How much does the 2022 Mazda CX-5 cost?

Prices have softened 5.05% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,068 listings available, which suggests you should have a workable range of choices. If you find a listing below $23,162.42, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

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. The trade-offs are familiar: the back seat is cramped, cargo space is limited, and the technology can be unintuitive. That makes it a strong fit if you want a compact SUV that feels more upscale and engaging than average, especially if you value style and driving enjoyment over maximum space. Only 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so the market still rewards careful shopping.

Is the 2022 Mazda CX-5 reliable?

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

User feedback points to a reliable, dependable feel, with owners describing it as a vehicle they can count on over time. The expert evaluation also emphasizes a solid, composed driving experience and a quieter, smoother ride that adds to the sense of durability. Mazda’s standard maintenance coverage includes a complimentary three-year trial for connected services, which adds some ownership convenience. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about mechanical drama and more about living with the CX-5’s tight rear seat and less intuitive tech.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 81.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because accident-free listings are common but not universal. Prioritize a thorough inspection of the cabin, infotainment controls, and cargo area, since the CX-5’s biggest compromises are space and usability. It also makes sense to confirm that the trim you’re considering has the features you want, because some equipment is reserved for higher versions.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup ranges from base versions to more upscale trims, and the higher trims add a more premium feel with features like Nappa leather, real wood trim, and body-color lower exterior trim on the top model. Base versions are the most stripped-down, so you should compare equipment carefully if you want a more luxurious cabin.
• Powertrain: The 2.5 S uses a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine 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. The turbo is the better pick if you want 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. Adaptive headlights are added on the 2.5 S Premium, while the top Signature trim 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 returns 24 mpg combined on premium gas.

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, base, Signature.

Here's the short version:

• base: This is the entry point for both the 2.5 S and 2.5 Turbo lines, so it makes sense if you want the lowest starting price and are comfortable giving up some upscale extras. The turbo base mixes equipment from higher trims, so it is the better-value choice if you want stronger performance without stepping all the way to the top.
• Select: This is the first step up in the 2.5 S lineup and is the right move if you want a little more equipment without chasing luxury touches. It should suit you if you want a sensible middle ground.
• Preferred: This trim is a good fit if you want a more polished daily driver and are willing to pay for extra comfort and convenience. It sits in the part of the lineup where the CX-5 starts feeling more premium.
• Carbon Edition: This is the best-value style-and-features pick if you want a more distinctive look without going all the way to the top trims. It is a strong choice if appearance matters to you.
• Premium: This is the trim where the CX-5 starts to feel notably more upscale, and it adds the 10-speaker Bose sound system and SiriusXM. It is the trim to target if you want the best balance of luxury feel and price.
• Premium Plus: Choose this if you want a richer feature set and are willing to pay for it. It is the step before the top trim and makes sense if you want more of the CX-5’s premium character.
• base: On the turbo side, this trim is for you if you want the stronger engine and a mix of equipment from higher trims without paying Signature money. It is the best-value turbo choice.
• Signature: This is the top trim and the one to buy if you want the most complete CX-5 experience. It adds the most luxury and safety equipment, including the surround-view camera, parking sensors, automatic rear braking, driver monitoring, and Traffic Jam Assist.

The standard i-Activsense safety package is comprehensive, but the top Signature trim gets the extra driver-assistance features.

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 with some leverage if you stay disciplined.

• Deal availability: 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,068 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.05% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 81.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $23,162.42, 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 $24,219 sits slightly below last year's $25,507.

That softer pricing suggests the CX-5 has already absorbed some of its near-term depreciation, which can help future sellers if the market stays steady. A model with strong demand and a premium-feeling reputation can hold attention better than a more ordinary compact SUV. If you buy well now, you may have a better chance of limiting your loss 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?

When it comes to crash-test ratings, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gives the 2022 Mazda CX-5 a “Top Safety Pick+” rating.

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 protection: the 2.5 S Premium gets 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. One caveat from the expert review is that the system can react a bit abruptly in moderate traffic when a vehicle cuts into the gap ahead.

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:

• 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 81.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.05% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.88/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Mazda’s updates make the CX-5 feel more premium and more refined than before.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $22,183, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $24,219 average.
• It offers family-friendly practicality with a more engaging driving character.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $25,915, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $24,219 average.
• It keeps the stylish, fun-to-drive formula but adds little beyond a fresh paint option.

The bottom line: If you want the best blend of value, safety, and a more premium driving feel, the 2022 is the primary year to target. If your budget is tighter, the 2021 is the better price-first alternative, while the 2023 makes sense only if you specifically want the newer model year and are comfortable paying more for very similar content.
