The all-new 2026 Mazda CX-5: The SUV Reimagined for a New Generation of Adventurers

02 March 2026 The all-new 2026 Mazda CX-5 on road in campaign

 

Mazda is bringing a wave of change and this time, it’s the CX-5 that gets a deep, meaningful evolution. New styling, new technology, more space, and greater refinement this is a true transformation, not just a light refresh. The all-new 2026 Mazda CX-5 positions itself as the perfect companion for tackling winter on Highway 138, heading out for a weekend at Manic-5, or simply making everyday drives more enjoyable. It’s a vehicle designed for real life—the kind we live here in Baie-Comeau and across the Côte Nord.


A Refreshed Design, An Elevated Experience

Staying true to Mazda’s Kodo: Soul of Motion philosophy, the 2026 CX-5 adopts a bolder presence. The silhouette is wider, lower, and more sculpted. It’s the kind of Mazda SUV you notice as much in the parking lot at Centre Henry-Leonard as you do waiting in line for the ferry to Matane.

Inside, the cabin has been completely redesigned. Mazda aimed for a cleaner, more refined interior that’s also more functional. A central touchscreen of up to 15.6 inches now integrates Google built-in services, offering seamless navigation, intelligent voice commands, and direct access to essential apps. No more adapters or cables—everything is designed to keep you connected naturally.

Every material, every stitch, every surface has been carefully selected. The seats are comfortable and adjustable, welcoming both passengers and drivers heading out on long expeditions. Cabin quietness is striking—perfect for enjoying a peaceful drive through the boreal forest or listening to your favorite podcast on the way to the Jardin des Glaciers.
