How much does the 2022 Mazda CX-5 cost?

Prices have softened 4.41% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,126 listings available, which gives you 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, excellent safety features, comfortable interior, and powerful performance, especially with the turbo option. The expert review also points to its stylish design and fun-to-drive character as core strengths.

The trade-offs are familiar: 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 want a compact SUV that feels more polished and engaging than many rivals, especially if safety and driving enjoyment matter as much as everyday practicality. Good and great deals account for 35.3% of listings, so there’s still 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 user feedback points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with drivers highlighting the CX-5’s smooth ride, strong safety, and overall satisfaction over time. The expert review also reinforces that sense of durability by emphasizing Mazda’s improved structural rigidity, quieter cabin, and more solid-feeling ride.

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 major dependability concerns and more about living with the CX-5’s usability compromises if you plan to keep it for years.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 81.1% — 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 thorough inspection of the cabin, cargo area, and infotainment usability, since those are the areas most likely to affect your day-to-day satisfaction. If you plan to use the CX-5 as a family vehicle, pay close attention to rear-seat comfort and how well the vehicle’s packaging fits your needs.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The CX-5 2.5 S lineup includes base, Select, Preferred, Carbon Edition, Premium, and Premium Plus trims, while the 2.5 Turbo lineup includes base and Signature. The base 2.5 S is the value play if you want lower pricing and slightly better fuel economy, while the Signature adds the most upscale feel with premium materials and the most equipment.
• 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 up to 256 hp and 320 pound-feet on premium gas. All CX-5s have standard all-wheel drive, and the turbo models trade 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. 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-sensitive, and voice recognition is not included.
• 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, base, and Signature.

Here's the short version:

• base: This is the entry point for both powertrains, but the 2.5 S base is the better value if you want the lowest price and standard all-wheel drive without paying for extras you may not need.
• Select: This is the first step up in the 2.5 S lineup and makes sense if you want a little more equipment without jumping too far in price.
• Preferred: This trim is a sensible middle ground if you want more comfort and convenience while staying below the higher-end versions.
• Carbon Edition: This is the style-focused choice in the 2.5 S lineup, and it suits you if appearance matters as much as value.
• Premium: This is the best-value upgrade for many shoppers because it adds meaningful comfort and tech without pushing all the way to the top.
• Premium Plus: Choose this if you want a more fully equipped 2.5 S with the strongest mix of features before moving to the turbo models.
• base: The 2.5 Turbo base is for you if you want the stronger engine and quicker acceleration, and it mixes equipment from higher 2.5 S trims.
• Signature: This is the most luxurious CX-5, with premium Nappa leather, real wood trim, body-color lower exterior trim, and the most advanced safety equipment.

The 2.5 S Premium adds adaptive headlights, and the Signature is the trim that gets the full safety upgrade package.

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

This is a moderate buyer’s market, so you can shop selectively without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 35.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,126 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.41% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 81.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $23,158, 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 $24,159 sits slightly below last year's $25,273.

That price movement suggests the CX-5 has already given up some value, which can help you as a buyer today. For a future seller, it means the market is still pricing this model as a desirable used SUV, but not at the same level it commanded a year ago.

If you buy well and keep the vehicle in strong condition, you should have a reasonable path to resale later. The combination of broad shopper appeal, strong safety, and solid owner satisfaction helps support demand.

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 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 driving-tech evaluation is that the system can react a bit late in moderate traffic and then brake more abruptly than ideal.

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:

• 35.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 81.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.41% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.88/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Mazda’s updates for 2022 push the CX-5 further toward premium territory with stronger driving dynamics and a quieter cabin.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $22,101, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $24,159 average.
• It offers strong value with enhanced tech and a practical family focus.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $25,843, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $24,159 average.
• It is a largely carryover model with only a new paint option.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, safety, and premium feel, the 2022 is the smart target. If your budget is tighter, the 2021 is the value alternative, while the 2023 mainly makes sense if you specifically want the newer model year and are comfortable paying more for essentially the same SUV.
