How much does the 2025 Mazda CX-5 cost?

Prices have softened 5.89% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 8,451 listings available, which suggests you should have a healthy number of options to compare.

Is the 2025 Mazda CX-5 a good car?

Yes — the 2025 Mazda CX-5 earns a 5/5 user rating and a 6.5/10 expert rating. The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel and Performance.

It stands out as one of the more desirable and sporty compact SUVs, with an attractive, upscale look and an enjoyable driving experience. You also get a premium-feeling cabin with nicer-than-average materials, which helps it feel more refined than many rivals.

The trade-offs are clear: the rear seats aren’t as spacious as rivals, cargo capacity is limited, and fuel economy is below average. If you want style, a polished cabin, and a fun-to-drive personality, it fits that brief well.

40.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop for value.

Is the 2025 Mazda CX-5 reliable?

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

The CX-5’s overall setup points to a vehicle that’s been refined over time rather than rushed into change, and the expert evaluation describes it as polished and well put together. Its driving character is confident and composed, and the cabin materials help it feel more substantial than many compact SUVs.

The performance notes also point to a well-sorted drivetrain and chassis, with the turbo model delivering stronger acceleration and the suspension keeping body roll in check. The expert evaluation also notes that the systems operated as they should during testing.

If you buy used, the main long-term ownership risk is that its below-average fuel economy and tighter packaging can make it less satisfying if your needs lean heavily toward efficiency or family-hauling practicality.

What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Mazda CX-5?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.7% — 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 pre-purchase inspection that focuses on the cabin, electronics, and suspension feel, since those are the areas where condition differences can matter most on a used SUV. It also helps to compare trims closely, because the CX-5’s equipment changes meaningfully as you move up the lineup.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base trim has a more traditional setup with physical buttons, knobs, and gauges, while higher trims add more upscale equipment and features. The Premium Plus trim brings a head-up display, and the top Turbo Signature adds more luxury-oriented touches.
• Powertrain: The CX-5 offers a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 187 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque, plus a Turbo model with 256 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque. Both pair with a six-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive is standard.
• Safety package: All trim levels include forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise control. Higher trims add adaptive headlights, a surround-view camera system, parking sensors, traffic jam assist, driver attention monitoring, and rear automatic braking.
• Infotainment: Every model gets a 10.25-inch infotainment display. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, wireless phone integration arrives on the midrange Premium Plus trim, and that trim also adds a wireless charging pad.
• Fuel efficiency: The base engine is rated at 26 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 28 mpg combined. The Turbo engine is rated at 22 mpg city, 27 mpg highway, and 24 mpg combined.

Which 2025 Mazda CX-5 trim should I buy?

The 2025 Mazda CX-5 is offered in 6 trim levels: S, S Select, Carbon Turbo, Premium Plus, Turbo Premium, Turbo Signature.

Here's the short version:

• S: This is the entry point, and it gives you the core CX-5 experience with standard all-wheel drive, the 10.25-inch display, and the full safety suite. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the model, but it is the least equipped version.
• S Select: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds keyless entry, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, and synthetic leather seat upholstery. If you want a more comfortable daily driver without jumping too far up the price ladder, this is the trim to focus on.
• Carbon Turbo: This is the first Turbo model and the one to choose if you want the stronger engine and the more luxurious feel Mazda builds into the upper lineup. It suits buyers who care more about performance and refinement than maximizing fuel economy.
• Premium Plus: This trim is the sweet spot for tech and convenience, adding wireless phone integration, a wireless charging pad, a head-up display, adaptive headlights, a surround-view camera system, and parking sensors. It’s the most balanced upgrade if you want a richer feature set without going all the way to the top.
• Turbo Premium: This trim adds traffic jam assist, which combines lane-keep assist and adaptive cruise control to reduce some of the burden of driving. It’s a good fit if you want more assistance features and are already shopping the Turbo side of the lineup.
• Turbo Signature: This is the most upscale version, adding a driver attention monitor and rear automatic braking, along with the top-end Bose audio system. Choose it if you want the most complete CX-5 experience and are willing to pay for it.

All CX-5 trim levels come standard with the basic advanced safety features, while the midrange and upper trims add more driver-assistance equipment.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Mazda CX-5?

This is a buyer-friendly market for the 2025 CX-5, with solid deal availability and a healthy supply of listings.

• Deal availability: 40.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 8,451 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.89% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 89.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $27,131, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2025 Mazda CX-5's resale value?

The current average of $27,131 sits slightly below last year's $28,829.

That softer pricing can help you buy at a more favorable point in the cycle, but it also means future resale gains may be more limited if the market stays soft. For a seller, the current trend suggests you should expect value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and trim rather than broad market momentum.

The CX-5’s appeal should still help support demand, especially because it combines style, a premium-feeling cabin, and strong driving enjoyment. 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 2025 Mazda CX-5 safe?

The 2025 Mazda CX-5 earns five-star ratings in all NHTSA evaluations except rollover protection, where it received a four-star rating.

It earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

All CX-5 trim levels come standard with forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise control. Higher trims add adaptive headlights, a head-up display, a surround-view camera system, front and rear parking sensors, traffic jam assist, a driver attention monitor, and rear automatic braking.

One caveat is that the latest IIHS results for this model year were not yet available in the expert material, so the NHTSA results are the clearest crash-test benchmark here.

Should I buy a 2025 Mazda CX-5 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2025 if:

• 40.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.89% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It delivers a sporty, upscale compact-SUV experience with strong driving enjoyment and premium cabin feel.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $26,597, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $27,131 average.
• It feels polished, stylish, and enjoyable to drive.

Consider the 2026 if:

• It brings a redesign with more space, sharper styling, and standard Google built-in.

The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of value, style, and driving enjoyment, the 2025 is the one to target. If your priority is saving money up front, the 2024 is the better bargain. If you want the newest design and more technology, the 2026 is worth a look.
