European model with options shown. Available early 2026. Features may vary.

Mazda develops its vehicles to respond like a seamless extension of the driver’s movements. This philosophy carries forward in the all-new 2026 Mazda CX-5, which also introduces meaningful updates across design, functionality, and feature set. Most notably, a new center touchscreen display represents a shift in how drivers can interact with their CX-5.

While some drivers associate larger touchscreens with distraction, our latest system was engineered with two clear objectives: reduce cognitive load and improve usability. Today, we’ll explain how it works, why the 2026 CX-5 now features a larger center touchscreen display, and how it supports our mission to create intuitive and joyful driving experiences. Visit Mazda of Port Charlotte in Port Charlotte, FL to experience it for yourself.

Does the 2026 Mazda CX-5 have a touchscreen?

Yes. The 2026 Mazda CX-5 features a new touchscreen interface that centralizes infotainment, navigation, climate control, vehicle settings, and more. Enhanced voice recognition and steering wheel-mounted controls complement the display; they are intentionally designed to work together. High-frequency adjustments, such as audio system volume and media selection, remain within thumb’s reach on the steering wheel, while broader customization and system controls are organized within the larger, clearer display for intuitive access for both the driver and front passenger.

2026 Mazda CX-5 Screen Size

The 2026 Mazda CX-5 comes standard with a 12.9-inch center touchscreen display and a larger 15.6-inch display is available on the CX-5 2.5 S Premium Plus. Both display sizes allow for clearer icons, improved contrast, and legible menus. These choices are intended to contribute to faster recognition, simplified navigation inputs, and improved “glanceability” overall.

Stay connected and focused with an available 15.6-inch touchscreen center display, the largest ever offered on a Mazda vehicle.

What’s new with the 2026 CX-5 infotainment screen?

Beyond its larger physical size, the center displays incorporate a new interface that gives users an intuitive and familiar smartphone-like experience. Users can engage with the system by using familiar tapping, swiping, and pinching motions on the screen to control content. Google built-in (vehicle connectivity complimentary for 1 year) is also included, allowing users to control both content and vehicle features with voice commands through Google Assistant.¹

Steering wheel-mounted controls also continue to be part of Mazda’s multifaceted and cohesive human-machine interface (HMI) philosophy to minimize distractions. And, Apple CarPlay^® integration for your iPhone^® and Android Auto™ for your Android™ phone are still standard for an intuitive smartphone mirroring experience.² Every element of the interface was developed to present information clearly, make it more intuitive for passengers to use, and reduce the time drivers spend looking away from the road or taking their hands off the steering wheel.

Why did Mazda remove physical buttons and controls?

Modern drivers expect intuitive smartphone-style layouts, with customizable home screens, widgets, and features like pinch-to-zoom navigation. Many are already familiar with touch-first interfaces, so aligning the vehicle experience with this logic reduces the learning curve without sacrificing functionality.

At the same time, the CX-5 is not a “touch-only” vehicle. Core functions remain accessible through tactile steering wheel controls, while enhanced voice functionality with Google Assistant² — with the option to upgrade to Google Gemini³ coming in a future update — enables a broader range of natural language conversation. This balanced approach maintains physical feedback where it matters most while streamlining broader controls into a streamlined digital interface.

What drivers are saying about the touchscreen

While some drivers have expressed nostalgia for the tactile feel of the Commander knob and other physical controls, feedback has been largely positive. Industry journalists have also seen the new infotainment system and screen as a step forward:

“The interface is snappy and responsive, and the user interface is super easy to use.”

— Industry Press Review, 2026 Mazda CX-5 Infotainment System

We recognize that introducing a digital interface represents a significant change. To ease this transition, our updated system was carefully designed with interfaces, integrations, and alternative control methods crafted to minimize the learning curve and make the adjustment as seamless as possible.

Infotainment modernization plays an essential role in continuously advancing the quality of our vehicles. The new system also elevates the advanced technology of the Mazda CX-5 with Google built-in,⁴ seamless Apple CarPlay^® integration for your iPhone^® and Android Auto^™ compatibility,¹ a larger display, refined voice controls, and integrated climate and camera controls.

