2027 Mazda CX-5 Launches in the Philippines

On August 20, 2026, Mazda Philippines introduced the all-new 2027 Mazda CX-5, marking the third generation of Mazda’s compact SUV. The Philippine-market model is priced at PHP 2.495 million for the 2.5L AWD HEV Premium Plus variant. The launch brings a hybrid powertrain and updated vehicle technologies to the CX-5, while also increasing the SUV’s overall dimensions compared with its predecessor. The new model combines Mazda’s e-Skyactiv-G engine with its hybrid system, updated electronic architecture and i-Activsense driver-assistance technologies.

Hybrid Powertrain and All-Wheel Drive

The Philippine-market CX-5 is powered by a 2.5-liter e-Skyactiv-G engine paired with Mazda’s hybrid system, producing 181 PS and 242 Nm. The powertrain is matched with a recalibrated six-speed automatic transmission and i-Activ all-wheel drive. According to Mazda Philippines, torque delivery below 4,500 rpm has improved by up to 19% compared with the outgoing engine. This powertrain configuration combines the familiar combustion-engine platform with hybrid assistance, while the AWD system provides the model with Mazda’s established all-wheel-drive capability.

New Architecture and Driver Assistance Technologies

The third-generation CX-5 also adopts Mazda’s next-generation E/E Architecture+ (EEA+), representing an important change in the vehicle’s electronic architecture. The SUV is additionally equipped with a suite of i-Activsense driver-assistance systems designed to support driver awareness and vehicle safety. The combination of updated electronic architecture and driver-assistance technology forms part of the broader technology package introduced with the new generation. For the Philippines market, these additions accompany the new hybrid powertrain and represent key changes beyond the vehicle’s exterior dimensions.

Larger Dimensions for the Third-Generation CX-5

The new CX-5 is larger than its predecessor in every major exterior dimension. Its overall length has increased by 115 mm, while width has grown by 15 mm and height by 30 mm. The wheelbase is also 115 mm longer, reaching 2,815 mm. The resulting dimensions are 4,690 mm in length, 1,860 mm in width and 1,695 mm in height. These changes give the third-generation SUV a substantially revised dimensional footprint while retaining its position in the compact SUV segment. The increased wheelbase is one of the most notable changes compared with the outgoing model.
