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.

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

Looks like whatever market those are being made for is getting a mild-hybrid version

It would look so much better without all of that shiny black plastic, which makes it look cheap to my eyes. In addition to the loss of the physical buttons on the interior there is more hard plastic in places that were previously soft-touch… another example of cost cutting which makes this new model feel a step down from the 2017-2025 version.
