According to a market insight report by Maybank Investment Bank, Bermaz Auto has secured over 600 bookings for the third-generation Mazda CX-5 ahead of the SUV’s launch on October 8 this year.
Bermaz Motor, the official distributor of Mazda vehicles here, previously said the latest CX-5 will initially arrive as a fully-imported (CBU) model before local assembly (CKD) starts “about 12-16 months” later. Estimated pricing for the SUV is said to be from RM170k. In its report, the investment back states that CKD production of the CX-5 will start in mid-2027, with pricing below said estimate at circa RM160k.
The report also revealed a new B-segment SUV arriving in either 2027 or 2028, likely priced at around RM120k. This likely points towards the second-generation CX-3, which was confirmed by Mazda last month.
As per the Japanese carmaker’s mid-year financial report, the next generation of the CX-3 will be introduced in phases in ASEAN, Japan and other markets from 2027, with Thailand being the production base for the model. Both the current CX-3 and Mazda 2 – the latter sharing the same underlying vehicle platform – have already been dropped from Bermaz Motor’s line-up.

if not for chinese brands, Malaysian will still pay yahudi price for jap trash
I’ve seen people take out loans to afford the latest iPhone, this does not surprise me. A Mazda has higher value social standing than a comparative Chinese SUV priced way below it.
I also see a lot of barely 1 year old Mazda/Toyota/Honda/etc. at used car lots and online marketplaces. We really should’ve had more subjects taught on personal fiscal responsibility in school…
Sorry, we were only taught how to sakau..like our politikus
I think this new model will sell much better if you give option like 2.0 NA engine, road tax also cheaper huh
600 bookings. But how many cancellations
So much risk when all the AC button in the HU
