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

Key things to evaluate:

• Fuel efficiency: Natural Resources Canada rates the CX-5 at 9.9 litres per 100 kilometres in the city, 7.9 on the highway, and 9.0 combined — among the highest figures in a segment where more power and better fuel economy are becoming the norm.
• Infotainment: The infotainment system is one of the CX-5's most significant upgrades for 2026. The old setup, controlled by a rotary knob on the centre console — or via the narrow touchscreen itself in some, but not all circumstances — has been replaced by a 12.9-inch touchscreen on all trims.
• Safety package: Every trim 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 alert, traffic sign recognition, front and rear parking sensors, and dynamic guidelines for the mandatory rear-view camera.

• GS: This is the best-value trim, adding 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.
• GT: The top trim adds a Bose 12-speaker audio system and SiriusXM satellite radio, with the Premium Package bringing a larger 15.6-inch screen, a 360-degree View Monitor, a Driver Monitoring system, rear USB-C ports, and front cross-traffic alert with automatic braking.

What Mazda CX-5 do most buyers choose?

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

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

Most model years are down year over year, which can work in your favour if you are shopping used. The larger drops are concentrated in older and mid-cycle years, while the newest examples are easing more gradually. That pattern gives you more room to find value across the lineup.

The 2025, 2017, and 2015 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

• Tech: The standout feature is Google built-in, which comes standard across the entire lineup. 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.
