How much does the 2022 Mazda CX-5 cost?

Prices have softened 5.66% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,979 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for shoppers comparing trims and prices.

Is the 2022 Mazda CX-5 a good car?

Yes — it earns a 4.9/5 user rating and a 7.7/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 10/10.

Drivers consistently praise its smooth ride, excellent safety features, and comfortable interior, and many also like the strong turbocharged performance. The model’s upscale feel and affordability come through clearly in owner feedback, while the expert review highlights its stylish design and fun-to-drive character.

The trade-offs are just as clear: the back seat is cramped, cargo space is limited, and the technology can be unintuitive. For you, that means the CX-5 makes the most sense if you value driving enjoyment and a more premium feel over maximum space and the easiest infotainment setup.

Good and great deals account for 38.0% of listings, so there is still room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 Mazda CX-5 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.9/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with repeated praise for the CX-5’s smooth ride, excellent safety features, and overall satisfaction over time. The expert review also emphasizes the SUV’s solid engineering and the sense of durability that comes from Mazda’s quieter, smoother, and more refined setup.

Mazda’s standard maintenance coverage adds a small ownership perk, and the model’s strong safety and satisfaction profile support confidence for used buyers. Even so, you should still check service records and condition carefully, since long-term reliability always depends on how the previous owner maintained the vehicle.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 77.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a vehicle history report on any listing you like, even if it appears clean at first glance. A pre-purchase inspection is especially important on a used SUV like this, because you want to confirm that the drivetrain, electronics, and safety systems are all working as expected. Focus on interior condition too, since the CX-5’s cabin quality is part of its appeal and worn materials can change the value equation quickly.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base CX-5 2.5 S gives you the core package, but higher trims add meaningful upgrades such as adaptive headlights on the 2.5 S Premium and premium interior touches on the Signature. The top Signature trim also adds body-color lower exterior trim, Nappa leather upholstery, real wood trim, and polished metallic accents, so it is the clear choice if you want the most upscale feel.
• 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 raises output to 256 hp and 320 pound-feet on premium gas, or 227 hp and 310 lb-ft on regular gas. All CX-5s have standard all-wheel drive, and the turbo version is the one to consider if you want stronger acceleration.
• Safety package: 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 adaptive headlights, and the Signature adds a surround-view camera system, front and rear parking sensors, automatic rear braking, a driver monitoring system, and Traffic Jam Assist.
• Infotainment: The CX-5 uses a Mazda Connect system with a 10.25-inch display. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, along with text-messaging support, E911 automatic emergency notification, and Mazda Connected Services. The screen is not touch-sensing, and there is no natural voice recognition.
• Fuel efficiency: The 2.5 S returns 26 mpg in combined driving, while the 2.5 Turbo is rated at 24 mpg in combined driving.

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 if you want the lowest-cost way into the CX-5 lineup, but it is mainly about getting the core driving experience and standard safety equipment. If you want the best value, the lower 2.5 S trims are the ones to compare first because they keep the CX-5’s strengths without pushing the price too high.
• Select: This is the first step up from the base model and is worth considering if you want a little more equipment without jumping too far in price. It suits shoppers who want a more comfortable daily driver while staying focused on value.
• Preferred: This trim is a smart middle-ground choice if you want a more polished feel than the entry trims provide. It is a good fit if you want to balance comfort, features, and price.
• Carbon Edition: This trim is for you if style matters and you want a more distinctive look without going all the way to the top of the range. It adds visual appeal while staying within the more affordable side of the lineup.
• Premium: This is the trim to target if you want a stronger blend of comfort and technology. It also brings the Mazda Intelligent Drive Select drive modes, which adds more versatility to the CX-5’s already engaging character.
• Premium Plus: This is the best-value choice for shoppers who want a more complete luxury-leaning experience without paying Signature money. It builds on the Premium trim and is the sweet spot for many used buyers.
• Signature: This is the top choice if you want the most upscale CX-5 experience. It adds the richest interior materials and the most advanced safety and convenience features, including the surround-view camera system and Traffic Jam Assist.
• base: The 2.5 Turbo base trim is the one to choose if you want turbocharged performance and are willing to pay more for it. It mixes and matches equipment from the 2.5 S Carbon Edition and Premium Plus versions, so it is the right pick for buyers who care most about power.

Mazda reserves the remaining safety features for the top-of-the-line Signature trim, so if advanced driver-assistance equipment matters most, that trim is the one to prioritize.

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

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently but should move quickly on strong listings.

• Deal availability: 38.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,979 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.66% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 77.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $22,989, 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 $22,989 sits slightly below last year's $24,369.

That softer pricing means the CX-5 is currently a better buy than it was a year ago, but it also suggests future sellers may need to be realistic about pricing. If you own one, the current market shows that demand is still healthy, but buyers are price-sensitive and have plenty of listings to compare.

The CX-5’s strong reputation for safety and owner satisfaction should help support resale demand over time. Well-kept examples with desirable trims and clean history reports are likely to hold their appeal better than neglected or heavily worn ones.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.9/5, 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 adaptive headlights, while the Signature trim gets a surround-view camera system, front and rear parking sensors, automatic rear braking, a driver monitoring system, and Traffic Jam Assist.

That safety equipment is a major strength, but the most advanced features are reserved for the top trim. If safety tech is a priority, you should pay close attention to trim level so you do not assume every CX-5 has the same equipment.

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:

• 38.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 77.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.66% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It adds a more premium feel, stronger safety, and improved driving dynamics.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $21,416, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $22,989 average.
• It offers strong value with enhanced tech and a new Carbon Edition.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $24,931, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $22,989 average.
• It is a largely carryover model with only minor updates.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of price, safety, and premium feel, the 2022 is the strongest all-around choice. If your budget is tighter, the 2021 is the smarter value play, while the 2023 makes sense only if you specifically want the newer model year and are comfortable paying more for a near-identical SUV.
