What Mazda CX-5 do most buyers choose?

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

These higher-volume years tend to be the most popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right trim, colour, and price. They also often sit close to the sweet spot between newer features and used-car value.

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

Most model years are down year over year, which is good news if you're shopping used because it creates more room for value. The largest drops are in the newer and mid-cycle years, while the older model years are changing more slowly. That pattern suggests you can find meaningful savings across much of the lineup without giving up the CX-5's core appeal.

The 2017, 2018, and 2015 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
