2026 CX-5 is Godzilla next to a CX-30
I was at my Mazda dealer today getting one-year service for my '25 CX-30. In the showroom were a couple of 2026 CX-5s. I see CX-5s everywhere and a near neighbor has one, but when I saw the showroom models my first thought was "When did they get so huge?!". It turns out that the 2026 model size is in fact a good bit bigger, typical (and IMO sad) SUV inflation. The CX-30 hasn't changed dimensions to speak of since it was introduced, and if Mazda understands its market niche, hopefully it won't in years to come either.
| Model | Length | Width | Height |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 Mazda CX-30 | 173.0 in | 70.7 in | 61.7–62.2 in |
| 2025 Mazda CX-5 | 180.1 in | 72.6 in | 65.9 in |
| 2026 Mazda CX-5 | 184.6 in | 73.2 in | 66.5 in |
