Should I buy a used Mazda CX-5 now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The only available powertrain is the carryover SkyActiv-G 2.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder, producing 187 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque and paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.
• Tech: You get native Google Maps for navigation, the Google Gemini AI voice assistant for natural-language commands, and access to the Google Play Store for downloading apps directly to the infotainment system.
• Safety: The top-tier Premium Plus adds an adaptive front-lighting system, front cross-traffic alert with automatic braking, Cruising & Traffic Support with Lane-Change Assist, a driver monitoring system, and the 360-degree View Monitor camera system.
• Starting price: The lineup spans five trims from $29,990 for the 2.5 S to $38,990 for the Premium Plus.

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.
