The Wait is Over —the All New 2026 Mazda CX-5 is Here!

We’ve been talking about it for months and it’s finally here!

The first Mazda vehicle to ever utilize Mazda’s famous Kodo design language and Skyactiv tech is back for its 3rd Generation. I’m talking, of course, about the all-new 2026 Mazda CX-5.

And the all-new 2026 Mazda CX-5 is more of a good thing. Let’s talk about it!

So what’s new? Basically everything.

For starters, it’s physically larger than the previous CX-5 generation, in both length and width, adding more legroom and cargo capacity! Wooohooo practicality!

But wait, what’s that Kodo talk from before? Well, you see Mazda’s KODO design refers to the “energy of motion” inspired by the musculature of animals in movement. As a result, we end up with beautifully-sculpted lines throughout the body of the CX-5 and the special colors unique to Mazda only make it even more special!

Plus, the interior continues Mazda’s trend of upscale materials and a quiet, refined cabin that allows the driver to focus without too many distractions. It’s so comfortable in here, seriously, you have to see it for yourself.

So with all this being mentioned, is it really a surprise that the Mazda CX-5 accounts for one-third of ALL Mazda sales? Nah, I didn’t think so.

Come check out the all-new 2026 Mazda CX-5 TODAY!

Mazda CX-90 PHEV Named Best Plug-In Hybrid SUV for Families

Family SUV. Plug-in efficiency. Top-tier safety. The 2026 Mazda CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid just checked every box and then some.

It’s been named Best PHEV SUV for Families by U.S. News & World Report for 2026, earning the highest overall score in its class! That means when it comes to the things families actually care about like:

• safety

• space

• comfort, and

• everyday usability

It dominated. And this isn’t some random niche win either. The 2026 CX-90 PHEV stands out because it blends three things that don’t always show up in the same vehicle:

• All-electric driving capability for short daily trips

• Gas backup for long hauls and road trips

• A true three-row SUV with space for people and everything that comes with them.

Plus, the CX-90 PHEV also touts a Top Safety PICK+ from the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety), one of the highest honors in the industry when it comes to safety.

Put it all together and you’ve got an extremely practical 3-row SUV designed for both families and for drivers who enjoy being behind the wheel.
