Used 2024 Mazda CX-50 for Sale nearLongview, TX

How much does the 2024 Mazda CX-50 cost?

Prices are up 1.66% year-over-year — a sign of continued demand for this model year.

There are 4,477 listings available, which suggests you have a healthy amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2024 Mazda CX-50 a good car?

Yes — the 2024 Mazda CX-50 earns a 4.8/5 user rating and a 6.8/10 expert rating. The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel and Safety.

It stands out as a small crossover SUV that balances ruggedness with everyday usability, and it leans toward outdoorsy buyers who want a tougher look and standard all-wheel drive. The interior design is classy, and the overall presentation feels more upscale than its mainstream mission might suggest.

The trade-offs are clear: performance is fairly pedestrian, and value for money is weak. That makes it a better fit if you care more about style, standard AWD, and a polished cabin than outright excitement or bargain pricing.

Only 40.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so the market is somewhat selective.

Is the 2024 Mazda CX-50 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.8/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The CX-50 is described as a practical daily driver with standard all-wheel drive and a well-mannered overall character. Its 2.5-liter four-cylinder setup is straightforward, and the standard six-speed automatic and AWD give it a familiar, durable-feeling mechanical layout.

Mazda’s warranty coverage is comparable to many mainstream brands, and the CX-50’s standard equipment helps it feel well covered from the start. The base engine’s fuel economy is reasonable, and the model’s standard safety and driver-assist equipment adds confidence for everyday use.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that the CX-50’s value proposition is not especially strong, so you’ll want to be sure the condition and price line up before you commit.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Mazda CX-50?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because accident-free listings are strong but not universal. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re looking at a higher-mileage example or one with optional equipment. Focus on overall condition, tire wear, and signs of heavy use, since this model’s appeal depends a lot on how well it has been maintained.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: Lower trims get 17-inch wheels, while 20-inch wheels are available on most higher grades. The Meridian Edition adds all-terrain tires, a black hood graphic, and more pronounced rocker-panel trim, but the base models’ manually adjustable front seats are a reminder of the model’s mainstream positioning.
• Powertrain: All models use a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, with turbocharging on higher trim levels. The base engine makes 187 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque, while turbo models increase output and add towing capacity.
• Safety package: Standard driver-assist tech includes automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, lane-departure warning, a driver attention monitor, and emergency lane-keeping with road-keep assist. Rear automatic braking, traffic-jam assist, and a 360-degree camera system are optional.
• Infotainment: A 10.25-inch infotainment screen is standard, but it is not a touchscreen. Wireless Apple CarPlay is standard, while Android Auto requires a cable. Higher trims add wireless phone charging, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a 12-speaker Bose audio system.
• Fuel efficiency: The base engine is rated at 27 mpg combined, with 24 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. Turbo models drop to 25 mpg combined, with 23 mpg city and 29 mpg highway.

Which 2024 Mazda CX-50 trim should I buy?

The 2024 Mazda CX-50 is offered in 8 trim levels: 2.5 S Select, 2.5 S Preferred, 2.5 S Premium, 2.5 S Premium Plus, 2.5 Turbo, 2.5 Turbo Meridian Edition, 2.5 Turbo Premium, and 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus.

Here's the short version:

• 2.5 S Select: This is the entry point, and it gives you the CX-50’s core appeal: standard all-wheel drive, the rugged design, and the basic safety and tech setup. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost path into the model, but it is still not a bargain.
• 2.5 S Preferred: This is the trim to target if you want a better balance of equipment and price. It should be the best-value choice for most used buyers because it builds on the standard strengths without pushing you too far up the price ladder.
• 2.5 S Premium: Choose this if you want a more upscale feel and more convenience features without jumping to turbo power. It suits buyers who care about comfort and cabin polish more than speed.
• 2.5 S Premium Plus: This is for shoppers who want the most fully equipped non-turbo version. It makes sense if you want to stay with the base engine but still want a richer feature set.
• 2.5 Turbo: Pick this if you want stronger acceleration and are willing to pay for it. It is the right move if performance matters more than value.
• 2.5 Turbo Meridian Edition: This is the style-first choice, with all-terrain tires, a black hood graphic, and a more outdoorsy look. It suits buyers who want the CX-50’s rugged image taken further.
• 2.5 Turbo Premium: This is the better choice if you want turbo power and more luxury-oriented equipment without going all the way to the top.
• 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus: This is the most feature-rich version and the one for buyers who want the fullest CX-50 experience.

Standard safety equipment is strong across the lineup, but rear automatic braking, traffic-jam assist, and a 360-degree camera system remain optional.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Mazda CX-50?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop carefully without feeling rushed.

• Deal availability: 40.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,477 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices are up 1.66% year-over-year.
• Clean inventory: 88.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $25,822, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Mazda CX-50's resale value?

The current average of $27,237 sits slightly above last year's $26,791.

That upward move suggests the CX-50 has held demand well enough to support pricing. For a future seller, that means a clean, well-kept example should still attract attention if it is priced in line with the market.

The model’s rugged styling, standard all-wheel drive, and upscale cabin help it stand out in a crowded segment. Even so, its weaker value proposition means resale strength will depend heavily on condition, mileage, and trim.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.8/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2024 Mazda CX-50 safe?

The 2024 Mazda CX-50 was named a 2023 Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and it received a five-star frontal crash-test rating and four-star rollover crash-test rating from NHTSA.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Mazda includes a strong standard safety suite with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, lane-departure warning, a driver attention monitor, and emergency lane-keeping with road-keep assist. Rear automatic braking, traffic-jam assist, and a 360-degree camera system are optional.

The main caveat is that the standard headlights were only rated “Average,” and the nighttime pedestrian front-crash-prevention result was the lowest “Basic” score.

Should I buy a 2024 Mazda CX-50 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:

• 40.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices are up 1.66% year-over-year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It combines rugged styling with standard all-wheel drive and a classy interior.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $25,228, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $27,237 average.
• It launched the CX-50 with stylish design and practical space.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $28,072, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $27,237 average.
• It adds a hybrid powertrain for better efficiency.

The bottom line: If you want the CX-50’s rugged look and standard AWD, the 2024 is the balanced choice. If price matters most, the 2023 is the smarter value play, while the 2025 is the better pick if you want the newer hybrid efficiency.
