A prototype of the third-gen Mazda CX-5 was caught during development testing. The compact SUV and Mazda 's best seller is expected to debut in 2025 as a 2026 MY. The new CX-5 will be fitted with a hybrid powertrain, developed in-house. Mazda is preparing to unveil the next-generation CX-5 , nearly nine years after the current second-generation model debuted in 2016. Our spy photographers spotted the first prototype of the updated SUV driving around Los Angeles.
The third-generation CX-5 sports a pair of aggressive new taillights, shaped in a way that calls to mind recent BMW concepts, along with crisp LED graphics inspired by Mazda’s CX-60, 70, 80, and 90 series. A large tailgate dominates the back, complemented by an extra dose of plastic cladding on the rear bumper and prominently visible dual tailpipes.
