KLIMS 2026: New Mazda CX-5 Previewed

The upcoming Mazda CX-5 was shown at KLIMS 2026.

Bermaz Motor has officially made a commanding impression at the Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (KLIMS 2026) by presenting an exclusive preview of the highly anticipated All-New Mazda CX-5. First introduced globally in 2025, the latest iteration of Mazda’s core SUV marks a significant new chapter focused on human-centric engineering, refined design, and an elevated driving experience.

As one of Mazda’s most recognizable and best-selling models worldwide, the next-generation SUV is officially open for nationwide booking starting today, 12th June 2026, ahead of its formal commercial arrival on Malaysian shores.

The “Wearable Gear” Design Philosophy

Evolved under a brand-new styling direction termed “Wearable Gear,” the All-New Mazda CX-5 presents a sportier, more confident form that blends urban sophistication with adventurous practicality.

Key exterior developments include:

• Enhanced Proportions: Features a visibly extended wheelbase that drastically improves on-road stability, presence, and daily practicality.
• Kodo Soul of Motion: Sculpted surfaces, an assured stance, and premium refined lighting signatures reflect a mature evolution of Mazda’s classic design philosophy.

The resulting exterior aesthetic ensures that the SUV feels seamlessly integrated into modern life, expressing both simplicity and strength in a contemporary form.

A Calm and Harmonious Cabin Environment

Inside, the All-New CX-5 doubles down on creating a serene, carefully balanced cockpit environment designed to lower commuter stress. The entire interior layout prioritizes absolute clarity, ergonomic comfort, and overall ease of use to support a composed journey through both dense city traffic and long-distance interstate driving.

Material choices have been upgraded across the board, matching substantial advancements in cabin insulation and quietness to ensure a deeply refined travel experience. Seamlessly integrating into modern lifestyles, the vehicle’s upgraded infotainment architecture provides a versatile, reassuring companion that adapts to a wide range of daily family and professional needs. Visitors to KLIMS 2026 can even sign up for exclusive, hands-on test drive sessions at the event to experience the vehicle’s driving dynamics firsthand.

Expanding the Premium Lineup: Public Debut of the New CX-60 3.3L MHEV

While the next-generation CX-5 remains the primary highlight for mainstream buyers, Mazda is also utilizing the high-profile mobility show to flex its upscale engineering capabilities. Making its very first public debut in Malaysia is the New Mazda CX-60 3.3L MHEV , expanding the model’s local presence following the successful launch of the 2.5L variant in September 2025.

Fully imported (CBU) from Japan and priced from RM 252,872.80 (West Malaysia pricing, on-the-road without insurance), the premium flagship SUV is developed under the Large Product Group. Envisioned through the design concept of “Noble Toughness,” it introduces a longitudinal front-engine, rear-wheel-drive platform powered by a silky-smooth e-SkyActiv G 3.3L inline-6 turbo engine paired with a 48V M Hybrid Boost system. Pushing out 280 hp and 450 Nm of torque through an 8-speed automatic transmission, it delivers an effortless, immediate response that embodies Mazda’s Jinba-Ittai philosophy of car and driver moving as one.

The CX-60 3.3L MHEV is offered in two curated exterior and interior pairings :

• Rhodium White: Paired with a Pure White interior, featuring a Bar-type front grille, black machined 20-inch wheels, and traditional Japanese Kakenui and Musubu woven cabinet stitching.
• Machine Gray: Paired with a Tan interior, boasting a sporty Honeycomb front grille, gloss-black 20-inch alloy wheels, and premium leather refinements.
