Used Mazda CX-5 pros and cons
Is a used Mazda CX-5 a good car?
The Mazda CX-5 is a car that appears almost ageless — it’s like the Paul Rudd of SUVs. It helps that Mazda has carefully evolved the styling and also that the CX-5 has been gently updated every couple of years, helping it to stay fresh.
The interior is as smart as the outside, although it perhaps doesn’t look as sleek as some others and can look quite plain in a dark colour.
A 2022 update brought along a 10.3-inch infotainment system. The menu layout and graphics aren’t as slick to look at as some others, but it’s easy enough to use.
The back seats look more plain than the fronts, but there’s enough space for tall passengers to get comfy. The CX-5 is bigger and roomier than, say, a Nissan Qashqai, but if you need the ultimate in SUV space, consider a Skoda Kodiaq instead.
Again, in the boot, the CX-5 must give way to the massive Skoda. The Mazda can haul 506 litres of stuff up to the luggage cover, but the Kodiaq (even the old model) beats that by more than 200 litres.
The Mazda CX-5 is a stylish, sporty, and safe alternative to the mainstream SUV choices, and it comes with Mazda’s enviable reputation for reliability too, so it’s an ideal used SUV purchase.
What to look for when buying a used Mazda CX-5
Mazda’s reliability reputation means that the CX-5 is in good stead here, and the only commonly reported issues are a fiddly sat-nav system that sometimes refuses to recognise postcodes, and issues with the cabin heater taking ages to warm up on a cold day.
The CX-5 finished seventh in the Driver Power survey’s Top 50 Cars To Own list, with owners rating the car’s reliability very highly indeed. Mazda also finished seventh, as a brand, out of 32, with 25% of owners reporting an issue with their cars.
