How much does the 2024 Mazda CX-5 cost?

Prices have held steady compared to this time last year, signaling a stable and predictable market for this model year.

There are 7,977 listings available, which gives you a healthy amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2024 Mazda CX-5 a good car?

Yes — your 5/5 user rating and the 7.67/10 expert rating both point to a strong overall case. The 2024 Mazda CX-5 fits well as an SUV for active urbanites, with stylish design, taut dimensions, excellent outward visibility, a comfortable cabin, commendable quality, and impressive safety ratings. The standout strength is Look and feel at 9/10.

The main trade-offs are poor fuel economy in Turbo models and limited cargo space. Technology is another weak spot, since the interface feels outdated even though the cabin quality is a clear strength.

With 37.2% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a decent chance of finding a competitively priced example.

Is the 2024 Mazda CX-5 reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. The CX-5’s long-running, steadily refined formula also supports the sense that it has matured into a polished and dependable-feeling compact crossover. Its standard all-wheel drive, smoothened ride, and responsive handling suggest a well-sorted mechanical package rather than a rushed redesign.

The turbocharged engine delivers strong output, and the vehicle’s overall refinement points to a model that has been continuously improved over time. Mazda also backs up the CX-5 with premium touches and useful ownership features, which adds to the impression of a thoughtfully developed SUV.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that higher-mileage examples may reflect the model’s known weaknesses in fuel economy, technology, and cargo practicality more than any major durability concern.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Mazda CX-5?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.1% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a Turbo model or a higher-mileage example. Focus on cabin condition, infotainment behavior, tire wear, and how the vehicle drives over rough pavement, since the CX-5’s appeal depends heavily on refinement and day-to-day usability.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup spans 2.5 S and 2.5 Turbo models, and the base 2.5 S gets the core Mazda experience with standard all-wheel drive, a six-speed automatic, and the brand’s polished driving feel. Higher trims add more premium touches, while the Turbo versions bring the stronger engine and more upscale equipment, so you should decide whether you value value-oriented simplicity or a richer feature set.
• Powertrain: The 2.5 S uses a 187-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder, while the Turbo version delivers 256 hp on premium gas or 227 hp on regular gas. The turbo engine is the better pick if you want stronger acceleration, but the base engine is the smarter choice if fuel economy matters more.
• Safety package: Every CX-5 includes adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, and lane-keeping assist. Higher trims add adaptive headlights, traffic sign recognition, and Traffic Jam Assist, while the top Turbo Signature gets a driver monitoring system, surround-view camera, front and rear parking sensors, and automatic reverse braking.
• Infotainment: The CX-5 uses a 10.25-inch display with Mazda Connect, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on several trims, and touchscreen operation for those phone platforms while driving. It also offers Mazda Connected Services and, on some versions, a 10-speaker Bose premium sound system.
• Fuel efficiency: The Turbo model is rated at 24 mpg in combined driving, and the test loop returned 22.9 mpg. If you want better efficiency, the base 2.5 S is the better direction.

Which 2024 Mazda CX-5 trim should I buy?

The 2024 Mazda CX-5 is offered in 8 trim levels: Select, Preferred, Carbon Edition, Premium, Premium Plus, Carbon Turbo, Premium Turbo, and Signature.

Here's the short version:

• Select: This is the entry point to the CX-5 lineup, so it makes sense if you want the core driving experience and standard safety equipment without stretching for extras. It’s the trim to start with if you care most about value and want the CX-5’s polished fundamentals.
• Preferred: This is the better everyday choice if you want a more comfortable and upscale feel without jumping too far up the price ladder. It should suit you if you want a balanced mix of features and value.
• Carbon Edition: This trim adds a more distinctive look and a stronger sense of style, making it a good fit if appearance matters to you. It’s a sensible step up if you want something that feels a little more special.
• Premium: This is the trim to consider if you want a more luxurious cabin and a richer feature set without going all the way to the top. It’s a strong middle-ground choice for shoppers who want comfort and polish.
• Premium Plus: This is the best-value choice if you want the most upscale experience from the 2.5 S side of the lineup. It should appeal to you if you want a near-luxury feel without moving into Turbo pricing.
• Carbon Turbo: This is the one to buy if you want the turbocharged engine and a more distinctive appearance. It also stands out for its premium interior touches and standard Bose audio, so it suits you if you want performance and style together.
• Premium Turbo: This trim makes sense if you want the stronger engine and a more premium feature mix than the lower Turbo model. It’s the right pick if you want power first, with comfort and equipment close behind.
• Signature: This is the top choice if you want the most complete CX-5, including the highest-level safety and convenience features. It’s the trim for you if you want the most fully equipped version and are willing to pay for it.

Mazda reserves the most advanced safety hardware for the CX-5 2.5 Turbo Signature.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Mazda CX-5?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop patiently but still move quickly on the right listing.

• Deal availability: 37.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 7,977 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 90.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $24,817, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Mazda CX-5's resale value?

The current average of $26,890 sits slightly below last year's $26,932.

That small decline suggests the CX-5 is holding value fairly steadily rather than swinging sharply in either direction. For a future seller, that kind of pricing pattern usually points to a market that is stable and easier to predict.

Because the model has strong appeal, premium interior materials, and broad buyer interest, you should still expect solid demand when it’s time to sell. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2024 Mazda CX-5 safe?

The 2024 Mazda CX-5 earns five-star ratings across the board from NHTSA, except for a four-star rollover resistance rating. It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Mazda equips every CX-5 with adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, and lane-keeping assist. Higher trims add adaptive headlights, traffic sign recognition, and Traffic Jam Assist with low-speed adaptive cruise control and lane-centering assist.

The top Turbo Signature trim gets the most advanced safety hardware, including a driver monitoring system, surround-view camera, front and rear parking sensors, and automatic reverse braking. The standard suite is already strong, but those extra features are reserved for the highest trim.

Should I buy a 2024 Mazda CX-5 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 37.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.1% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It adds wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to several trims, plus improved base-engine fuel economy.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $25,843, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $26,890 average.
• It remains appealing for style, comfort, and strong safety ratings.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $28,006, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $26,890 average.
• It leans into a more desirable and sporty compact-SUV character.

The bottom line: You should start with the 2024 if you want the best mix of current pricing, strong safety, and updated tech. If you’re focused on saving money, the 2023 is the better value play; if you want to spend more for a newer-feeling alternative, the 2025 is worth a look.
