Mazda introduces E/E Architecture+ platform enabling over-the-air updates and advanced driver assistance systems in new CX-5
Mazda has launched its all-new CX-5 as the first model to feature the company’s next-generation electrical and electronic architecture, alongside an advanced human-machine interface with Google built-in as standard. The redesigned SUV introduces Mazda E/E Architecture+, which integrates electronic control units, software layers, communication networks and external servers to enable over-the-air feature updates and advanced driver assistance systems.
The new architecture forms the foundation for Mazda’s future software-defined vehicles and supports the CX-5’s reimagined cockpit design. The human-machine interface features an integrated touchscreen available in 12.9-inch or 15.6-inch sizes, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, and an enlarged head-up display, with physical buttons retained for essential functions to minimise driver distraction. Capacitive steering wheel switches consolidate functions including 360-degree view and Mi-Drive systems.
Google built-in comes as standard across all grades, launching with Google Assistant and scheduled for later upgrade to Google Gemini. The system enables voice control for climate adjustments and navigation, while Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility are also included. Select models feature a 12-speaker Bose premium audio system.
The exterior advances Mazda’s Kodo design language with revised proportions and a more confident stance. The CX-5 is powered by a 2.5-litre e-Skyactiv G petrol engine with Mazda M Hybrid technology. The model will reach European showrooms from December 2025, with prices starting from approximately €32,560 across Europe based on Polish market pricing.
