How much does the 2025 Mazda CX-5 cost?

Prices have softened 9.82% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 6,110 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

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 a compact SUV that emphasizes style and driving enjoyment. The model is presented as an attractive, upscale alternative for buyers who want practicality without giving up performance, and the expert review highlights its sporty character and premium interior materials.

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

That said, the expert notes trade-offs in cargo space and fuel economy, so you’re giving up some everyday utility for a more engaging drive. If you value a more polished cabin and a fun-to-drive feel over maximum practicality, that balance makes sense.

34.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which suggests there are still worthwhile opportunities in the market.

Is the 2025 Mazda CX-5 reliable?

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

The CX-5’s appeal is reinforced by its refined design, premium materials, and a reputation for being enjoyable to drive. The expert review also points to a quiet cabin and confident road manners, which are the kinds of traits that usually support a satisfying ownership experience over time.

The performance notes describe the CX-5 as capable and confidence-inspiring, with AWD and suspension tuning that help it feel secure in everyday driving and on winding roads. The cost-effectiveness notes also say the base engine is more than adequate for most drivers, which is a good sign if you’re shopping used and want a powertrain that should feel sufficient rather than strained.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that you may still be living with the model’s weaker fuel economy and limited cargo space.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

Even with a strong share of clean listings, you should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection. Focus on interior condition, tire wear, brake feel, and whether the vehicle’s features work as expected, especially if you’re considering a higher-trim example with more equipment.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The cabin uses a more traditional layout with physical buttons, knobs, and gauges, and the base trim lacks some of the wow factor of more high-tech rivals. Higher trims add more upscale touches, so check whether the features you want are present before you pay extra.
• Powertrain: The CX-5 is available with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine or a turbocharged version, both paired with a six-speed automatic and standard AWD. The base engine is adequate for most drivers, while the turbo feels noticeably quicker and more confident.
• 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 more advanced equipment, so verify whether the listing includes the extras you want.
• Infotainment: Every model gets a 10.25-inch infotainment display. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and wireless phone integration is available in the midrange Premium Plus trim; that trim also adds 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 makes sense if you want the CX-5’s core strengths at the lowest price. It comes with the standard safety suite and the base 10.25-inch infotainment display, but you’ll want to step up if you want more comfort and 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. If you want a more comfortable daily driver without jumping deep into the price range, this is the trim to target.
• Carbon Turbo: This is the first turbo model, and it’s the right choice if you care most about stronger acceleration and a more luxurious feel. The turbo powertrain and upgraded interior materials make it the enthusiast’s pick.
• Premium Plus: This trim is the sweet spot if you want a more upscale tech and convenience mix. It adds 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 is for buyers who want the turbo powertrain plus added driving-assistance convenience. It includes 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, and it’s the one to choose if you want the most complete feature set. It adds a driver attention monitor, rear automatic braking, and a 10-speaker Bose premium audio system.

All trim levels include the standard safety suite, while the higher trims add more advanced driver-assistance and convenience features.

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

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop carefully without rushing.

• Deal availability: 34.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 6,110 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.82% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 92.0% 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 $28,113 sits slightly below last year's $31,174.

That decline suggests the market has become a little more favorable for buyers, but it also means sellers may need to price competitively to move a used CX-5. If you’re planning to sell later, the current trend points to a model that still has demand, but not the kind of pricing momentum that guarantees a quick premium sale.

The CX-5’s strong user satisfaction and upscale reputation should help support buyer interest over time. Even so, resale will likely depend on condition, trim, and whether your vehicle has the more desirable equipment buyers want.

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.

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, driver attention monitoring, 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:

• 34.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.82% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2025 combines sporty driving feel with premium interior materials and standard AWD.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $26,957, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $28,113 average.
• It offers a polished, mature feel with stylish design and strong safety ratings.

Consider the 2026 if:

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

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, driving enjoyment, and proven appeal, the 2025 is the safest all-around choice. If you’re especially price-sensitive, the 2024 can save you money while keeping much of the CX-5’s core character. If you want the newest design and more interior room, the 2026 is the better path.
