What will be the new Toyota RAV4 rival from Mazda: what is known about the inexpensive model

The inexpensive Mazda CX-5 crossover is performing well in the market and is very popular with buyers. But the company is already preparing a new rival to the Toyota RAV4 with a striking design and modern equipment. We already know something about this model.

Earlier, the automaker officially announced the 3rd generation Mazda CX-5. Work on the car is already underway. The TALK WHEELS channel fantasized about the model's design. It looks very bold, perhaps the production car will be something similar to this project.

Perhaps the design will have references to the Mazda Arata concept that was shown recently. It has become known that the new Mazda CX-5 will receive a hybrid system for the 2026 model year. The company focused on units of its own design.

However, there is also information about a hybrid powertrain from Toyota, as the two companies have a technical partnership. In addition, standard gasoline options for basic modifications are also expected.

The crossover segment seems to be dimensionless. And Mazda's success in this area has shown that such models can be brought to market almost endlessly. The compact models Mazda CX-30 and CX-50 are in demand.
