Mazda CX-5

Introduced for the 2013 model year, the Mazda CX-5 was the first production vehicle to feature both the Kodo design language and a full suite of Skyactiv technologies. It quickly established a reputation for being one of the best-handling crossovers in its class, offering a driving experience that appealed to enthusiasts who needed the practicality of an SUV. The first generation (KE) ran until 2016, with a second generation (KF) debuting for 2017 with more refined styling and an upgraded interior.

The CX-5 isn't a traditional collector car, but its popularity and reputation for reliability make it a frequently traded vehicle on the modern used market. Enthusiasts appreciate it as a practical daily driver or family hauler that doesn't sacrifice driving fun. Early direct-injection models and later turbocharged 2.5T variants offer different performance profiles, but all are known for their sharp steering and well-tuned chassis.

The market for used CX-5s is broad, reflecting its 10+ years of production. Early, high-mileage examples represent a great value, while late-model, low-mileage Grand Touring or Signature trims command higher prices. With an average sale price around $12,500, it's an accessible and desirable choice for buyers seeking style and substance in a compact package.

Based on recent sales, prices range from $2,450 for early models to $19,900 for newer, well-equipped examples.