How the new CX-5 touchscreen enhances driver awareness, convenience, and more

Safety is not defined by whether controls are physical or digital. Rather, it depends on clarity, responsiveness, menu structure, redundancy, and thoughtful interaction design. With that in mind, the CX-5 interface incorporates larger touch targets, simplified menu pathways, fast system response times, and alternative control options through voice and steering wheel-mounted controls.

Clearer screen for faster recognition

Our engineering team has worked to design this interface in a way that reduces driver distractions, not amplify them. The new display is larger, dramatically improving visibility of navigation instructions, the backup camera, driver-assistance alerts, and system notifications. And certain controls, like the HVAC are docked to the bottom of the display to improve at-a-glance readability. Clearer information directly supports quicker comprehension and better decision-making.

Certain controls, like HVAC, are permanently docked to the bottom of the display — always accessible without navigating menus, designed for at-a-glance usability while in motion.

Voice + touch provides more flexibility

Our HMI doesn’t rely on touch alone to adjust settings. You can continue to use voice commands and/or steering wheel-mounted controls to supplement the native touchscreen interface. The result is that drivers can choose the most appropriate and natural method for a situation, such as voice control via Google Assistant on the highway.⁴

Steering wheel still controls core functions

While some of the broader customizations that aren’t adjusted every day are now accessible through the new touchscreen display, frequently changed settings remain available on your steering wheel. Media selection, volume adjustments, Mi-Drive (drive mode selection), and other common features are all still managed by buttons and controls on the steering wheel.

Seamless smartphone integration

The 2026 Mazda CX-5 continues to offer flexible smartphone integration, letting drivers choose Apple CarPlay^® integration for your iPhone^® and Android Auto^™ compatibility¹ to mirror their preferred device. Unlike some built-in systems that drop these familiar interfaces, Mazda keeps both options available alongside Google built-in and complimentary for 1 year.⁴

Designed for touch interaction, the display makes using Apple CarPlay^® integration for your iPhone^® and Android Auto^™ compatibility intuitive, reflecting the same touch-first experience drivers already know from their phones.

Responsive interface

The processing speeds of our HMI minimize input lag and confirmation delays. To put it another way, drivers don’t have to wait to watch and check whether a button they’ve pressed registered their click. So whether you’re inputting a new destination before you leave, changing climate control settings at a red light, or using the backup camera to exit a parking space, you can navigate our system confidently, promptly, and predictably.

Experience our new HMI: Shaped by direct customer feedback

We understand and recognize the sentiment around the value of tactile and physical controls in cars. As vehicles incorporate more advanced safety, connectivity, and comfort features, interface design must also evolve accordingly. The new human-machine interface in the 2026 CX-5 was developed to meet real customer needs in an intuitive, intentional, driver-focused manner, rather than simply and thoughtlessly transferring every function into a single screen.

The 2026 Mazda CX-5 touchscreen interface is more than just an aesthetic change; it’s a driver-focused evolution that blends the intuitive usability and design that benefits CX-5 customers. Once you experience the legibility, speed, and flexibility of the new system, its advantages become clear. The new Mazda CX-5 touchscreen display delivers intuitive connectivity, fast performance, and thoughtful design to make your driving experience as practical and seamless as possible.

At Mazda of Port Charlotte, we play host to a variety of certified and one-owner pre-owned Mazda cars. These segments boast their own respective advantages, and we’re here to discuss all the details. After you comb through this guide, lay the foundation for your purchase via our website’s helpful resources. Then, you can drive down Route 41 to iron out the details of your loan agreement. 

Certified vs One-Owner

To receive the go-ahead from our factory-trained technicians, certified Mazda models are required to undergo a 160-point inspection before being restored with genuine parts. They must also be less than six years old with fewer than 80,000 miles on their odometers. For your peace of mind while driving around Punta Gorda, your vehicle will come with Roadside Assistance and a 7-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty¹. Combine that with a 3-month trial to SiriusXM®², and this class of cars is certainly worth considering. Our one-owner models are also popular, since many of them were previously leased from us for as little as two years before being returned to the dealership. This will allow you to enjoy a low-mileage Mazda with some of the newest i-Activesense® technologies. We believe in transparency, so regardless of which class you choose, you’ll have a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™ to verify its credentials. 

