Design & Dimensions:
Exterior Refresh>
Builds on current Kodo design with sharper, more streamlined lines inspired by the CX‑60 and CX‑80—boasting slimmer LED headlights, a larger grille, squared-off wheel arches, and wraparound LED taillights

Size Increase:
A slightly longer wheelbase by ~100 mm (4–6 cm) enhances rear legroom and cargo space, though overall footprint remains similar to the current model.

Interior & Tech:
Cockpit Elevation>
Luxury touches inspired by larger siblings: soft-touch materials, Nappa leather, wood or metal trim, 12.3″ digital cluster, and up to a 13″ floating infotainment display, complete with wireless CarPlay/Android Auto and OTA updates.

Practical Comfort:
Features include tri-zone climate control, heated/ventilated front seats, ambient lighting, panoramic sunroof, memory seating, 360° camera, gesture tailgate, rear USB-C ports, and improved rear space and headroom.

Powertrains & Performance:
Base Options>
2.5 L Skyactiv‑G 4-cyl naturally aspirated (~187 hp) and a turbocharged 2.5 L producing ~256 hp and ~320 lb‑ft, both with mild-hybrid support and Mazda’s 8-speed automatic and G‑Vectoring Control Plus
Hybrid Versions>
Mild-Hybrid (MHEV): New in-house system paired with the 2.5 L engine provides better efficiency (~30 mpg combined).
PHEV (arriving ~2027): 2.5 L + electric motor(s) targeting around 310 hp, 35 mi EV range, ~75 MPGe

Future Engine:
The next-gen Skyactiv‑Z 2.5 L engine—more efficient and Euro 7/LEV IF/Tier 4 compliant—will likely debut with hybrid integration post-launch.

Safety & Driver Assists:
Mazda’s latest i‑Activsense suite offers upgraded features:
Adaptive cruise with lane-centering & traffic adapt
Improved collision avoidance (pedestrian/cyclist detection)
Intersection assist, emergency lane keeping
Driver attention monitoring, 360° camera, and rear cross-traffic brakes.
