2026 Mazda CX-5 Starts at $29,990 as Redesign Debuts With Google Built‑In

The lineup launches with the 187 hp 2.5‑liter engine only, with a hybrid slated for 2027.

Overview

  • Mazda published U.S. MSRPs from $29,990 to $38,990 before a $1,495 destination fee, which pushes the Premium Plus to at least $40,485 on the road.
  • The third‑generation CX‑5 grows longer with a stretched wheelbase and introduces a touchscreen system featuring Google Built‑in and the Gemini AI assistant.
  • All trims at launch use a 2.5‑liter SkyActiv‑G four‑cylinder with 187 hp and a six‑speed automatic, paired with standard all‑wheel drive.
  • The previous turbocharged 256 hp variant is absent at launch, and Mazda says a SkyActiv‑Z hybrid is planned for 2027 with details to come.
  • The new pricing represents a $940 increase at the base level and places the CX‑5 about $90 above the related CX‑50, with U.S. arrivals set for the coming months.
