How much does the 2019 Mazda CX-5 cost?

Prices have softened 2.28% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,045 listings available, which suggests you have a meaningful amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2019 Mazda CX-5 a good car?

Yes — the 2019 Mazda CX-5 earns a 4.83/5 user rating and an 8.33/10 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 review summary also points to strong interior quality and safety features, which fits the CX-5’s role as a compact SUV that feels more polished than basic transportation.

The main trade-offs are the unintuitive technology and the underwhelming base engine. That matters most if you want easy-to-use infotainment or stronger everyday acceleration without stepping up to a pricier trim.

With the CX-5 positioned as a stylish, premium-leaning compact SUV, it makes the most sense if you want something that feels upscale without moving into luxury-brand pricing. 33.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there is still room to shop selectively.

Is the 2019 Mazda CX-5 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.83/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner summary points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with buyers especially appreciating the CX-5’s value, safety features, and overall quality. That kind of feedback usually matters more than a single spec sheet when you’re trying to judge how a used SUV will hold up over time.

The expert review also reinforces that impression by describing the CX-5 as a vehicle that delivers a lot of car for the money while remaining polished and well-rounded. The cost-effectiveness commentary adds that even the top trim still feels like a strong deal, which supports the idea that Mazda built this model to age well in ownership terms.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about a known durability problem and more about choosing a poorly maintained example or one with features you may outgrow.

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

At 66.3% 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, panel alignment, and repair quality. It also makes sense to focus on how the cabin, infotainment, and safety equipment function, since those are the areas most likely to affect your 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 the Touring adds keyless entry, a power driver’s seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, rear climate vents, heated front seats, two more USB ports, and an upgraded stereo. The Grand Touring adds adaptive headlights, LED fog lights, leather upholstery, an upgraded driver display, and navigation, while the Grand Touring Reserve adds the turbocharged engine, head-up display, power-folding mirrors, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and a windshield wiper de-icer. The Signature adds ambient cabin lighting, upgraded leather upholstery, real wood trim, a 360-degree camera, and parking sensors front and rear.
• Powertrain: Most trims use a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated 4-cylinder with a 6-speed automatic and 187 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque. The Grand Touring Reserve and Signature use a turbocharged version with up to 250 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, or 227 horsepower on lower-octane fuel.
• 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 and mitigation. The 360-degree camera and parking sensors are reserved for the Signature.
• Infotainment: The CX-5 uses a 7-inch touchscreen, and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard on everything above the base Sport trim. The MazdaConnect system is attractive and 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. The turbocharged setup is rated at 22 mpg city and 27 highway, for 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 entry point, and it already gives you LED headlights, a push-button ignition, a 7-inch touchscreen, and the full standard safety suite. It makes sense if you want the lowest price, but the lack of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay is the biggest reason to move up.
• Touring: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds the convenience and comfort features most people 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.
• Grand Touring: Choose this if you want a more upscale feel, with leather upholstery, adaptive headlights, LED fog lights, an upgraded driver display, and navigation. It’s the trim that starts to lean more premium without jumping all the way to the turbo models.
• Grand Touring Reserve: This is the first trim with the turbocharged engine, so it’s the one to buy if stronger acceleration matters most. You also get 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.
• Signature: This is the luxury-leaning choice, with ambient cabin lighting, upgraded leather, real wood trim, a 360-degree camera, and parking sensors front and rear. It’s the most complete version, but it makes the most sense if you want the richest cabin and the most parking assistance.

The safety suite is standard across the lineup, while the 360-degree camera and parking sensors are limited to 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’re patient.

• Deal availability: 33.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,045 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.28% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 66.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $18,196, 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 $18,913 sits slightly below last year's $19,355.

That decline suggests the market has cooled a bit, which can help you as a buyer now but may temper near-term resale gains if you plan to sell soon. For a future seller, the key takeaway is that the CX-5 is holding value reasonably well rather than collapsing, which is a good sign for a mainstream SUV.

Its strong reputation for value, style, and safety should continue to support demand. Well-kept examples with desirable equipment are likely to remain easier to move than stripped or poorly maintained ones.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.83/5, 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 honors from IIHS and five-star ratings in nearly every NHTSA category, with a four-star rating in rollover.

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 and mitigation. That means you do not need to move up the trim ladder to get the core driver-assistance features.

The main caveat is the rollover result, which is the one weak point in an otherwise strong crash-test profile. The 360-degree camera and parking sensors are limited to the Signature trim, so buyers who want those extra aids need to shop accordingly.

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:

• 33.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 66.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.28% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.83/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Mazda’s updates this year improved handling, added smartphone connectivity, and brought more power to the top trims.

Consider the 2018 if:

• At $16,772, the 2018 costs less than the current year's $18,913 average.
• It emphasizes style and driving enjoyment, with a more affordable entry point.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $20,283, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $18,913 average.
• It leans further into premium feel with a more upscale cabin and broader appeal.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, safety, and updated features, the 2019 is the smart default. If your budget is tighter, the 2018 can save you money, while the 2020 makes sense if you want to spend more for a newer-feeling premium experience.
