Mazda Motor Corporation announced it will launch the new CX-5 on May 21, 2026, and held a commemorative event on the same day. Actress Haruka Ayase, newly appointed as the brand ambassador, also took the stage. CEO Masahiro Moro explained that Ayase was chosen because her natural, warm, and strong-willed personality aligns with Mazda's values. For her first job as ambassador, Ayase reported live from inside the CX-5, highlighting its large display, spacious rear seats, and ample cargo space, which she demonstrated by loading it with camping gear. The lead developer and chief designer presented the car's three development concepts: "New Generation," "Emotional," and "Daily Comfort," emphasizing its blend of versatile design, comfort, and advanced technology.
