The 2026 Mazda CX-5 is one of the most well-rounded SUVs on the market, in a completely unique way. With standard all-wheel drive, award-winning safety features, the most advanced technology the brand has released, a compact footprint, and signature human-centric design, the 2026 Mazda CX-5 sets a high bar in every category. This popular crossover continues to be one of Mazda's most recognized nameplates, and it’s perfect for keeping up with the vivacious drivers of Ellisville, Missouri.
Human-Centric Design
The 2026 Mazda CX-5 is built around you and your needs, starting with the premium cabin focused on supportive comfort and ease of use. It’s beyond just sumptuous materials—though with standard leather-wrapped shift knobs, soft-touch surfaces, and available leather seating, they are ample. It comes down to how you interact with your vehicle as well. Choose in the moment between using the touchscreen, voice commands, or steering wheel-mounted controls, whatever suits your driving experience. The CX-5 offers up to a 15.6” touchscreen, the largest the brand has ever offered, and it’s equipped with Google Built-in—the first Mazda to get it, actually. This lets you access real-time navigation, make hands-free calls and messages, download apps and playlists with Google Play, and do everything from setting reminders to scheduling service with Google Assistant. Your phone isn’t required, though wireless smartphone compatibility is also included.
The 10.25” digital gauge is created to be used, not just to be there. This reconfigurable display puts the information you need, set up how you want, on a separate screen that doesn’t detract from the infotainment experience. So your speed, fuel level, and safety alerts are all in one place. Mazda has put real effort into making every drive feel intentional, including the placement of controls to the quality of materials throughout the interior.
Performance and Efficiency
The 2026 Mazda CX-5 is powered by a 2.5L engine that delivers a zesty 187 hp and 186 lbs.-ft. of torque. That balanced output is paired with standard i-ACTIV AWD® (all-wheel drive), giving you superior grip in any road conditions and on light trails. Off-Road mode and Sport mode let you tailor performance to the road—or path—ahead, adjusting driving dynamics to suit the scenario. On top of this, the 2026 CX-5 provides an impressive 26 MPG combined, making it an excellent choice for commuting and frequent driving.
Safety That Leads the Industry
Safety is a seriously strong point in the 2026 Mazda CX-5. Mazda was named the Safest New-Car Brand by Consumer Reports, and the brand has led the industry in IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ awards for the 3rd consecutive year. Every CX-5 boasts a long list of alert systems, pre-collision systems that can actively steer and brake in the face of an accident, and awareness features that can notify you of things like speed changes and even if your attention begins to drift. Forward Turn-Across Traffic Braking, for instance, can stop when you’re turning across an intersection and a collision seems imminent. Road Keep Assist alerts you if you begin to drift and can steer you back between the lines. Head-On Traffic Collision Avoidance and Rear Crossing Smart Brake Support cover you at both the front and back. With many more available features to protect you, your family drives, stop-and-go traffic, and busy runs around town are a lot easier.
