Mazda CX-5: information, price and comparisons

The Mazda CX-5 is Mazda's best-selling vehicle in Canada, and 2025 was its best year ever, with 28,288 sales, up 14.8%. The all-new third-generation 2026 CX-5 arrived in spring 2026 from CA$36,300. It is longer, with a 117 mm longer wheelbase, more rear-seat room and a bigger cargo area, and it now comes with all-wheel drive and a 12.9-inch touchscreen with Google built-in as standard. The trade-off is power: the turbo engine is gone, leaving a 187 hp 2.5L for every trim, and Mazda says a hybrid follows in 2027. Like every Mazda, it carries unlimited-kilometre warranty coverage.

Is the CX-5 right for you?

  • Buy it if you want a compact SUV with an upscale-feeling cabin and all-wheel drive standard on every trim.
  • Buy it if you drive a lot; Mazda's unlimited-kilometre warranty keeps covering high-mileage drivers when most rivals' coverage would end.
  • Buy the new generation if rear-seat and cargo space held you back before; both grew noticeably.
  • Look elsewhere if fuel economy matters most. At 9.0 L/100 km combined, the CX-5 uses far more fuel than a hybrid RAV4 or CR-V.
  • Look elsewhere if you want strong acceleration; the 256 hp turbo of the previous CX-5 is gone.

Buying a used CX-5 in Canada

Know the generations

The first-generation CX-5 ran from 2013 to 2016. The second generation (2017 to 2025) was a big step up in refinement and added a 2.5L turbo from 2019. Canada also briefly got a 2.2L diesel in the 2019 Signature, dropped for 2020. The third generation arrived for 2026.

Check the known issues

On 2013 to 2016 models, test the infotainment for lag or crashes, and listen for harsh shifts. Some 2017 and 2018 models had a cold-start dashboard vibration that Mazda addressed with engine mount updates under a service bulletin. As with any vehicle driven on salted roads, check the underbody for corrosion.

Use the unlimited-km warranty

Because Mazda's coverage has no kilometre limit, a high-mileage CX-5 under five years old may still have powertrain coverage. Confirm the original in-service date.

Run the VIN for recalls

Check any used CX-5 against Transport Canada's recall database or Mazda Canada's recall lookup, and confirm open recalls were completed.
