Mazda CX-5 Carbon Edition (2026) Review
FAST FACTS
Model: Mazda CX-5 2.0 Carbon Edition
Price: R688 400
Engine: 2.0-litre naturally-aspirated 4-cylinder petrol engine
Transmission: 6-speed automatic transmission
Power/Torque: 121 kW/213 Nm
Claimed fuel consumption: 6.9 litres/100 km
0-100 kph: 10.4 seconds (claimed)/9.75 seconds (tested)
Luggage capacity: 438-1 914 litres
Price & After-sales support
The Mazda CX-5 is sold with a 5-year/unlimited kilometre warranty and a 5-year/unlimited kilometre service plan.
CX-5 Active R570 500
CX-5 Dynamic R617 900
CX-5 Carbon Edition R688 400
Pricing correct as of July 2026.
Verdict
With the all-new Mazda CX-5 arriving next month, this generation of CX-5 has finally come to an end, and what a legacy! From winning the Family Car category in our Consumer Awards not once but twice, the CX-5 has endeared itself to us on numerous occasions.
If you were to purchase this CX-5 right now, it’s unlikely you’ll be disappointed. And, if you are shopping in this segment, it’s worth investigating whether dealers are keen to clear out old stock by offering generous discounts.
At this stage, pricing for the newcomer is yet to be confirmed, but we’re bracing ourselves for a substantial increase. The new engine will be a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre petrol, with mild-hybrid powertrains potentially on the cards.
