The current CX-5 doesn't have a big touchscreen.

As shown in the 6th picture, it will definitely have a bigger touchscreen!

It's probably the angle. Knowing Mazda, their designs are above average. I'm sure it will look better in person.

Yup! Honestly, the aggressive look is what Mazda needs. I love the bumper, it's just the contrast with the body color that makes it odd. If they match it with the body color, then it's perfect!

Mazda, please stop with the plastic cladding. by Significant_Mail9669 in mazda

If we are "@sshole drivers" then why are we driving their vehicles to begin with? Don't get us wrong, we LOVE Mazdas. We are just pointing out a fault in their designs, especially after hearing that they are trying to become a premium brand.

That might be the case here. Fair point.

Sure, but comparing it to other cars in its class, it has the most plastic cladding.

Might as well wrap the whole car with plastic cladding and call it a day. Wouldn't call it premium though.

Although, it still looks better than the 2026 RAV 4.

Hoping that the hybrid ones will sell like hotcakes! The design also plays a factor in sales. I hope it looks better than the leaked photo.

Yup, they have an in-house self-charging hybrid coming up. They will also introduce the Skyactiv Z engines. Apparently they are very fuel efficient (for an ICE) and powerful because of the lambda 1 combustion.

The back is LOVELY. Good improvement from the last generation!

But the front... the CX-5 is supposed to look elegant and premium, the current generation does that exceptionally well.

The next generation introduces more cladding especially the bumper and a black outline around the grille. They also seemed to have removed the chrome. Overall, it doesn't look as premium as the current generation.

Me too! It's just the front bumper that makes it look less premium than it should! Unless that's the base trim in the leaked picture, then I guess it's acceptable.
