How much does the 2019 Mazda CX-5 cost?

Prices have softened 3.14% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,214 listings available, which suggests you have a solid pool of used CX-5s to compare.

Is the 2019 Mazda CX-5 a good car?

Yes — the 2019 Mazda CX-5 earns a 4.8/5 user rating and an 8.3/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Cost effectiveness, and Safety.

Owners consistently praise its value, luxury feel, great handling, and impressive fuel efficiency. The feedback also points to strong interior quality and safety features, which fits a compact SUV aimed at shoppers who want a more premium feel without moving into a luxury badge.

The main trade-offs are the unintuitive technology and the underwhelming base engine. That means you may like it most if you care more about design, driving enjoyment, and everyday usefulness than about the slickest interface or the quickest acceleration.

The model’s 36.7% good and great deal share suggests there are still worthwhile listings to find if you shop carefully.

Is the 2019 Mazda CX-5 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.8/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with many drivers saying they feel good about the CX-5 over the long term. That confidence is reinforced by the way owners describe its value, safety, and overall satisfaction.

The expert assessment also supports that impression by emphasizing strong safety coverage and a well-rounded package. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about broad reliability concerns and more about choosing a well-kept example with the right equipment and condition.

What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Mazda CX-5?

At 64.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a careful inspection of bodywork, paint, and panel alignment. It also makes sense to focus on how the cabin, electronics, and safety equipment have held up, since those are the areas that most affect day-to-day satisfaction.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base Sport trim includes LED headlights, a push-button ignition, a 7-inch touchscreen, and a strong safety suite, while higher trims add keyless entry, a power driver’s seat, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, leather upholstery, navigation, and eventually luxury touches like ambient lighting, real wood trim, a 360-degree camera, and parking sensors. The base trim is the one most likely to feel light on convenience and tech.
• Powertrain: Most trims use a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated 4-cylinder with a 6-speed automatic and 187 horsepower, while the Grand Touring Reserve and Signature add a turbocharged version with much more power and torque.
• Safety package: Mazda’s i-ActiveSense suite is standard across the range and includes automatic headlights, wipers, and high beams; lane-departure warning and assist; adaptive cruise control; and forward-collision warning with mitigation. The top Signature trim adds the 360-degree camera and parking sensors.
• Infotainment: The CX-5 uses a 7-inch touchscreen with MazdaConnect, and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard above the base Sport trim. The system is responsive, though the scroll-wheel interface may not suit everyone.
• Fuel efficiency: The base engine is rated at 25 mpg city, 31 highway, and 28 combined, while the turbocharged setup is rated at 22 mpg city, 27 highway, and 24 combined.

Which 2019 Mazda CX-5 trim should I buy?

The 2019 Mazda CX-5 is offered in 5 trim levels: Sport, Touring, Grand Touring, Grand Touring Reserve, and Signature.

Here's the short version:

• Sport: This is the least expensive way into the CX-5, and it already brings LED headlights, a push-button ignition, a 7-inch touchscreen, and the full standard safety suite. It makes sense if you want the lowest entry price, but it is also the trim most affected by the lack of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
• Touring: This trim adds the convenience features many shoppers will notice every day, including keyless entry, a power driver’s seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, rear vents, heated front seats, extra USB ports, and an upgraded stereo. It is the best-value choice for many buyers because it adds meaningful comfort without jumping into the pricier luxury-oriented trims.
• Grand Touring: This version layers on adaptive headlights, LED fog lights, leather upholstery, an upgraded driver display, and navigation. It suits you if you want a more upscale cabin and more premium lighting and display features.
• Grand Touring Reserve: This is the first trim with the turbocharged engine, and it also adds a head-up display, power-folding mirrors, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and a windshield wiper de-icer. Choose it if you want the stronger powertrain and cold-weather comfort features.
• Signature: This top trim adds ambient cabin lighting, upgraded leather upholstery, real wood trim, a 360-degree camera, and front and rear parking sensors. It is the right pick if you want the most luxurious CX-5 experience and the most parking assistance.

The safety package is standard across the lineup, while the 360-degree camera and parking sensors are reserved for the Signature.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Mazda CX-5?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you stay disciplined.

• Deal availability: 36.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,214 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.14% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 64.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $18,190, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2019 Mazda CX-5's resale value?

The current average of $18,464 sits slightly below last year's $19,061.

That decline suggests the CX-5 has softened a bit in the used market, which can be good news if you are buying now but less favorable if you are planning to sell soon. A lower current average can also mean future resale gains may be more gradual unless demand strengthens.

Even so, the model’s strong reputation for value, safety, and driving enjoyment should help it remain appealing to used shoppers. Well-kept examples with desirable equipment are likely to hold attention better than stripped or heavily worn ones.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.8/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2019 Mazda CX-5 safe?

The 2019 Mazda CX-5 earns Top Safety Pick+ recognition from IIHS and five-star ratings in nearly every NHTSA category, with a four-star rollover rating.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Mazda’s i-ActiveSense suite is standard across the range and includes automatic headlights, wipers, and high beams; lane-departure warning and assist; adaptive cruise control; and forward-collision warning with mitigation. The top Signature trim adds a 360-degree camera and parking sensors.

The main caveat is the rollover result, which is the one weaker point in an otherwise strong safety profile. If safety is a top priority, that is worth noting, but the overall package remains a major strength.

Should I buy a 2019 Mazda CX-5 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2019 if:

• 36.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 64.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.14% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Mazda added Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, improved handling, and a turbocharged engine for top trims.

Consider the 2018 if:

• At $16,412, the 2018 costs less than the current year's $18,464 average.
• It delivers a polished, enjoyable driving experience with a premium-leaning feel.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $19,590, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $18,464 average.
• It leans further into premium materials and refinement.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of value, safety, and updated tech, the 2019 is the smart default. If your budget is tighter, the 2018 can save money while still delivering much of the CX-5’s appeal.

How does the 2019 Mazda CX-5 compare to the 2019 Honda CR-V?

Our experts score the 2019 Mazda CX-5 8.3/10 and the 2019 Honda CR-V 8/10.

The CX-5 has the edge if you care most about driving enjoyment, style, and a more premium feel. The CR-V counters with slightly better fuel economy, more listings, and a higher average used price, which can matter if you want more selection or are comparing market depth.
