The Mazda CX-5, a popular compact crossover, might still have a future despite rumors suggesting its imminent phase-out due to the emergence of newer models in the market. Following the sale of an impressive 365,135 units last year, Mazda is reportedly working on a third-generation CX-5, slated for release in 2025 according to sources.
According to reliable sources, Mazda has confirmed that the upcoming CX-5, alongside the CX-50 and the larger CX-90 crossovers. While an exact launch date is yet to be finalized, industry experts anticipate a highly anticipated arrival. The new CX-5 is expected to maintain a similar configuration to its current model, featuring a four-cylinder engine, front-wheel drive, and an optional all-wheel drive system. Rumors are floating around of a new Mazda crossover for the Philippine market, however, one that looks similar in size to the popular CX-5 model.
Insiders strongly believe that the new Mazda CX-5 will also incorporate a hybrid powertrain, similar to that found in popular models such as the Toyota RAV4 or Corolla Cross. It is worth noting that Toyota holds a five percent stake in Mazda, and the two companies have previously collaborated on various vehicle projects, including the exclusive Mazda3 hybrid.
In line with Mazda’s previous announcement, the company plans to introduce three electric vehicles, five plug-in hybrids, and five conventional hybrids by 2025. However, specific details regarding which models will offer these powertrain options have not been disclosed yet. Additionally, rumors have been circulating about Mazda’s development of rotary-powered hybrids. Recent reports suggest that Mazda may release a rotary engine hybrid version of the CX-30 in the United States, as the company has filed patents for a sports car utilizing a rotary plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) setup.
As Mazda continues to innovate and explore alternative powertrain options, enthusiasts and potential buyers eagerly await the launch of the new CX-5, anticipating a combination of Mazda’s renowned driving experience and the efficiency of hybrid technology. We may have to wait a few more years before the crossover gets new tech. Given how it was just updated last year for the Philippine market with a turbocharged engine under the hood, it seems like high time for Mazda to consider turning it into a hybrid.
A new Mazda CX-5 is planned for 2025 with a hybrid powertrain
Mazda’s most popular crossover is not going away anytime soon. Reports are coming in of a new CX-5 to come in the next two years.
