There is no Mazda CX-5 turbo for 2026, and the specs are simple. Every trim uses a 2.5-litre four-cylinder with 187 hp and 186 lb-ft, a 6-speed automatic and i-Activ all-wheel drive. The previous turbocharged CX-5 was dropped when the compact SUV was redesigned for 2026.

Why there is no Mazda CX-5 turbo for 2026
Mazda’s Canadian page lists only the 187-hp 2.5L engine for the new CX-5 and mentions turbo options only for other Mazda models. If you want a turbo, a used 2025 or earlier CX-5 Turbo is the route, or look at Mazda’s smaller turbo models such as our Mazda CX-30 Turbo specs.
Mazda has confirmed a hybrid version for 2027, which may suit buyers who want better efficiency rather than more power.
Performance and fuel economy
With 187 hp the CX-5 is built for comfortable commuting rather than speed. Mazda does not publish an official 0 to 60 time in the sources we checked.
Fuel use of 9.0 L/100 km combined is a government estimate. Your results will vary with winter conditions, load and driving style.
Size, cargo and tech
The redesigned CX-5 is longer than the old model, and Mazda says the rear cargo area is larger. The company’s page does not list a cubic-foot figure, so compare against the spec sheet of the exact trim at a dealer.
The infotainment moves to a large touchscreen, 12.9 inches as standard and 15.6 inches on the GT Premium package.
Which trim to choose
- GX and GS suit buyers focused on price and the standard AWD
- GT adds more comfort and tech equipment
- GT Premium adds the bigger screen and the most features
