Is the Mazda CX-5 a good car?
Yes — the Mazda CX-5 is a strong used pick if you want style, comfort, and driving enjoyment in one package. The all-generations owner rating is 4.76/5 across every model year in the data.
Owners consistently praise the CX-5 for its luxurious feel, comfortable ride, stylish interior, and strong performance. Safety features are another recurring strength, and many shoppers also value the model’s overall driving enjoyment and premium presentation.
Expert reviews rate the 2019 and 2018 models among the highest across all years.
The main trade-offs that show up in recent expert reviews are limited cargo space, a cramped rear seat in some years, and infotainment systems that can feel unintuitive or dated. For used buyers, that means the CX-5 is especially appealing if you prioritize refinement and road manners over maximum utility.
35.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
Are Mazda CX-5 models reliable?

- Owners rate the Mazda CX-5 between 4.6 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.
For used buyers, the long-term ownership picture is strongest when you choose a well-kept example with a clean history and a model year that has already proven itself over time.

- Infotainment: the 2026 CX-5 uses a 12.9-inch touchscreen on all trims except the top-tier Premium Plus, which gets a 15.6-inch unit, and Google built-in comes standard across the entire lineup.
- Fuel efficiency: The EPA rates the CX-5 at 24 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 26 combined mpg.
Which Mazda CX-5 trim should I buy?
The 2026 Mazda CX-5 offers these trims:

Should I buy a used Mazda CX-5 now or wait for the next model?
Buy now if:
- Price trend: The 2025 model is at −9.45% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −0.95%.

- Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $26,936. The Mazda CX-5 offers a polished, upscale feel that makes it easy to live with every day.
Consider waiting if:
- Powertrain/efficiency: The 2026 CX-5 uses a SkyActiv-G 2.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder with 187 horsepower, 186 pound-feet of torque, and a 6.0-second-free?
- Tech: The 2026 CX-5 adds a 12.9-inch touchscreen, Google built-in, Google Maps, Google Gemini AI voice assistant, and Google Play Store access.

- Starting price: The CX-5 lineup starts at $29,990.
If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.

This is our second Mazda CX-5. Our 2015 model is still in excellent shape and we gifted it to our daughter. Our new 2024 Mazda CX-5 GS is wonderful! Luxurious, smooth ride, peppy engine, very comfortable. We love it! Friends who have driven with us thought we must have paid over $10,000 more than we did!

Why it stands out
The 2024 Mazda CX-5 stands out as a compact crossover that has been steadily refined rather than redesigned, and that long-running approach gives it a polished, mature feel. Mazda positions it as an SUV for active urbanites, and it fits that role well with stylish design, taut dimensions, excellent outward visibility, a comfortable cabin, commendable quality, and impressive safety ratings. It is also genuinely enjoyable to drive, which helps explain why it remains such a strong choice.
Its appeal is reinforced by premium interior materials and standard advanced safety features, both of which add to the sense that the CX-5 punches above its class. At the same time, it is not without compromises: fuel economy is poor in Turbo models, cargo space is limited, and the technology feels outdated. Even so, the 2024 Mazda CX-5 remains distinctive because it blends everyday usability with a more upscale, driver-focused character than many shoppers expect from a compact crossover.
