The highly anticipated third-generation Mazda CX-5 has been spotted undergoing testing, offering our first glimpse of its revamped design. The spy images reveal a design language that borrows heavily from the CX-60 and CX-80, suggesting a more sophisticated and upscale aesthetic.
A new spy image, purportedly of the all-new Mazda CX-5 undergoing testing, has surfaced on social media, offering our first glimpse of the highly anticipated SUV. While Mazda has confirmed the CX-5 's renewal for a third generation , details have been scarce until now. The image, shared by @sapphireallroad on Instagram, was reportedly taken near Mazda 's North American headquarters in Irvine, California.
Although blurry, it reveals a design language that appears to borrow heavily from the CX-60 and CX-80, particularly in the front grille and overall proportions. Unlike the Arata concept, which previewed some CX-5 design elements last year, the spy image shows a more conventional SUV silhouette, with a longer wheelbase than the current model and a rounded rear section from the C-pillar back.Speculation suggests the third-generation CX-5 will retain its single-digit moniker but feature a similar engine lineup to its siblings, including hybrid and plug-in hybrid options. Notably, a recent report claims the new CX-5 will not be available with a diesel engine. Furthermore, the debut date for the CX-5 has been reportedly moved up from the initially anticipated 2026 to a timeframe closer to September or November of this year, with sales commencing shortly thereafter. This accelerated timeline underscores the importance of the CX-5 to Mazda's global sales strategy, as it remains a best-seller despite its age. While specific details remain shrouded in secrecy, expect more information to emerge in the coming months

Sexually Explicit Deepfakes to Become Criminal Offence in BritainThe British government announced plans to criminalize the creation and sharing of sexually explicit deepfakes, aiming to combat the surge in such imagery targeting women and girls. Deepfakes are AI-generated videos, images, or audio clips that appear real, often used to digitally alter pornographic content to resemble someone else without their consent. The new offence will address a growing issue, with image-based abuse using deepfakes increasing over 400% since 2017, according to the UK-based Revenge Porn Helpline. The government also plans to introduce new offences for taking intimate images without consent and installing equipment with the intent to commit these offences, carrying potential prison sentences of up to two years. Tech platforms hosting abusive images will face stricter scrutiny and significant penalties.
