The Mazda CX-5 has proven to be one of Mazda’s best-selling models since it was introduced in 2012, serving as the Japanese brand’s major entry point into the popular crossover segment and going on to serve as a stepping stone to further evolve the brand as a whole, from its signature ‘Kodo’ design language to the addition of further compact and larger SUV models. The second-generation CX-5 was in production from 2017 and, following a midlife update in 2021, was long overdue for an all-new replacement to keep up with the competition.
