Although I much prefer the physical buttons on the current model, I could live with the new setup, but until Mazda provides the new model with adequate power, I'll pass.
There's really nothing on the 2026s that's better for me; I like the current size, styling, and turbo power, so I'll see what kind of close-outs the dealers are offering on 2025 Signatures later this year.
BTW, is Hiroshima still producing the current model, or have they begun preparing for the switch to the '26s?

In the UK we don't have the turbo anyway so that's not so much of a big deal, but the loss of physical buttons.... that's a definite no.
Was looking forward to the new CX-5 and was likely to have bought one next year but not now. No way. Will keep my 2018 model going for as long as possible. It's at 75,000 miles so relatively young compared to some of the high mileage examples on here!!

If the hybrid system is faster than the turbo as they claim then it is a fair trade imo.
Taking away the physical HVAC controls is bad as well as changing the steering wheel controls if they are capacitive.
Taking a Physical volume/Audio off away is a big no no. There should be one by the screen. My 2015 civic is like this and it sucks.
I don't care they removed the scroll wheel pad though. It works okay most of the time but is annoying when using any type of map application in AA. Also the way it was implemented in the CX-5 meant your elbow was all over everybody's straws when having cups in the cup holders. It was better implemented in the CX-50. I would rather have more center console space/knee space than a control pad.
