This is it: Mazda starts teasing all-new South Africa-bound CX-5
Hiroshima's most important model is expected to become a hybrid-only model and will arrive on local soil in 2026. CX-5 has been styled in accordance with Mazda's recent CX-models, the CX-60, CX-70, CX-80 and CX-90. Image: Mazda Having made its spy shot debut in January, Mazda has officially released first teaser images of the all-new third generation CX-5 it will unveil on 10 July. South Africa, yes One of Hiroshima's most important models, the replacement for the current KF generation, which debuted back in 2016, had initially been expected to debut next year, though this subsequently proved inaccurate following comments made by company CEO of South Africa, Craig Roberts. ALSO READ: Next Mazda CX-5 spied again as company commits to South Africa 'The new CX-5 will debut in the third quarter of this year and probably hit our shores in early 2026. It is the first product we are really, really excited about,' he said in a podcast on Moneyweb at the beginning. What to expect? A model that forms part of Mazda's product renewal for the South African market supposed to have kicked-off this year, the mentioned teasers show the CX-5 in the brand's trademark Soul Crystal Red with a design similar to the CX-60 and CX-90. Sharper rear-end styling has seemingly been modelled not only on the CX-60, but also the BMW X1. Image: Mazda Set to also mirror the CX-70 and CX-80 aesthetically, the CX-5 will continue to provide seating for five only, but an interior defined as 'uncluttered', 'more spacious' and with a 'human-centric' design. Going further, the official wording with the images proclaims 'a more engaging, intuitive drive with refined control and a smoother response'. Hybrid only? Although no exact details were revealed, speculation has alleged the wording as making reference to the CX-5 becoming a hybrid-only model with the same assortment of plug-in hybrid units as its siblings, as well as the self-charging Toyota-supplied hybrid system used in the North America-only CX-50. Likely to be a four-cylinder only affair once again, the CX-5 will, however, not be offered with a diesel engine or a manual gearbox – both already dropped from the KF range. Remaining is the option of all-wheel-drive as an alternative to the standard front-wheel-drive. More soon With just over a week left till its unveiling, don't be surprised if more details are revealed then as part of the teaser campaign.

2026 Mazda CX-5 teased, reveal date set for next-generation mid-size SUV
Mazda's next-generation mid-size SUV, set to offer hybrid power for the first time, is being revealed imminently. The third-generation Mazda CX-5 will be revealed on Thursday, July 10 at 6:00pm AEST, ahead of an expected 2026 launch in Australia. Mazda has released a set of shadowy teaser images, and they reveal a design that – while not exactly rocking the boat – appears sharper than the outgoing model. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. A single image of the new CX-5 undisguised had already been leaked, revealing its largely evolutionary design language. However, these new teasers give us a closer look at the details. There are stacked, bracket-shaped LED daytime running lights within the still-slim headlights, while down back the tailgate has a more angular appearance and the tail-lights more closely resemble Mazda's new lineup of large SUVs such as the CX-90. According to industry sources, the CX-5 could grow by as much as 110mm in length over the current model – something which would put it even closer to the larger and more premium CX-60. The current CX-5 in Australian showrooms measures up to 4575mm long, while the CX-60 is 4740mm long. But while the new CX-5 is expected to get closer to the CX-60 in size, the two SUVs will continue to be differentiated mechanically. Joining the powertrain lineup, however, will be a new hybrid system developed in-house, set to be mated with Mazda's new Skyactiv-Z 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine. This new engine, which will share components with the brand's existing 2.5-litre, will offer greater performance and fuel economy than before, while also meeting strict Euro 7 emissions regulations in Europe, and both LEV4 and Tier 4 regulations in North America. Mazda claims the Skyactiv-Z engine achieves lower emissions without any drops in output, as opposed to conventional engines which it says would result in a 30 per cent output drop. We can therefore expect naturally aspirated and hybrid 2.5-litre four-cylinder powertrains in the new CX-5, though it's unclear at this stage if a turbocharged version will continue to be offered. The current CX-5 is also still available in Japan with a 2.2-litre twin-turbo diesel, though this was retired in Australia for model year 2024. The existing CX-5 (pictured below) is a crucial vehicle for Mazda in Australia, where it has been the brand's best-seller since 2019. Last year the Mazda CX-5 was the eighth best-selling new vehicle in Australia, placing third in the high-volume mid-size SUV segment which it once dominated, behind the Toyota RAV4 and Mitsubishi Outlander. The medium SUV, which entered production back in 2016 based on underpinnings dating back to 2012, is holding onto the bronze medal thus far this year. To the end of May, Mazda has delivered 9409 examples – less than the RAV4 (21,613) and Outlander (10,203), but keeping the fresher Hyundai Tucson (7940), Kia Sportage (8723) and Nissan X-Trail (7209) at bay. It has managed to maintain its strong sales volumes despite the absence of hybrid or plug-in hybrid powertrains like those seen in its aforementioned rivals; Mazda doesn't even offer a mild-hybrid system in the CX-5 locally, though a 24V system is offered overseas. Mazda does currently offer a mid-size hybrid SUV – the CX-50, featuring hybrid tech from Toyota – but this is only offered in a handful of markets including China and the US.
