2026 Mazda CX-5 priced at RM171,510 OTR in Malaysia – third-generation SUV with 2.5L engine; launching Oct 8
It looks like Bermaz Motor has revealed pricing for theall-new Mazda CX-5ahead of the SUV’s launch tomorrow onOctober 8, 2026. On Mazda Malaysia’s official website, there’s an updated price list that seemingly includes both the third- (KM) and second-generation (KF) models – note the internal variant codes.When theorder books opened for the latest CX-5 in June, we were told that the SUV would have an estimated price of RM170,000. Based on the most recent price list, the official asking price is RM171,510.40 on-the-road without insurance, which isn’t too far from the estimate.Just one variant, the 2.5G High, is offered here, and it comes with a sunroof as standard. Full specifications will be revealed on launch day, but we know that the SUV will come with a 2.5 litre naturally-aspirated inline-four petrol engine.What isn’t confirmed is if the engine is paired with a 24-volt mild hybrid system, which is the case in Japan. Over there, the e-Skyactiv G 2.5 engine is joined by a lithium-ion battery and an integrated starter generator (ISG), the latter rated at 6.5 PS (5.4 hp or 4 kW) and 60.5 Nm of torque. Together, the total system output is 178 PS (176 hp or 131 kW) and 237 Nm, with a six-speed automatic transmission sending drive to either the front or all four wheels.The Philippines also gets this mild hybrid powertrain, but in other markets like Australia and Indonesia, the CX-5 comes with the non-electrified Skyactiv G 2.5 engine making either 179 PS (177 hp or 132 kW) and 240 Nm (Indonesia) or up to 188 PS (185 hp or 138 kW) and 257 Nm (Australia; RON 95).Loading 2 photos…As is the case with most Mazda vehicles, the CX-5 comes with a five-year/100,000-km manufacturer warranty and free maintenance package as well as Activ-e window film.Compared to the locally-assembled (CKD), second-generation model, the newer CX-5 at RM171,510.40 is RM6,550 more expensive than the KF-generation 2.5G 2WD High (2026 model year) at RM164,960.40. Is the extra worth the larger size, increased interior space and the massive new touchscreen that sees a severe cut down on physical controls? Over 600 people think so, according to amarket insight report.GALLERY: 2026 Mazda CX-5 at the Kuala Lumpur International Mobility ShowLoading 68 photos…Add paultan.org as a preferred source on Google SearchAddFollow paultan.org on Google NewsFollow
