How much does the 2022 Mazda CX-5 cost?

Prices have softened 5.22% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,115 listings available, which suggests you have a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2022 Mazda CX-5 a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Mazda CX-5 earns a 4.88/5 user rating and a 7.67/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 10/10.

Drivers consistently praise its affordability, smooth ride, and excellent safety features, and many also like the comfortable interior and strong turbo performance. That lines up with the CX-5’s premium-leaning styling and engaging driving character, especially if you want a compact SUV that feels more upscale than basic transportation. The main trade-offs are the cramped back seat, limited cargo space, and technology that can be unintuitive.

With 39.2% of listings marked as good or great deals, you still have room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 Mazda CX-5 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.88/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with praise centered on the CX-5’s smooth ride, strong safety features, and overall satisfaction over time. The expert evaluation also emphasizes the SUV’s solid engineering and the way Mazda has improved the driving experience with a quieter, smoother, more composed chassis. Mazda also includes a generous complimentary three-year trial for connected services, which adds some ownership value early on.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about mechanical drama and more about living with the CX-5’s tighter packaging and tech quirks over time.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Mazda CX-5?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 80.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper records review. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on the condition of the interior, the infotainment system, and any signs of heavy use. Since the CX-5’s back seat and cargo area are known weak points, make sure the specific vehicle still fits your day-to-day needs.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The CX-5 2.5 S lineup starts with the base trim and adds Select, Preferred, Carbon Edition, Premium, and Premium Plus, while the 2.5 Turbo lineup includes base and Signature. The base trims get the core upscale look and standard safety equipment, but higher trims add more comfort and convenience features, and the Signature brings the most luxurious presentation.
• Powertrain: The 2.5 S uses a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 187 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque, while the 2.5 Turbo delivers 256 hp and 320 pound-feet on premium gas or 227 hp and 310 lb-ft on regular gas. All versions use standard all-wheel drive, and the turbo models trade fuel efficiency for stronger acceleration.
• Safety package: The standard i-Activsense suite includes adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. The 2.5 S Premium adds adaptive headlights, while the Signature adds a surround-view camera, front and rear parking sensors, automatic rear braking, a driver monitoring system, and Traffic Jam Assist.
• Infotainment: The CX-5 uses a 10.25-inch Mazda Connect display, and it is not touch-sensing. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, along with text-messaging support, E911 automatic emergency notification, and Mazda Connected Services. Starting with 2.5 S Premium, you also get a 10-speaker Bose sound system and SiriusXM satellite radio.
• Fuel efficiency: The 2.5 S returns 26 mpg in combined driving, while the 2.5 Turbo is rated at 24 mpg combined.

Which 2022 Mazda CX-5 trim should I buy?

The 2022 Mazda CX-5 is offered in 8 trim levels: base, Select, Preferred, Carbon Edition, Premium, Premium Plus, Signature, and base.

Here's the short version:

• base: This is the entry point for both the 2.5 S and 2.5 Turbo lineups, but the 2.5 Turbo base mixes in equipment from higher trims, so it is not a simple stripped-down model. If you want the turbo engine without stepping all the way to Signature, this is the most direct way in.
• Select: This is the first clear step up in the 2.5 S lineup and is a sensible choice if you want more equipment without chasing luxury touches. It fits buyers who want the CX-5’s style and driving feel at a more approachable price.
• Preferred: This trim is a strong middle-ground choice for shoppers who want a better balance of comfort and value. It adds enough polish to make the CX-5 feel more premium without pushing you into the pricier upper trims.
• Carbon Edition: This is the style-forward pick in the 2.5 S range, aimed at buyers who care about appearance and a more distinctive look. It makes sense if you want the CX-5’s upscale vibe to stand out a bit more.
• Premium: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds meaningful upgrades, including the 10-speaker Bose audio system and SiriusXM. It also gets the Mi-Drive modes, making it a smart step up if you want more features without overspending.
• Premium Plus: Choose this if you want a more fully equipped 2.5 S with the richer feature set that comes with the upper end of the lineup. It is the trim to target if you want the most complete non-turbo experience.
• Signature: This is the luxury-leaning choice, with premium Nappa leather, real wood trim, polished metallic accents, and the most advanced safety equipment. It is the right pick if you want the CX-5 to feel closest to a compact luxury SUV.
• base: The 2.5 Turbo base is the performance-oriented entry point, and it already borrows equipment from higher trims. If you want the turbo engine and a stronger feature mix without going straight to Signature, this is the one to watch.

The standard i-Activsense safety package is comprehensive across the lineup, while the extra driver-assistance features are reserved for the upper trims.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Mazda CX-5?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently but still move quickly on the right listing.

• Deal availability: 39.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,115 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.22% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 80.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $23,127, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Mazda CX-5's resale value?

The current average of $23,486 sits slightly below last year's $24,780.

That softer pricing suggests the CX-5 has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price today. A model that is already trending lower can be easier to position competitively later, especially if it remains desirable in the used market. The CX-5’s strong reputation for satisfaction and safety should help support demand when it is time to sell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.88/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Mazda CX-5 safe?

The 2022 Mazda CX-5 earns a Top Safety Pick+ rating from IIHS.

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

The standard i-Activsense suite includes adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. Higher trims add more advanced protection, including adaptive headlights on the 2.5 S Premium and a surround-view camera, parking sensors, automatic rear braking, a driver monitoring system, and Traffic Jam Assist on the Signature.

Should I buy a 2022 Mazda CX-5 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 39.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 80.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.22% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.88/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Mazda’s updates make it feel more premium, quieter, and more composed than earlier CX-5s.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $21,818, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $23,486 average.
• It offers strong value, updated tech, and a new Carbon Edition.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $25,475, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $23,486 average.
• It adds little beyond a new premium paint option.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of price, safety, and premium feel, the 2022 is the sweet spot. If your budget is tighter, the 2021 is the better value play; if you want a newer example and can pay more, the 2023 is still appealing but not meaningfully upgraded.
