Mazda lineup.

Mazda tunes its cars for steering feel and finishes its cabins with care. Today that means an SUV lineup running from the CX-30 to the three-row CX-90, an all-new 2026 CX-5, and the MX-5 Miata.

By The Model Black · Updated October 7, 2026

Every new Mazda carries a 3 year / 36,000 mile basic warranty and 5 year / 60,000 mile powertrain coverage.

Mazda CX-5 Hybrid

Expected 2027

The redesigned CX-5 adds Mazda's first fully in-house hybrid, built around the new Skyactiv-Z engine and a real geared automatic instead of a droning e-CVT.

Questions.

What is the cheapest new Mazda?

The Mazda3 sedan starts around $25K, with the CX-30 SUV about a thousand more, and the CX-30 includes standard AWD. Plus each dealership's own documentary fee (not a government fee), taxes, and government fees. When a participating dealership lists one on The Model Black, the listing shows your estimated monthly payment with local taxes and fees included, so you can compare them apples to apples.

Which Mazdas have standard AWD?

The CX-30, CX-5, CX-50, CX-70, and CX-90 all come standard with i-Activ AWD, and the Mazda3 turbo includes it too. Only the base Mazda3 trims and the rear-drive Miata skip it.

What is the difference between the CX-5 and CX-50?

The all-new 2026 CX-5 is the refined family pick: bigger cabin, giant screen, smoother ride. The CX-50 is the adventure pick: lower and wider, trail-tuned drive modes, available all-terrain tires, plus hybrid and 256 hp turbo options the CX-5 doesn't offer yet. When participating dealerships list both, The Model Black shows the estimated monthly payment on each, so the choice is about mission, not math.

Does Mazda make a hybrid?

Yes. The CX-50 Hybrid delivers up to 38 mpg with standard AWD, and the CX-70 and CX-90 offer plug-in hybrid versions with around 26 miles of electric-only range. More hybrids are coming as Mazda electrifies the lineup.

Which Mazda is best for a family with three rows?

The CX-90 is the only 3-row, seating six to eight depending on configuration. If you don't need the third row, the CX-70 gives you the same chassis and power with a massive cargo area instead. Both tow up to 5,000 lbs.
