NEW Mazda CX-5 Review – Has Mazda RUINED its Family SUV?

Описание: The Mazda CX-5 has long been celebrated for having one of the best, most premium interiors in the family SUV class. But for this brand new model, Mazda has taken a massive risk: it's completely removed the rotary infotainment controller and the physical air-con controls!

Have these controversial changes, along with a dip in interior material quality, ruined the brand's best-selling car? In this comprehensive review, we test the new Mazda CX-5 to find out if the bigger 583-litre boot and excellent driving dynamics are enough to save it.

In this video, we take a detailed look around the 2026 Mazda CX-5 to see how much it's grown and the impact on rear legroom. Up front, we test the new 15.6-inch Google-based touchscreen, the new digital driver display and decide if there are too many hard and scratchy plastics in the interior.

Finally, we take the 2.5-litre e-Skyactiv G petrol version of the new CX-5 out on the road to see if 139bhp is enough power for a family SUV of this size.
