Mazda unveils the new generation of the CX-5

Mazda officially unveiled, on July 10, 2025, the new generation of the CX-5, its flagship compact SUV.

This completely redesigned version will be marketed in Europe by Mazda at the end of the year, before being launched in other markets in 2026. It represents a key model for the brand in its commercial strategy and market positioning in Europe.

Introduced in 2012, the CX-5 was the first vehicle to adopt the “KODO – Soul of Motion” design language as well as SKYACTIV technologies, aimed at combining road performance and energy efficiency. Since its launch, it has established itself as the best-selling model of the brand, with over 4.5 million units sold in more than 100 countries and regions.

The third generation of the CX-5 has been developed around the concept “New Generation Emotional Daily Comfort.” The stated goal is to enhance everyday usability comfort while continuing the evolution of the design and driving qualities already recognized in previous versions. Mazda places particular emphasis on driving comfort, onboard silence, cabin hospitality, and improved spaciousness.

The new CX-5 also integrates a completely redesigned human-machine interface, enhanced connectivity through new applications, and more advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). These innovations aim to adapt the vehicle to current needs concerning safety, connectivity, and ease of use.

Mazda specifies that this new version retains the “Jinba-Ittai” approach, a concept dear to the brand that aims to provide a smooth and intuitive relationship between the driver and the vehicle.

The commercial launch in Europe is expected for the end of 2025. This new CX-5 will thus strengthen the Japanese manufacturer’s SUV range in an increasingly competitive European market.
