2026 Mazda CX-5 Shopping Overview in Tustin, CA

Performance & Capability for Every Mile

The 2026 CX-5 keeps Mazda’s driver-first character intact while dialing up smoothness and control. Mazda recalibrated the proven 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G four-cylinder for sharper response when you want it and a quieter demeanor when you do not. A 6-speed automatic transmission pairs with standard i-Activ AWD® to deliver poised traction—useful for rain-slicked commutes on the 55 or winding ramps near The Market Place. The result is a compact SUV that feels reassuring and refined mile after mile, without asking you to trade away engagement behind the wheel.

Step into the 2026 CX-5 and the cabin feels calm, open, and purpose-driven. Door openings are larger for easier entry—helpful when securing a rear-facing child seat—and the increase in second-row dimensions makes daily carpool duty more comfortable. The extra cargo length and height simplify grocery runs and weekend gear, and the lower lift-in height helps protect your back. Technology takes a meaningful leap, too: the available 15.6-inch integrated touchscreen—the largest ever offered on a Mazda—pairs with Google built-in for intuitive, smartphone-like control. When signed in, you can access saved places in Google Maps and use a curated selection of in-vehicle apps from Google Play. With voice assistance powered by Google Gemini coming soon to cars with Google built-in, you will be able to ask questions naturally and keep your hands on the wheel. From the soft glow of seven-color ambient lighting to the crisp, responsive interface, the CX-5’s technology serves the experience rather than distracting from it.

Mazda’s safety approach blends robust structure with human-centric technology to help you drive with confidence. The CX-5’s i-ACTIVSENSE® features are designed to assist—not replace—the driver. Tools like Smart Brake Support, lane-keeping assistance, and blind-spot alerts can help you respond to the unexpected around Tustin’s busy arterials or while merging onto the 55. Available features, including a 360° View Monitor and rear automatic braking, add an extra layer of assistance in tight parking structures around Tustin Auto Center or The Market Place. As of July 2026, the CX-5 is an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+, reinforcing Mazda’s track record for safety leadership. Consumer Reports also named Mazda the “Safest New-Car Brand” in February 2026 under its new Safety Verdict methodology—Consumer Reports does not endorse products or services.

Compact SUVs compete fiercely, but the CX-5 brings a combination that is rare: standard AWD, upscale cabin execution, and technology that feels like it was built for your day rather than adapted from a phone. Where some competitors reserve AWD for upper trims or rely on smaller center displays, the CX-5 makes traction a default and offers a forward-looking, available 15.6-inch integrated touchscreen with Google built-in to streamline navigation, apps, and media. The larger rear seating area and lower lift-in height also stand out—especially when juggling strollers, backpacks, and groceries near The Market Place or Irvine Spectrum.
