All-New Mazda CX-5 Range Announced For New Zealand

The introduction of the all-new CX-5 brings with it a revised product grade and nomenclature, in line with other recent models from Mazda.

CX-5 Touring

Representing the entry point to the CX-5, the Touring features an ample list of convenience and technology features that customers can enjoy with daily use. Fitted with standard 17-inch alloy wheels, the Touring also features LED headlights for improved safety and visibility and privacy glass for added cabin comfort.  

Inside, an eight-speaker stereo system is paired to a 12.9-inch touchscreen display Mazda Connect infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.  Qi wireless mobile phone charging, dual-zone climate control and cloth-covered seats with heating for front occupants ensure high levels of comfort and convenience for all.

CX-5 SP

Building off the CX-5 Touring, CX-5 SP offers a step-up in both design and standard equipment.  A successor to the previous range favourite, the CX-5 GSX, the SP’s exterior additions include 19-inch alloy wheels in a black and machined finish, along with gloss black roof rails and electrically operated tailgate.  

Within the cabin the driver’s seat includes electric adjustment, and all seats are covered in a deluxe leatherette trim.  Mazda’s full colour Active Driving Display system projects the most important information onto the windscreen to allow drivers to keep their eyes on the road ahead.  A heated steering wheel and heated windscreen are two further highlights.

CX-5 Homura

Representing an additional step up visually, CX-5 Homura can be denoted by the use of black gloss contrasting elements on the exterior. Its 19-inch wheels are now in a black metallic finish, similarly the bumper trims and wheelarch mouldings.  For the first time in a CX-5, a large panoramic sunroof is featured adding even more light into the airy cabin for all occupants.

The CX-5 Homura features luxurious leather seat trim, the passenger seat is now electrically adjustable, and the outer rear seats are heated.  Additionally, audio sees a generous upgrade with the inclusion of 12-speaker Bose system.

For added assistance while manoeuvring and parking, the CX-5 Homura includes a 360 View Monitor with See-Through View to give a superior perspective of surroundings from the driver’s seat.  For the first time, the 360 View Monitor continues to provide full vision even when the exterior mirrors are in a folded position, whilst also providing a view of the road surface beneath the vehicle with a semi-transparent outline over the top.

CX-5 Takami

Headlining the CX-5 range is the Takami, which further builds on the well-appointed CX-5 Homura.  Now with the inclusion of a hands-free function for the electrically operated tailgate, the standard 12.9-inch touch display is swapped for a larger 15.6-inch display, and paddle shifters to control transmission gear changes are added behind the steering wheel for an even more engaging drive.

The CX-5 Takami also features leather seating in an exclusive Sport Tan colour, with the front seats gaining a ventilation function.  Driver Personalisation System, first seen on the flagship CX-90, assists the driver in automatically adjusting their mirrors and seating position, an innovative feature to support the driver to achieve an optimum position for comfort and control over the vehicle.

Launching Spring 2026, pricing for the all-new CX-5 is expected in the coming months.  Pre-sale activity has begun for the all-new CX-5, with the Mazda dealer network now taking expressions of interest for the new model.