Mazda Vehicles

Let’s switch gears and discuss our used Mazda inventory. We have something for everyone, so whether you spend your time commuting or adventuring to Ponce De Leon Park, we’ll be able to find an ideal match. Is gas efficiency a must? The Mazda3 Hatchback will allow you to maximize your savings at the pump through an athletic powertrain setup. For peak versatility, a compact SUV like the Mazda CX-5 or Mazda CX-50 will provide impeccable handling, horsepower, and torque. To step up your cargo capacities, the Mazda CX-70 two-row midsize SUV is an automotive powerhouse that demands respect.

The 2026 Mazda CX-50’s suite of i-Activsense® safety features have cemented its position as an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+¹. We at Mazda of Port Charlotte are here to discuss the compact SUV’s advantages to give you a sneak peek of what it can do for you while driving down the Coast of Lemon Bay. Before you stop by, use our Value Your Trade tool to earn an appraisal on your current car. 

Safety

Your wellbeing will be prioritized on the streets of Englewood, thanks to the standard Emergency Lane Keeping with Road Keep Assist² system in the Mazda CX-50. This feature uses radar and sensors to let you know when the SUV is veering off course. If you don’t correct the error in time, this technology will intervene with gentle braking and corrective steering to avoid deviating onto the shoulder. To prevent this from happening in the first place, the standard Driver Attention Alert³ chimes when it detects fatigued or distracted traveling patterns. When there are other commuters adjacent to your vehicle, the standard Blind Spot Monitoring System⁴ will let you know to prevent poorly timed lane changes. Lastly, the standard Rear View Monitor⁵ makes navigating tight spaces easy by providing a live feed of what’s happening behind the car on the standard 10.25-inch touchscreen. 

Performance

With these protective advancements in place, you can enjoy the capabilities of the standard 2.5L SKYACTIV®-G⁶ 4-cylinder engine in the 2026 Mazda CX-50 . With 87 octane premium unleaded fuel, this system is capable of generating 187 horsepower and 185 lb.-ft. of torque. To prevent pit stops while cruising to Cedar Point Environmental Park, the vehicle also provides a 24/30/26 MPG city/hwy/combined⁷ fuel economy. To kick things up a notch, upgrade to the 2.5L SKYACTIV®-G⁶ twin-scroll turbo 4-cylinder system to enjoy 256 horsepower and 320 lb.-ft. of torque with 93 octane gas. Despite this thrilling strength, a 23/29/25 MPG city/hwy/combined⁷ EPA-estimated rating will help you pass the pump, while the standard i-ACTIV AWD® system provides immense traction. 

Exterior

The Mazda CX-50 fuses form with function to boost your time spent on Highway 93. LED headlamps come standard, and you can upgrade these bulbs to employ the Adaptive Front-Lighting System. This swivels the lights based on the direction your steering wheel is pointed to help you see around corners on dark side streets. While you’re cruising, open the available panoramic moonroof to let your passengers stargaze at night. If you plan on conquering off-road trails, swap out the standard all-season tires for the available all-terrain treads. Pair that with the optional 8.6-inch ground clearance, and this SUV will be able to ford through shallow waters. If this model piques your interest, take a look at our ongoing incentives before scheduling an appointment.

We also showcase groundbreaking SUVs like the Mazda CX-30, Mazda CX-50, and Mazda CX-90 for those who are seeking versatility. Is your budget limited? When you choose a certified pre-owned Mazda, you’ll have a vehicle that has undergone a 160-point inspection before being restored with genuine parts. Pair that with a 7-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty¹ and Roadside Assistance, and you’ll leave our dealership feeling confident in your purchase.

We believe the enrollment process shouldn’t be a grueling experience that forces you to jump through hoops. When you arrive at our Finance Department, we’ll sit down with you to create an agreement that integrates into your lifestyle. We’ll discuss your budgetary restrictions, driving needs, and future goals, then reach out to our network of trusted lenders to find a package that covers your desired cars full cost. Have you recently been turned away based on a subpar credit score? That will not be the case with us, because we work with all financial backgrounds. In fact, we’ll create a plan of action that allows you to repair your credit standing while driving to Port Charlotte Beach Park in a Mazda you absolutely love.

Your vehicle is a serious investment and it’s important to treat it as an asset through routine maintenance.

They have years of experience with all makes and models, and use genuine parts to maintain your Mazda’s warranty and dependability. Plus, we provide 24/7 service drop-off and pickup to coincide with your busy schedule. Are you a DIY mechanic who’d like to work on your car from home?
