2025 Mazda CX-5 First Look! Best Selling Compact SUV

Hi everyone, and welcome back to AUTOMAGZKING! Today, we're diving into the world of Mazda and getting a glimpse of what their most popular vehicle, the CX-5, might look like in its next iteration.

While there's no official confirmation on the name yet, some rumors suggest it could be called the CX-40, fitting between the CX-30 and CX-50 in Mazda's lineup.

But one thing's for sure: a replacement for the CX-5 is coming, most likely in 2025.

Sticking to its Roots.

The good news for CX-5 fans is that the new model is expected to retain the familiar size and value proposition of the current version.

This means it will continue to compete with rivals like the Toyota RAV4 and Hyundai Tucson, offering a compelling option in the midsize SUV segment.

However, expect a slight growth in dimensions for more passenger and cargo space. Imagine a sweet spot between the current CX-5 and the larger CX-50.

Under the Hood.

Under the hood, the new CX-5 is likely to borrow the proven front- or all-wheel-drive platform from the Mazda 3 and CX-50. This should translate to a smoother ride and improved noise reduction.

While the current engine options might see some refinements, the big news is the potential arrival of a full-hybrid powertrain, similar to the one found in the Toyota RAV4. Plug-in hybrid and even fully electric versions are also possibilities for the future.
