2026 Mazda CX-5: Premium Redesign with a HUGE Engine Question!?
The 2026 Mazda CX-5 is finally here, but there’s one big catch.
No hybrid… while the new RAV4 goes all-in.
This is our first look at the all-new Mazda CX-5 for Australia, covering design, interior, tech, pricing, and what’s changed. On the surface, it’s a clear step forward. Bigger, sharper, more premium.
But timing matters.
Toyota is about to launch a fully hybrid RAV4, and Mazda’s answer won’t arrive until 2027. That raises a serious question for buyers right now.
Is this still one of the best mid-size SUVs in Australia, or has Mazda left the door open?
In this video:

The hybrid gap, and why it matters
If you’re choosing between CX-5, RAV4, or other mid-size SUVs, this is the one thing you need to know before buying.
Let me know in the comments, would you wait for the hybrid or buy now?
