How much does the 2025 Mazda CX-5 cost?

Prices have softened 9.69% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 5,214 listings available, which suggests solid inventory availability. If you find a listing below $27,759, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2025 Mazda CX-5 a good car?

Yes — the 5/5 user rating and 6.5/10 expert rating point to a model that delivers broad appeal with clear strengths. The CX-5 stands out as an attractive and upscale alternative for you if you want practicality without giving up driving enjoyment or performance.

The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel and Performance.

Its styling and premium interior materials help it feel more special than many compact SUVs, and its sporty character is a major part of the appeal. The trade-offs are real, though: the rear seats aren’t as spacious as rivals, cargo capacity is limited, and fuel economy trails the class.

Good and great deals: 30.8% of listings are priced 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 overall setup supports confidence for used buyers: it’s been refined over time, its cabin materials are described as high quality, and the driving experience is polished rather than rough-edged. The expert drive notes also say the systems operated as they should, with no false alarms or technical glitches during testing.

The performance content points to a well-sorted powertrain lineup, with the base engine described as adequate for most drivers and the turbo version delivering noticeably more confidence and ease. For long-term ownership, your main risk is less about dependability and more about living with the CX-5’s practical compromises, especially fuel economy and cargo space.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.2% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re comparing multiple trims or higher-mileage examples. Focus on cabin condition, tire wear, brake feel, and whether the vehicle’s equipment matches the trim you’re considering.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base setup emphasizes traditional controls and a premium-feeling cabin, but it lacks some of the upscale convenience and tech upgrades found higher up the range.
• Powertrain: You get a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 187 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque, or a Turbo model with 256 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque; both use a six-speed automatic and standard AWD.
• Safety package: Every trim 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, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. Lower trims use 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 estimated 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 4 trim levels: S, S Select, Carbon Turbo, and Premium Plus.

Here's the short version:

• S: This is the entry point, and it gives you the core CX-5 experience with standard AWD, the 10.25-inch display, and the full base safety suite. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the model and value the driving feel more than extra convenience features.
• 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 the pricier turbo models.
• Carbon Turbo: This is the trim to target if you want the stronger turbocharged engine and a more luxurious interior with genuine leather upholstery and upgraded trim elements. It suits you best if driving enjoyment matters more than maximizing efficiency.
• Premium Plus: This is the smart step-up if you want more tech and convenience, 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.

Higher trims also layer in additional safety equipment, so if you want the most complete driver-assistance setup, it’s worth moving beyond the base model.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory to shop carefully and enough deal activity to make timing matter.

• Deal availability: 30.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 5,214 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.69% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 91.2% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $27,759, 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 $28,343 sits slightly below last year's $31,384.

That price decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable point. For a future seller, that also means resale value may depend more on condition, mileage, and trim choice than on broad market momentum.

The CX-5’s strong appeal should still support demand, especially because it combines style, premium materials, and a sporty driving feel. Well-kept examples with desirable equipment are likely to remain easier to move than more ordinary compact SUVs.

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?

It 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.

Every trim 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 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 current model-year IIHS results are not yet available, so you’re relying on NHTSA results and the vehicle’s standard safety equipment for now.

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:

• 30.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.2% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.69% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It keeps the sporty, upscale character that makes the CX-5 appealing.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $27,035, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $28,343 average.
• It offers continuous refinement, strong safety ratings, and a polished, enjoyable driving experience.

Consider the 2026 if:

• It brings a full redesign with more space, a more modern cabin, and standard Google built-in.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of current pricing, strong satisfaction, and the familiar CX-5 formula, the 2025 is the safer all-around pick. If your priority is saving money, the 2024 is the value play; if you want a newer design and more space, the 2026 is the one to compare next.
