Mazda Canada has released pricing and packaging details for the 2026 CX-5, with the redesigned crossover scheduled to arrive in showrooms across the country in Spring 2026. The third-generation CX-5 will start at $36,300, with five trim levels offering increasing levels of equipment and safety technology.

To state that the CX-5 is an important model for Mazda is an understatement. In 2025, it accounted for more than 34% of total sales and saw a 14.8% increase in deliveries year-over-year. This momentum should carry on with the new model.

The all-new model is 4.5 inches longer than its predecessor, with a stretched wheelbase that improves rear-seat legroom and cargo space. The updated exterior includes a wider stance, new LED lighting signatures, and Japanese craftsmanship-inspired details such as kigumi-style fender trim and wide-set “Mazda” script on the liftgate. A new Navy Blue Mica exterior colour joins returning finishes such as Soul Red Crystal and Polymetal Grey.

Under the hood, all versions of the 2026 CX-5 are powered by the returning naturally aspirated SkyActiv-G 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine, producing 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. The powertrain is matched to a six-speed automatic transmission with standard i-Activ all-wheel drive across all trims. Mazda Intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) offers three driving modes (Normal, Sport, and Off-Road) while G-Vectoring Control Plus (GVC+) now includes an electronic brake limited-slip differential to improve cornering stability and traction.

Inside and depending on trim, the CX-5 gets either a 12.9-inch or 15.6-inch centre touchscreen equipped with Google built-in technology and Gemini AI voice assistant. The system allows for hands-free operation of various vehicle functions, supported by smartphone-style menus and Google Maps navigation.

Higher trims add adaptive front lighting, front and rear parking sensors, and a 360° camera system.

The CX-5 GX, priced from $36,300, includes manual seat adjustments, a 12.9-inch touchscreen with wired smartphone integration, heated front seats, and dual-zone climate control. The GS model, starting at $39,200, upgrades to a power liftgate, wireless smartphone charging, leatherette and cloth upholstery, roof rails, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The GT trim begins at $42,200 and includes 19-inch black metallic wheels, black exterior accents, Bose 12-speaker audio system, leather seating, and heated rear seats. A panoramic roof package raises the price to $44,200, while the GT with Premium Package reaches $46,700 and adds a 15.6-inch display, paddle shifters, facial recognition-based personalization, and advanced highway driving aids, including Cruise and Traffic Support with Lane Change Assist.

Optional paint finishes range from $300 to $500, while interior material upgrades are offered at $250, depending on the selected exterior colour. Above MSRPs do not include $2,195 for freight & PDE, taxes, title or additional fees.
