Overview

The Mazda CX-5 is a five-seat C-segment SUV, locally assembled in Kulim, with petrol and diesel engines and a conventional automatic gearbox. It suits buyers who want a family SUV with a broad powertrain spread, from a 2.0-litre 2WD model to a 2.5 turbo AWD flagship. Prices start from RM134,469.

For 2026, the KF CX-5 carries on as the older model even as the third-generation CX-5 opens for Malaysian bookings, with an estimated RM170k pre-launch price and an initial CBU 2.5-litre-only plan before CKD follows. The existing range remains five-strong: 2.0 2WD Mid, 2.0 2WD High, 2.5 2WD High, 2.2D High 2WD and 2.5T High AWD. The 2.0G High gets a 12.3-inch screen, body-coloured cladding and a RM10k reduction.

The CX-5 is a late-life C-segment SUV rather than a fresh face. Its strength is range breadth: petrol, diesel, 2WD and AWD are all available, and the 2.5 Turbo brings 228 hp and 420 Nm with i-Activ AWD, but no paddle shifters. Pricing sits above the Proton X70 and Jetour Dashing entry points, and the incoming third-generation model means buyers should be clear they are looking at the KF facelift.

1,392 registered so far in 2026 — Malaysia's #45 best-selling model this year.
