2026 MAZDA CX-5 Trim Level Comparison
The 2026 Mazda CX-5 arrives fully redesigned, with a longer wheelbase, a bolder Kodo Design® language, and a fresh take on cabin technology. To help shoppers around Indianapolis sort through the lineup, the team at Hubler Mazda has put together this guide to every trim, walking through what each one adds as you move up the ladder.
2.5 S
The 2.5 S trim is the foundation of the lineup, and it is far from sparse. Every 2026 Mazda CX-5 comes standard with a 187-horsepower SKYACTIV®-G 2.5-liter engine, i-Activ AWD®, and a six-speed automatic transmission. This trim also includes a 12.9-inch center display, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and standard i-Activsense® safety technology.
2.5 S Select
The 2.5 S Select trim builds on the base with smart keyless entry, illuminated vanity mirrors, and a frameless auto-dimming rearview mirror. Drivers also gain blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a wireless phone charger. It’s a thoughtful step up for shoppers who want more daily convenience.
2.5 S Preferred
The 2026 Mazda CX-5 2.5 S Preferred adds heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a 10-way power driver seat with two-position memory. Leatherette upholstery with embossed microsuede inserts gives the cabin a more elevated feel. A Homelink® garage door opener also joins the standard list.
2.5 S Premium
The 2.5 S Premium trim pushes the 2026 Mazda CX-5 into genuinely upscale territory. Leather-trimmed seating, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and a panoramic sunroof come standard. A 12-speaker Bose® audio system and Mazda Radar Cruise Control™ with Cruising & Traffic Support round out the upgrades.
2.5 S Premium Plus
The 2026 Mazda CX-5 2.5 S Premium Plus is the flagship of the lineup. It swaps in a 15.6-inch center display, a hands-free power liftgate, and a Personalization System for tailored driver settings. A 360-View Monitor and front and rear parking sensors make tight spots easier to manage.
