Mazda today unveils the all-new Mazda CX-5 — a bold evolution of its best-selling SUV. Featuring a refined design, intuitive technology, and an optimised 2.5-litre petrol engine, the third-generation CX-5 is crafted to adapt to modern life and will launch across Europe starting in late 2025 at an exceptional value. The all-new Mazda CX-5 retains the iconic shape of its predecessor while advancing Mazda’s Kodo - Soul of Motion design language and integrating the latest Skyactiv technology—first introduced with the original CX-5 in 2012. Connectivity and usability have been elevated through reimagined HMI. The new 12.9- or 15.6-inch center display delivers smartphone-style interaction with customizable menus. For the first time in a Mazda, the all-new CX-5 with Google built-in makes every drive more helpful and connected. A 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and streamlined steering wheel controls help ensure essential information is delivered clearly. Higher grades also include a 12-speaker Bose® sound system. Evolved under the design concept of “Wearable Gear”, the latest iteration presents a sportier, more confident form, suited to both urban and adventurous driving. New proportions and the extended wheelbase enhance road presence, stability and interior and cargo space, increasing overall practicality for daily use. Designed for family life, the all-new CX-5 now has an additional 61 litres of cargo capacity, wider-opening rear doors and a 40:20:40 split-folding bench for extra versatility. The cabin offers a clean, spacious and calming environment crafted with refined materials. A simplified layout that wraps around the entire front contributes to a driver-focused yet family-friendly atmosphere. Key features include a new center console with enhanced storage and – on higher trims – a panoramic sunroof that emphasizes openness. Ambient lighting on the front door trims, exclusive to the top-tier Homura grade, adds to the cabin’s refined and tranquil environment. The all-new CX-5 is offered in four grades – Prime-Line, Centre-Line, Exclusive-Line, and Homura – each with distinct interior finishes and equipment. Interior options include black or tan leather (Homura) and a two-tone black-and-white artificial leather and suede-like finish (Exclusive-Line).
