The cargo area is nearly two inches longer and over an inch higher, while the lift-in height has been lowered by more than half an inch for easier loading. Rear door openings are larger for easier access, and passengers in the back enjoy more headroom, knee room, and legroom.

Mazda’s Kodo design philosophy evolves for 2026 with a bolder front fascia, sharper LED lighting, and a wide new grille framed by the brand’s Signature Wing design. The rear end features a new MAZDA wordmark across the liftgate, emphasizing a clean and modern finish.

Inside, the new Mazda CX-5 features improved materials, a more open feel, and a cleaner layout. Ambient lighting is available in the front doors with a choice of seven colors.
