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.
CX-5 in 2026 — what's new
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.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the 2.0 2WD Mid at RM134,469: it already has the 162 hp 1,998 cc petrol engine, automatic gearbox and five-seat layout. The 2.0 2WD High is RM151,469 with the same output, so on paper you’re paying for trim; check the equipment list. Move to the RM164,960 2.5 2WD High for 192 hp, the RM170,323 2.2D High 2WD for diesel, or the RM178,760 2.5T High AWD for 228 hp and all-wheel drive.

Verdict
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.
