New Mazda CX-5 Hybrid 2025 and 2027: Silent Innovation in Our Ears

New 2025 Mazda CX-5 Hybrid and 2027 – Mazda, the small Japanese manufacturer, has been so busy with its double-digit crossover SUVs that we might have forgotten about the best-selling Mazda CX-5 if it weren't for the buzz of rumors. Introduced in 2012 as the brand's definitive compact crossover SUV, the CX-5 has been a hit ever since. Two generations have already passed through the market, with the current one having been introduced some time ago at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show. Since then, also thanks to a facelift for the 2022 model, it has not wavered in the face of great competition from Japanese rivals, South Koreans, Europeans and Americans.

The Electrified Future

However, although Mazda North American Operations announced an 8.7% increase in deliveries during the first four months of 2024, this was not due to a positive development of the CX-5. Instead, although it remained at the top of the charts in terms of gross sales, its numbers were down 14% compared to the same period last year. This is likely due to the age of the current iteration and Mazda's stubbornness in filling the compact and midsize crossover SUV segments with as many models as possible. In America, the CX-5 receives domestic competition from models like the locally produced CX-50, and Mazda now also has the larger CX-70 and CX-90 in its lineup.

But do not worry; Rumors have already captured Mazda's plans for the third generation CX-5. According to a recent report based on leaked internal documents, the next iteration is confirmed to feature a Skyactiv hybrid engine thanks to an internal setup. It is not yet known whether it will be a regular hybrid or a PHEV like the larger models, but the CX-50 is also being considered with electrified news, along with its cousin CX-5.

Redesigning the Future: Vince Burlapp's Vision

Naturally, the revelation that a new Mazda CX-5 is coming (soon) has set off a frenzy in the imaginative realm of automotive digital content creators. Many of them rushed to imagine their potential design project based on the Mazda Arata concept presented at Auto China 2024, but Vince Burlapp (also known as vburlapp on social media or burlappcar.com), a prolific virtual artist who loves to dream up every latest models in the broad automotive realm, is taking a more personal path.

As such, he dreams of the next Mazda CX-5 with a subtly improved design that is very much in line with the first and second OEM generations – if this becomes reality, some will certainly appreciate the conservative styling. Others, not so much – but that's the way Mazda does things, as clearly demonstrated with the CX-70 and CX-90 siblings.

2027: The Age of Total Electricity

Additionally, the pixel master decided to take a look at the future of the 2027 model year, when Mazda could also introduce its first dedicated EV for America, a crossover – possibly an all-electric derivative of the best-selling CX-5. This way, they would have a potential trio – gasoline, hybrid and fully electric – to cover all possible angles of the market.

What to Expect from the New CX-5 Hybrid 2025?

While official details are still scarce, we can expect the new 2025 CX-5 Hybrid to offer a more efficient and environmentally friendly driving experience without compromising Mazda's signature performance and style. The exterior design will likely follow the elegant and sporty lines of the current generation, with some modern touches inspired by the Arata concept.

Inside, we can expect a luxurious and technological environment, with high-quality materials and advanced connectivity and safety features. The Skyactiv hybrid system should provide a smooth and responsive drive, with low fuel consumption and reduced emissions.
