Used Mazda CX-5 for Sale nearToledo, OH

How much does the Mazda CX-5 cost in today's market?

Used Mazda CX-5 prices span a wide range depending on model year. Here's what the market looks like right now:

The Mazda CX-5's current nationwide average price is $23,385, and its year-round low is $21,548.61. That puts the model's pricing in a fairly broad band across generations and trims, with newer years commanding the highest averages. Recently, prices have come down for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.

Is the Mazda CX-5 a good car?

Yes — the Mazda CX-5 is a strong pick if you want a compact SUV that blends comfort, style, and driving enjoyment. 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, and strong performance. Stylish interiors and advanced safety features also come up often, along with good value and a rewarding driving experience.

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, rear-seat room that can feel tight, and infotainment systems that can be frustrating to use. Fuel economy also comes up as a recurring concern, especially in more powerful versions.

33.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are Mazda CX-5 models reliable?

Owners across the lineup consistently praise the Mazda CX-5 for its comfortable ride, upscale feel, and strong driving character. Expert reviews also reinforce that reputation by highlighting the model’s solid handling, premium interior quality, and overall value.

• 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, long-term ownership risk looks manageable overall, especially on newer model years, while older examples deserve a closer look at history and condition before you buy.

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

Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 80.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2022 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: The 2026 CX-5 includes adaptive cruise control with speed limit assist, automatic emergency braking with Turn-Across Traffic detection and Head-On Collision Mitigation, rear automatic emergency braking with rear cross-traffic alert and pedestrian detection, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitors, vehicle exit warning, driver-attention monitor, traffic-sign recognition, front and rear parking sensors, and dynamic guidelines for the mandatory rear-view camera.
• 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 it includes Google built-in across the 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:

• 2.5 S: The entry trim starts the lineup with standard AWD, Google built-in, a 12.9-inch touchscreen, and a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster.
• Select: This trim adds wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it a smart step up if smartphone integration matters to you.
• Preferred: This is the best-value trim, adding AWD, 19-inch wheels, a power liftgate, a head-up display, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a 10-way power driver's seat with memory.
• Premium: This trim adds a Bose 12-speaker audio system and SiriusXM satellite radio.
• Premium Plus: This top trim adds a larger 15.6-inch screen, a 360-degree View Monitor with underfloor and parking views, a Driver Monitoring system, rear USB-C ports, an adaptive front-lighting system, front cross-traffic alert with automatic braking, and Cruising & Traffic Support with Lane-Change Assist.

What Mazda CX-5 do most buyers choose?

The Mazda CX-5 years with the most listings are 2024, 2025, and 2023.

Higher-volume years usually give you more choice in trims, colors, and pricing, which makes them especially appealing if you want to compare several similar listings before deciding. They also tend to be the easiest years to shop because there are enough examples on the market to find a good match.

What is the Mazda CX-5's resale value?

Most model years are down year over year, and the biggest drop is a double-digit decline on the newest year in the table. That pattern generally helps used buyers, since it opens up more room for value on recent models. A few older years are falling only slightly, and one year is moving up, which shows that pricing is not moving in exactly the same direction across the lineup.

The 2015, 2023, and 2016 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

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 −10.11% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −2.15%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 34.9% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 34.5%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $26,920. The Mazda CX-5 offers a stylish, upscale cabin and a rewarding driving feel that make it easy to live with every day.

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: The old setup, controlled by a rotary knob on the center console—or via the narrow touchscreen itself in some, but not all circumstances—has been replaced by a 12.9-inch touchscreen on all trims except the top-tier Premium Plus, which gets a 15.6-inch unit.
• Safety: The top-tier Premium Plus adds even more, in the form of 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—and every single one includes AWD as standard.

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 2027 inventory to mature.
