The wait is almost over. Mazda has officially unveiled the all-new third-generation Mazda CX-5, bringing a fresh design, enhanced practicality, advanced technology and improved efficiency to one of Britain's favourite family SUVs.
As Mazda's best-selling model globally and in the UK, the arrival of the all-new CX-5 is one of the most anticipated vehicle launches of 2026. At Western & Barnetts Mazda, we're answering the questions customers are asking most and sharing the latest confirmed information ahead of the new model's arrival.
The all-new Mazda CX-5 is scheduled to arrive in UK showrooms during Summer 2026, with customer orders already open and specifications now confirmed by Mazda UK.
Western & Barnetts Mazda expects strong demand for the new CX-5, particularly from existing owners looking to upgrade to the latest generation of Mazda's award-winning SUV.
Customers interested in securing one of the first UK vehicles are encouraged to register their interest early.
Mazda UK has confirmed that prices for the all-new CX-5 start from £31,550. The model range includes six trim levels, with customers able to choose between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive variants, all paired with an automatic transmission.
The pricing positions the CX-5 competitively within the highly contested mid-size SUV segment, offering premium design and technology without the premium-brand price tag.
The latest CX-5 represents the biggest evolution of the model since its original launch in 2012.
Mazda has retained the familiar proportions that made the CX-5 so popular while introducing a more confident exterior design, increased interior space and a significantly upgraded cabin experience.
Key improvements include:
The result is a family SUV that remains unmistakably Mazda while better meeting the needs of modern drivers.
For the UK market, the all-new CX-5 is powered by Mazda's 2.5-litre e-Skyactiv G petrol engine, combined with 24-volt Mazda M Hybrid mild-hybrid technology.
The powertrain produces 141PS and is paired exclusively with a six-speed automatic gearbox. Front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations are available depending on specification.
The mild-hybrid system helps improve efficiency and smoothness, particularly during urban driving and stop-start traffic conditions.
This is one of the most common questions we're being asked.
The current UK launch model features Mazda's mild-hybrid petrol technology. However, Mazda has already confirmed that its next-generation Skyactiv-Z powertrain programme is under development, with future electrified powertrains expected to play an increasingly important role within the Mazda range.
While Mazda has not yet announced a UK launch date for a full-hybrid CX-5 variant, many industry observers expect additional electrified options to follow after the initial launch phase.
The all-new CX-5 has grown slightly compared with its predecessor, improving both passenger comfort and practicality.
The European-specification model measures:
These changes contribute to a more spacious rear cabin and increased luggage capacity, making the CX-5 even better suited to family life.
Mazda has introduced a completely redesigned digital experience for the third-generation CX-5.
Depending on specification, customers can choose between a 12.9-inch or 15.6-inch central touchscreen display featuring smartphone-inspired functionality and customisable menus. Connectivity and usability have been significantly enhanced, while Mazda's latest driver assistance systems help improve convenience and safety.
The new cabin has been designed around Mazda's human-centric philosophy, ensuring technology remains intuitive and easy to use while reducing driver distraction.
The answer is simple: yes.
The Mazda CX-5 has earned its reputation as one of the UK's most popular family SUVs thanks to its combination of reliability, driving enjoyment, practicality and premium-quality design.
The third-generation model builds on these strengths by offering:
For many families, it continues to represent one of the most compelling alternatives to rivals from Nissan, Kia, Hyundai, Volkswagen and Toyota.
Since launching in 2012, the CX-5 has become Mazda's global success story.
More than five million CX-5 models have been sold worldwide, making it one of the most successful vehicles in Mazda's history and the company's best-selling model in numerous markets, including the UK.
The all-new CX-5 therefore represents far more than a routine model update—it is the next chapter in one of Mazda's most important vehicles.
The all-new Mazda CX-5 is set to arrive at Western & Barnetts Mazda this Summer, bringing a new level of refinement, technology and practicality to Mazda's best-selling SUV.
