Mazda SUV Models Up Close: Smallest to Biggest

Subcompact to full-size, these are all the current Mazda SUVs to know about.

This guide is regularly updated to reflect the latest Mazda SUV models, features, and lineup changes.

Mazda’s SUVs may not officially sit in the premium segment, but their sharp styling, upscale cabins, and engaging driving manners continue to give them an edge without pushing luxury-brand pricing. And the lineup keeps evolving. Following the arrival of the CX-70, hybrid-powered CX-50, and redesigned CX-90, Mazda now enters 2026 with an all-new CX-5 and updated versions of nearly every SUV in its growing crossover family. Here are all the latest models.

Key features:

  • Alexa Built-in integration optional for 2025 models
  • The sporty MX-5 Miata’s Aero Gray Metallic comes to the CX-30
  • Every CX-30 now standard i-Activ all-wheel drive and G-Vectoring Control Plus

Mazda may have killed off the electric MX-30 in the U.S. just two years into production (though it still lingers in Canada), but the CX-30 continues to thrive as one of the brand’s most stylish and engaging small crossovers. Sitting below the CX-5, the CX-30 blends upscale interior finishes, sharp driving manners, and standard i-Activ all-wheel drive into a package that feels more premium than its price tag suggests. For 2026, Mazda adds suspension refinements for improved ride comfort, a brake-based limited-slip differential for better stability, and new Aire Edition trims featuring gloss black accents and lighter interior themes. Select trims also gain a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while turbocharged models still deliver up to 250 horsepower on premium fuel.

The Mazda CX-5 enters 2026 with its biggest redesign since debuting more than a decade ago, bringing a bolder look, a roomier cabin, and significantly upgraded technology to Mazda’s best-selling SUV. While still positioned as the brand’s more refined and city-focused compact crossover, the new CX-5 now borrows styling cues from the larger CX-70 and CX-90, including a wider stance and more angular lighting. Inside, Mazda has dramatically improved rear-seat comfort and cargo space while introducing its largest-ever touchscreen display, complete with available Google built-in integration. Under the hood, the familiar 187-horsepower 2.5L four-cylinder returns with standard i-Activ all-wheel drive, while a new hybrid powertrain is expected to join the lineup in 2027.
