2024 Mazda CX-5 Changes: What to Expect

2024 Mazda CX-5 Changes: What to Expect

If you’ve been searching for news on the 2024 Mazda CX-5 changes like us, then you know that details about a 2024 edition of this popular Mazda compact crossover SUV are few and far between for the time being. Still, we can speculate about what a 2024 Mazda CX-5 will bring, based on the current model year and the expected life cycle of this crossover’s current generation.

See our 2024 Mazda CX-5 preview to learn what’s in store for 2024, including a new CX-5 trim level and color options.

Will There Be a 2024 Mazda CX-5?

There has been a lot of speculation swirling around the 2024 Mazda CX-5. Is Mazda discontinuing the CX-5 for 2024? If not, then when does the 2024 Mazda CX-5 come out? Will there be a 2024 Mazda CX-5 redesign?

Given that the Mazda CX-5 has been a sales leader for the automaker for many years, it’s no wonder that current and potential CX-5 drivers are wondering about the next iteration of this Mazda CUV.

Mazda has announced the 2024 Mazda CX-5 model will be arriving with a distinctive new trim level, but more on those details later. We anticipate an announcement on the availability of the 2024 model year of the venerable Mazda compact SUV shortly.

When is the 2024 Mazda CX-5 Release Date?

With the recent release of the all-new 2024 Mazda CX-90 three-row SUV and the upcoming debut of the 2024 Mazda CX-70 two-row midsize SUV, we suspect that news of the 2024 CX-5 release date will not make huge waves. After all, Mazda is focused on promoting its next-generation midsize SUVs powered by its new inline-6 engine and PHEV platform.

As the highly anticipated all-new 2024 Mazda CX-70 debut is yet to come, we should all expect the 2024 Mazda CX-5 release date to fall well before or well after the all-new CX-70 model arrives at Mazda showrooms. In fact, the 2024 Mazda CX-5 and its compact CUV stablemate, the 2024 Mazda CX-50, are likely to arrive on the scene with little fanfare, as the 2024 model year is all about the all-new CX-90 and CX-70 models.

Anticipated 2024 Mazda CX-5 Changes or Redesign

We do not expect significant changes to the CX-5 for 2024, and certainly not an all-new 2024 Mazda CX-5 redesign, given the two all-new Mazda CUVs already arriving for the 2024 model year.

The second-generation Mazda CX-5 received a substantial refresh for the 2022 model year. While this handsome crossover is certainly aging compared to newer models, the 2022 model changes have helped prolong the life of this second-generation CX-5 that debuted way back in the 2017 model year.

New 2024 Mazda CX-5 Colors and Trims?

Crossover SUV shoppers will see new 2024 Mazda CX-5 colors become available, both on this crossover’s sleek exterior and well-equipped interior. Mazda is known to introduce alternative interior colors and exterior colors to model lineups even when little else about the vehicle changes for the new model year.

How about 2024 Mazda CX-5 trim changes? As the end of the line approaches for the aging second-generation Mazda CX-5, we could see Mazda simplify or reduce the number of trim levels for 2024. If not, expect a similar trim lineup to the 2023 model to live on for next year, with little changes in the way of included equipment.

However, one new CX-5 trim level and interior and exterior color combination has already been announced for the 2024 model.

2024 Mazda CX-5 Carbon Turbo Announced

One thing is for sure: the arrival of the first-ever Mazda CX-5 Carbon Turbo edition for 2024. Mazda announced this new trim level for the 2024 CX-5, CX-30, and Mazda3 models to join the non-turbo Carbon Edition as a new trim level with a distinctive color combination.

The 2024 CX-5 Carbon Turbo is highlighted by its exclusive Zircon Sand Metallic paint color and black exterior accents matched with a Terracotta leather interior. Inside, the Terracotta upholstery is accented by black suede inserts, with the cabin finished with gunmetal-colored interior trim.

As the 2024 CX-5 Carbon Turbo name implies, it will be motivated by the CX-5 lineup’s available Skyactiv-G 2.5-liter Turbo engine, coupled with i-ACTIV AWD.

Awaiting the New Mazda CX-5 for 2024

If you’re one of the many motorists who still prefer the Mazda CX-5 to the more rugged Mazda CX-50 and have started shopping for a new CX-5, then the 2024 Mazda CX-5 release date is highly anticipated. Stay tuned for the full details about the new 2024 Mazda CX-5 changes, its arrival date, and what the future holds for this Mazda crossover.
