How much does the 2025 Mazda CX-5 cost?

Prices have softened 9.45% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 6,258 listings available, which suggests you should have a solid range of choices.

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 and upscale compact SUV that gives you practicality without giving up driving enjoyment or performance. The cabin uses nicer-than-average materials and a traditional control layout that favors usability, while the driving experience is tuned for confidence and engagement.

The trade-offs are clear: you give up some cargo space, rear-seat room, and fuel economy compared with more practical rivals. If you value style and driving feel more than maximum utility, that balance works in your favor.

The market also looks reasonably accessible, with 36.0% of listings marked as good or great deals.

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, refined approach and the fact that its systems operated without false alarms or technical glitches during testing. The expert evaluation also describes the vehicle as well put together and confidence-inspiring on the road.

Its performance hardware is straightforward, with a six-speed automatic and standard all-wheel drive across the range, which can be a plus for long-term ownership simplicity. The first year of ownership should be relatively low-stress if you keep up with routine maintenance and buy a well-kept example.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.7% — 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 higher-mileage example or a trim with more equipment. Focus on overall condition, tire wear, brake feel, and whether the cabin and electronics show signs of heavy use.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The cabin uses premium materials and a traditional layout, but the base setup lacks some of the upscale convenience features found higher up the range.
• Powertrain: You get a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 187 horsepower or a turbocharged version with 256 hp; the turbo is quicker and feels more confident.
• 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 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 display, and lower trims use wired phone integration while midrange Premium Plus models add 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, and it makes sense if you want the CX-5’s core driving character at the lowest price. It gets the standard safety suite and the basic 10.25-inch infotainment setup, but it’s the least equipped choice.
• 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 without jumping into turbo pricing.
• Carbon Turbo: This is the trim to choose if you want the stronger turbo engine and a more luxurious interior with genuine leather upholstery and upgraded trim elements.
• Premium Plus: This is the sweet spot if you want more convenience and tech, including wireless phone integration, a wireless charging pad, a head-up display, adaptive headlights, a surround-view camera system, and front and rear parking sensors.
• 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.
• Turbo Signature: This is the top trim, adding a driver attention monitor and rear automatic braking, along with the most premium audio setup.

All CX-5 trim levels come standard with the basic advanced safety features listed above.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market.

• Deal availability: 36.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 6,258 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.45% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 91.7% 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 $28,106 sits slightly below last year's $31,040.

That price movement suggests the CX-5 has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help future resale stability if you buy at the right price. A softer market today can also make it easier for you to find a cleaner example without paying peak pricing.

Because the model has strong appeal as a stylish, enjoyable-to-drive compact SUV, demand should remain healthy among shoppers who value those traits. 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 tests except rollover protection, where it earns a four-star rating.

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

The CX-5 comes 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.

IIHS results are not listed for this model year, but the identical prior model earned top marks in testing.

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:

• 36.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.7% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.45% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It blends sporty driving feel with upscale materials and a practical compact-SUV footprint.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $26,936, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $28,106 average.
• It offers a polished, mature feel with stylish design, excellent outward visibility, and strong safety ratings.

Consider the 2026 if:

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

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of price movement, inventory depth, and the CX-5’s established driving character, the 2025 is the safer all-around pick. If your priority is spending less, the 2024 is the value play; if you want the newest design and more space, the 2026 is the upgrade path.
