In this 3-minute review of the 2026 Mazda CX-5 new interior, we break down what’s changed, what’s improved, and why this redesigned compact SUV feels more premium than ever. 🚗✨
The all-new 2026 Mazda CX-5 grows by 4.5 inches in overall length and wheelbase, translating directly into better rear seat space and increased cargo capacity — two of the biggest consumer requests from the previous generation.

0:27 - 1:12 | Rear Seat Highlights
1:13 - 1:57 | Cargo & Towing Highlights
1:58 - 3:42:34 | Front Interior Highlights
🖥 Interior Design & Technology
The highlight is the new available 15.6-inch touchscreen — the largest ever offered in a Mazda. It now features Google Built-In, including Google Maps, Google Play apps, and voice control integration. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard 📱
Higher trims offer:
✔ 10.25-inch full LCD digital driver display
✔ Enhanced Active Driving Display (Heads-Up Display)
✔ 12-speaker Bose® premium audio system
✔ Seven-color ambient lighting
✔ Available panoramic sunroof
The cabin design feels cleaner and more minimalist, with upgraded materials and improved sound insulation for a quieter driving experience.
📦 Cargo Space & Practicality
Mazda addressed one of the biggest CX-5 criticisms — space.
• 964 litres (33.7 cu.ft.) with seats up
• 1,882 litres (66.5 cu.ft.) with seats folded (40/20/40 split)
• Lower lift-in height for easier loading
The GT Premium (Canada) and Premium Plus (U.S.) trims include a hands-free power liftgate with programmable height.
👨👩👧 Rear Seat Comfort
Rear legroom and headroom have increased thanks to the longer wheelbase. Door openings are larger — making child seat installation easier for active families.
Rear passengers also benefit from:
✔ Reclining seats
✔ Heated outboard rear seats (higher trims)
✔ Dual USB-C ports
🛻 Towing & Capability
Towing capacity is rated at 1,500 lbs, making it suitable for small trailers or weekend gear. Ground clearance ranges from 8.0 to 8.2 inches, depending on wheel size.
With more space, more technology, and a more premium feel, the 2026 Mazda CX-5 interior moves the compact SUV further upmarket.
Would this interior make you choose the CX-5 over the Toyota RAV4 or Honda CR-V? Comment👇
