely both 6 and 8 speeds However - I have no regrets on buying a 25 CX5 - as its been a good 10 years of engineering and getting the kinks out -- The only other vehicle that beats it in this dept is the Porsche 911 -- changes made cautiously year by year --- then of course if you want a Japanese made CX5 -- prepare to pony up another 25% here soon --still worth the $$
