2026 Mazda CX-5 KM0HA0 G25 SKYACTIV-Drive i-ACTIV AWD Akera Rhodium White 6 Speed Sports Automatic

2026 Mazda CX-5 Akera.

This new-generation Mazda CX-5 Akera combines a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre petrol engine with four-wheel drive and a six-speed sports automatic transmission. Its specification is aimed at providing a well-equipped SUV experience without losing the straightforward usability that makes the CX-5 a practical everyday wagon. The Rhodium White exterior gives the vehicle a clean, contemporary appearance, while the Akera grade brings a substantial level of comfort, convenience and driver assistance equipment.

The 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine is paired with Mazda's SKYACTIV-Drive transmission and i-ACTIV AWD system. Four-wheel drive adds traction management capability across changing road conditions, while the automatic gearbox is designed for uncomplicated urban driving and relaxed longer-distance travel. Selectable driving modes, hill-holder assistance and an electric park brake further support the vehicle's broad range of driving situations. The listed fuel-consumption figures are 9.2L/100km in urban driving, 6.4L/100km extra urban and 7.4L/100km combined.

Inside, the cabin is configured for five occupants and includes partial leather seating, electric front seats and heating for both rows. The driver and passenger seats also feature ventilation, while the driver's seat has electric lumbar adjustment. Two-zone climate control, rear air conditioning, a heated steering wheel and a heated front windscreen add useful comfort in different conditions. The second row reclines and splits to fold, allowing the interior to adapt between passenger carrying and larger loads. A hands-free power tailgate, cargo cover and roof rails add further day-to-day functionality.

Technology is well represented throughout the cabin. A full digital instrument display works with a head-up information display, while the colour multifunction control screen provides access to the vehicle's audio and connected functions. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless device charging, Bluetooth and USB connectivity support convenient use of compatible devices. The audio system includes digital radio and a 12-speaker premium sound system, giving the cabin a more engaging environment for regular commuting or extended trips.

The Akera's equipment also places considerable emphasis on visibility and active safety. Front, rear and side vision cameras are complemented by front and rear parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic warnings and a door-exit warning system. Forward and reversing collision mitigation, pedestrian avoidance with braking, lane-departure warning, active lane keeping and driver-attention detection form part of the driver-assistance package. Adaptive cruise control with lead-vehicle start assistance, road-sign recognition and active high-beam headlamps help reduce workload on longer drives, while LED headlamps and daytime running lamps improve illumination and visibility.

Exterior details include 19-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, LED tail lamps, a rear roof spoiler and an electric glass roof. Keyless proximity entry, a starter button, folding heated door mirrors and remote power-window operation add convenience around the vehicle. With five doors, five seats, a split-folding rear bench and a braked towing capacity of 1,800kg, this CX-5 presents a versatile balance of passenger space, equipment and everyday practicality.
