As the new 2026 CX-5 prepares for its market launch, Mazda Canada has unveiled pricing for the compact SUV — and we find a notable price bump compared to the outgoing model.
Last July, Mazda revealed the redesigned CX-5, featuring several key upgrades. Not surprisingly, those upgrades come at a cost. Where in 2025, the CX-5 started at an MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) of $32,550 for the base trim, Canadian consumers will have to pay a minimum of $36,300 to get behind the wheel of a base 2026 CX-5 GX. It’s an increase of $3,750.
2026 Mazda CX-5 – Canadian versions
The 2026 Mazda CX-5 catalog includes no fewer than six trim levels. Compared to the previous generation, only the 2.5L naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine remains; in other words, the turbocharged engine is no longer offered. A hybrid powertrain is expected at a later date.
Standard equipment on the Mazda CX-5 GX includes:
- • A 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- • Wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity
- • Google Built-in technology featuring navigation functionality
- • Voice assistant
- • USB-C power ports
- • Two 12V power outlets for device charging
- • Standard dual-zone automatic climate control
- • Heated front seats
- • Keyless entry system
- • Digital instrument cluster with a 10.25-inch LCD display
At the top of the lineup is the GT trim with the Premium Package. It features a 15.6-inch central touchscreen, driver monitoring system and a hands-free power tailgate with programmable height.
That high-end version also integrates traffic jam assist technology, smart brake support with front cross-traffic alert and rear cross-traffic braking.
