How much does the 2016 Mazda CX-5 cost?

Prices are up 3.59% year-over-year — a sign of continued demand for this model year.

There are 1,569 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2016 Mazda CX-5 a good car?

Yes — the 2016 Mazda CX-5 earns a 4.7/5 user rating, which points to strong owner satisfaction. Owners most often praise its blend of performance, comfort, and value for money, along with solid handling and good gas mileage. The overview also fits a buyer who wants a compact SUV with a sporty, car-like feel and practical everyday usefulness. With 34.3% of listings marked as good or great deals, you still have room to shop selectively.

Is the 2016 Mazda CX-5 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.7/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback also points to a dependable ownership experience for many drivers, with praise for fuel economy, comfort, and useful safety features. At the same time, some owners mention minor infotainment glitches, so you should expect the usual used-car variability and verify condition carefully before committing. For long-term ownership, the main risk is buying a neglected example with unresolved electrical or tech issues.

What should I look for when buying a used 2016 Mazda CX-5?

At 55.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and confirm whether any prior damage was repaired properly. Put inspection priority on body condition, panel alignment, and signs of electrical or infotainment problems. Because this model year has owner-reported engine and electrical concerns, a thorough pre-purchase inspection matters more than usual.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 Mazda CX-5?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile options.

• Deal availability: 34.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,569 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices are up 3.59% year-over-year.
• Clean inventory: 55.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $13,057, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2016 Mazda CX-5's resale value?

The current average of $14,014 sits slightly above last year's $13,528.

That upward move suggests the market has held steady enough to support resale value in the near term. If you buy well and keep the vehicle in strong condition, you should have a reasonable path to preserving value. Demand is helped by the model’s strong owner satisfaction and sporty appeal, which can make it easier to resell than a more ordinary compact SUV.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.7/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Should I buy a 2016 Mazda CX-5 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2016 if:

• 34.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 55.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices are up 3.59% year-over-year.
• Owners rate it 4.7/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $12,254, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $14,014 average.
• It emphasizes driving enjoyment and style over maximum utility.

Consider the 2017 if:

• At $15,823, the 2017 costs more than the current year's $14,014 average.
• It adds a more upscale feel while staying fun to drive.

The bottom line: The 2016 is the best all-around pick if you want a sporty compact SUV with strong owner approval and decent deal availability. If price is your top priority, the 2015 is the better value play; if you want a newer-feeling, more upscale version, the 2017 is worth stretching for.
