How much does the 2025 Mazda CX-5 cost?

Prices have softened 8.46% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 6,703 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for comparison shopping.

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 an attractive, upscale compact SUV with premium interior materials and a fun-to-drive character. At the same time, the expert evaluation notes that it gives up some practicality, especially in fuel economy and cargo space.

The main trade-offs are a firmer ride and less rear-seat and cargo room than some rivals. If you want a compact SUV that feels more engaging and polished than purely utilitarian, this one fits that brief well.

With 37.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a decent chance of finding a competitive price.

Is the 2025 Mazda CX-5 reliable?

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

The CX-5’s reliability case is helped by its steady, long-running design and the expert note that its systems operated without false alarms or technical glitches during testing. That kind of consistency matters when you’re shopping used, because it suggests the vehicle’s core hardware and driver-assistance features are behaving as intended.

The performance side also points to a well-sorted package: the CX-5 is described as confident, composed, and quiet on the road. If you’re buying used, the main long-term ownership risk is that you may still be living with the model’s weaker efficiency and practicality rather than a mechanical concern.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.6% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re comparing higher-mileage examples or trims with more equipment. Focus on overall condition, tire wear, brake feel, and whether the cabin and controls show signs of heavy use.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base trim emphasizes the CX-5’s attractive styling and usable cabin, but it lacks some of the convenience and luxury touches found higher up the range. If you want a more upscale feel, look for trims that add richer materials and more comfort features.
• Powertrain: The CX-5 offers a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 187 horsepower, while Turbo models raise output to 256 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque. The base engine is adequate for most drivers, but the Turbo version is the better fit if you want stronger acceleration and a more confident feel.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes 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 features such as 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, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included. Lower trims require a USB cable for phone integration, while the midrange Premium Plus trim adds wireless connectivity and 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 if you want the CX-5’s core strengths at the lowest price, including standard all-wheel drive and the basic safety suite. It makes sense if you care most about value and don’t need extra comfort or tech.
• 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 upholstery. If you want the most noticeable upgrade in everyday comfort without jumping too far in price, this is the one to target.
• Carbon Turbo: This is the first Turbo model and the right choice if you want the stronger 256-hp engine and a more luxurious interior with genuine leather upholstery and upgraded trim elements. It’s the pick for buyers who care more about driving enjoyment and refinement than maximizing fuel economy.
• Premium Plus: This trim adds adaptive headlights, a head-up display, a surround-view camera system, front and rear parking sensors, wireless phone integration, and a wireless charging pad. It’s the sweet spot if you want a more premium, easier-to-live-with CX-5.
• 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. Choose it if you want more advanced assistance features along with Turbo power.
• Turbo Signature: This is the top trim, adding a driver attention monitor, rear automatic braking, and a 10-speaker Bose premium audio system. It suits you if you want the most fully equipped CX-5.

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

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

The market looks selective rather than overheated, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 37.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 6,703 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.46% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 91.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $27,757, 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 $28,006 sits slightly below last year's $30,596.

That price movement suggests the CX-5 has softened enough to create a better buying window now, but it also means future sellers may need to be realistic about pricing. If you buy at the right number, you may have less downside than someone who paid closer to the prior-year average.

The model’s strong appeal should help support demand over time, especially because it combines style, driving enjoyment, and a premium feel. 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 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.

The main caveat is that the CX-5’s IIHS results for this model year were not yet available in the provided data, so the strongest crash-test detail here comes from NHTSA.

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:

• 37.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.6% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.46% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It combines sporty driving feel with an upscale cabin and standard all-wheel drive.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $26,890, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $28,006 average.
• It feels polished, mature, and especially well suited to active urban buyers.

Consider the 2026 if:

• It brings a redesign with more space, more technology, and standard all-wheel drive across the lineup.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, satisfaction, and proven character, the 2025 is the safer all-around pick. If you’re especially price-sensitive, the 2024 can save you money while keeping much of the same appeal. If you want the newest design and more space, the 2026 is the better direction.
