At the Tokyo Outdoor Show 2026 (June 26–28, Makuhari Messe, Chiba), Mazda presented three versions of the new CX-5 tailored for outdoor activities. In collaboration with Hiroshima-based brands (AutoExe, Stella Crafts, Nora Dogugu Seisakusho), the company showcased variants for off-road, in-car sleeping, and long-distance travel.
Key innovations include the original Bed Cushion mattress (1500 mm long when folded) and a set of curtains with mosquito netting, allowing overnight stays without conversion. The exhibition featured a zone where visitors could test the sleeping space in the trunk. The new generation features a wheelbase extended by 115 mm, increased rear legroom (by 64 mm), and a panoramic roof. With the rear seats folded, the trunk length is 1845 mm, accommodating a person up to 180 cm tall.
The new CX-5 went on sale on May 21, 2026. Orders exceeded 10,000 units by June 21, five times the monthly sales target of 2,000 vehicles.
