All-New Mazda CX-5 Makes Bold European Debut Ahead of 2026 Global Rollout

Hiroshima, Japan — July 10, 2025: Mazda Motor Corporation has officially unveiled the all-new Mazda CX-5 crossover SUV in Europe, marking the debut of the third-generation model of one of Mazda’s most successful and best-selling vehicles. First launched in 2012, the Mazda CX-5 was the pioneer of the brand’s “KODO – Soul of Motion” design philosophy and SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY, and has since sold over 4.5 million units globally.

A New Era for Mazda’s Flagship SUV

With the launch of the 2026 Mazda CX-5, Mazda continues to build on its core values of driving enjoyment and design excellence. The new CX-5 is developed under the concept of “New Generation Emotional Daily Comfort”, aimed at enhancing every aspect of the customer experience — from aesthetics and technology to practicality and safety.

This third-generation CX-5 has been refined to deliver both emotional excitement and daily functionality, incorporating:

• Refreshed Soul of Motion exterior styling
• Enhanced Jinba-Ittai driving feel – seamless connection between car and driver
• Improved cabin space and ride comfort
• Quieter driving experience
• Advanced safety systems (ADAS)
• New Human-Machine Interface (HMI) for intuitive control
• Expanded infotainment with integrated apps

Whether navigating urban streets, handling school runs, or going on weekend getaways, the new CX-5 adapts to every need, offering a well-rounded blend of performance, comfort, and tech.

Sustainability and Performance in Harmony

The European-spec 2026 Mazda CX-5 features the e-SKYACTIV G 2.5L petrol engine with Mazda’s M Hybrid system, paired with a 6-speed SKYACTIV-Drive automatic transmission. This mild hybrid setup not only boosts fuel efficiency but ensures a smooth and responsive driving experience — perfectly suited for the eco-conscious modern driver.

Mazda also hinted at introducing the all-new SKYACTIV-Z combustion engine technology, paired with a unique hybrid system, by 2027. This signals Mazda’s continued commitment to refining internal combustion while expanding electrification options.

When Will It Arrive in the UAE?

While the European launch is scheduled for late 2025, the new Mazda CX-5 is expected to arrive in UAE showrooms and other global markets during 2026. This makes it the perfect time for Dubai drivers to consider trading in their current vehicle or exploring the market for a stylish, feature-rich SUV designed for the region’s urban and leisure lifestyles.

Mazda’s Vision: Joy of Driving, Joy of Living

With this latest iteration of the CX-5, Mazda continues to reinforce its "Radically Human" brand identity — blending dynamic design, intuitive technologies, and emotional connection into every vehicle. By focusing on the “Joy of Driving”, Mazda aims to deliver a deeper “Joy of Living” to drivers worldwide.
