How much does the 2025 Mazda CX-5 cost?

Prices have softened 10.11% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 5,704 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for comparison shopping.

If you find a listing below $27,755.69, 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 — with a 5/5 user rating and a 6.5/10 expert rating, the 2025 Mazda CX-5 lands as a strong pick if you want an SUV that feels more engaging than most compact rivals.

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

It stands out as an attractive and upscale alternative for buyers who want practicality without giving up driving enjoyment or performance. The stylish design, premium interior materials, and fun-to-drive character are the core reasons it appeals.

The trade-offs are clear: the rear seats aren’t as spacious as rivals, cargo capacity is limited, and fuel economy is below average.

For you, that means the CX-5 makes the most sense if driving feel and cabin quality matter more than maximum space or efficiency.

34.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you room to shop selectively.

Is the 2025 Mazda CX-5 reliable?

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

The CX-5’s reputation here is supported by its steady refinement, premium-feeling cabin, and the fact that its systems operated without false alarms or technical glitches during testing. Its safety equipment is standard across the lineup, which also helps reinforce confidence in everyday use.

The performance side is straightforward: the base engine is adequate for most drivers, while the turbocharged setup feels stronger and more confident. That kind of predictable powertrain behavior is a plus when you’re thinking about long-term ownership.

If you’re buying used, the main risk is less about outright dependability and more about choosing the right example with the right condition and maintenance history.

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, prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, and pay close attention to wear on the interior, cargo area, and suspension. Because the CX-5’s strengths are tied to refinement and driving feel, condition matters a lot when you’re comparing used examples.

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: You can choose between a 2.5-liter four-cylinder and a turbocharged version. The base engine is adequate for most drivers, while the turbo delivers much stronger acceleration and a more confident feel.
• 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 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 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 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 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 at the lowest price. It makes sense if you want the styling, standard safety equipment, and driving enjoyment without paying for extras.
• 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 into turbo pricing, this is the sweet spot.
• Carbon Turbo: This is the first trim that gets you into the stronger turbocharged powertrain, and it’s the right move if performance matters most to you. It also starts the more luxurious side of the lineup.
• Premium Plus: This trim is a smart step up 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 parking sensors.
• Turbo Premium: This trim adds traffic jam assist, which helps reduce the burden of stop-and-go driving. It’s a good fit if you want more of the upper-trim convenience without going all the way to the top.
• Turbo Signature: This is the most fully equipped version, adding a driver attention monitor and rear automatic braking. Choose it if you want the most complete feature set and the most upscale CX-5 experience.

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 moderate and selective buyers should have room to shop carefully.

• Deal availability: 34.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 5,704 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.11% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 91.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $27,755.69, 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 $28,112 sits slightly below last year's $31,273.

That decline suggests the market has become more favorable for buyers, but it also means sellers may need to price competitively to stand out. If you own one, the CX-5’s strong styling, premium feel, and sporty reputation can help support demand, especially for well-kept examples with desirable equipment.

The price trend also shows that this model year is not holding value as firmly as it did a year ago, so condition and trim choice matter more when you eventually resell.

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 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.

A caveat to keep in mind is that current IIHS results for this model year are not yet available.

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:

• 34.9% 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 10.11% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It combines sporty driving feel with upscale materials and standard safety equipment.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $26,920, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $28,112 average.
• It feels better than ever thanks to continuous refinement.

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 choice. If your priority is saving money, the 2024 is the value play; if you want the newest design and more space, the 2026 is the better direction.
