How much does the 2024 Mazda CX-5 cost?

Prices have softened 7.32% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,174 listings available, which suggests you should have a solid range of choices.

Is the 2024 Mazda CX-5 a good car?

Yes — the 2024 Mazda CX-5 earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7.7/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Look and feel at 9/10.

It fits well if you want a compact crossover that feels polished, mature, and genuinely enjoyable to drive. The CX-5’s stylish design, excellent outward visibility, comfortable cabin, and commendable quality all support that appeal, while its standard all-wheel drive and refined chassis help it feel composed in everyday use.

The trade-offs are worth weighing: cargo space is limited, and the technology is dated compared with newer rivals. The market still shows 21.3% good or great deals, which can make it easier to find a well-priced example.

Is the 2024 Mazda CX-5 reliable?

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

Mazda’s continuous refinement approach has helped the CX-5 stay polished over time, and the expert assessment highlights commendable quality, strong safety, and a well-sorted driving experience. The powertrain is described as rewarding when you drive it with a steady throttle, and the standard all-wheel-drive setup adds confidence in varied conditions.

On the cost side, Mazda’s premium-brand positioning is supported by style, quality, refinement, and dynamism, though ownership benefits are not a standout strength. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that the CX-5’s weaker fuel economy and dated technology may age less gracefully than its core driving character.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Mazda CX-5?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup includes GS, GX, Kuro, GT, Sport Design, Suna, and Signature. Base versions get the core CX-5 strengths, but higher trims add more premium touches, and the Signature is the one that brings the most upscale equipment.
• Powertrain: You’ll find a base 2.5-litre four-cylinder and 2.5 Turbo models. The turbocharged version delivers stronger output, but it is also the one called out for poorer fuel economy.
• Safety package: Every CX-5 gets adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, and lane-keeping assist. Adaptive headlights and traffic sign recognition arrive as you move up the trim ladder, while the Signature adds a driver monitoring system, surround-view camera, front and rear parking sensors, and automatic reverse braking.
• Infotainment: The CX-5 uses a 10.25-inch display, and several trims add wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Mazda also allows touchscreen use of those smartphone platforms while driving, and Mazda Connected Services adds remote engine start and other connected features.
• Fuel efficiency: The turbocharged version is rated at 9.8 L/100 km in combined driving, while the base engine is rated at 9.3 L/100 km combined, or 8.5 L/100 km with cylinder deactivation.

Which 2024 Mazda CX-5 trim should I buy?

The 2024 Mazda CX-5 is offered in 7 trim levels: GS, GX, Kuro, GT, Sport Design, Suna, and Signature.

Here's the short version:

• GX: This is the entry point if you want the CX-5’s core strengths at the lowest price, including standard all-wheel drive and the full suite of standard driver-assistance features.
• GS: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it keeps the CX-5’s premium feel while adding more everyday appeal without jumping too far up the price ladder.
• Kuro: Choose this if you want a more distinctive appearance and a step up in presentation without going all the way to the top trims.
• GT: This is a strong middle-ground choice if you want a more upscale feel and more available convenience features.
• Sport Design: Pick this if styling matters and you want a more expressive version of the CX-5 with a more premium look.
• Suna: This is the most distinctive trim in the lineup, with trim-exclusive Zircon Sand paint, Terracotta leather seats with black artificial suede inserts, a black headliner, and the Turbo engine as standard.
• Signature: This is the one to buy if you want the most complete CX-5 experience, including the most advanced safety equipment and the most premium cabin treatment.

Mazda reserves the driver monitoring system, surround-view camera, front and rear parking sensors, and automatic reverse braking for the Signature.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Mazda CX-5?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory to shop carefully and enough price softness to reward patience.

• Deal availability: 21.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,174 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.32% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $32,150 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Mazda CX-5's resale value?

The current average of $32,150 CAD sits slightly below last year's $34,689 CAD.

That softer pricing suggests the CX-5 has become a bit easier to buy than it was a year ago, which can help future sellers if they purchase at the right price. A model with strong equipment, good condition, and desirable trim content should still attract attention, especially because the CX-5’s premium feel remains a key selling point.

The current trend also means resale value may depend more on trim, mileage, and condition than on broad market momentum. 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 2024 Mazda CX-5 safe?

The Mazda CX-5 earns five-star ratings across the board from NHTSA, except for a four-star rollover resistance rating.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Mazda equips every CX-5 with adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, and lane-keeping assist. Adaptive headlights and traffic sign recognition are added as you move up the trim ladder, while the Signature gets a driver monitoring system, surround-view camera, front and rear parking sensors, and automatic reverse braking.

The standard ADAS package performs well, especially the lane departure and lane-keeping systems, and the adaptive headlights are described as excellent on dark, unlit streets. The main caveat is that the CX-5 no longer carries the Top Safety Pick designation it has earned in the past.

Should I buy a 2024 Mazda CX-5 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 21.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.32% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Mazda’s continuous refinement keeps the CX-5 polished, upscale, and enjoyable to drive.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $29,816 CAD, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $32,150 CAD average.
• It remains appealing, stylish, and enjoyable to drive.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $35,766 CAD, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $32,150 CAD average.
• It blends practicality with a genuinely enjoyable driving experience.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, refinement, and availability, the 2024 is the primary pick. If you are more price-sensitive, the 2023 is the smarter value play, while the 2025 makes sense only if you are willing to pay more for a newer model-year alternative.

How does the 2024 Mazda CX-5 compare to the 2024 Honda CR-V?

The CX-5 is the lower-priced option here and also has more listings available, which gives you more room to shop. The CR-V has a higher share of good and great deals, so it may reward bargain hunters who are willing to compare carefully.
