Mazda does not build many cars like the Mazda CX-5: a 5-door SUV with Petrol engine, built from 2012 as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. Its designer of record is Norihito Iwao (exterior: 2009) / Masashi Nakayama (2009, 2010).
The background
The Mazda CX-5 is a compact crossover SUV produced by Mazda since 2012, a successor to both the Tribute and the slightly larger CX-7. It is Mazda's first model to feature the "Kodo" design language and the first model to be fully developed with a range of technologies branded as Skyactiv, including a rigid, lightweight platform combined with a series of engines and transmissions to reduce emissions and fuel consumption. It debuted in 2011. Since 2019, the CX-5 has been positioned above the smaller CX-30.
As of 2022, depending on the region, the CX-5 is positioned right below the larger CX-50, CX-60 or CX-8 within Mazda's crossover SUV line-up. Since 2014, the CX-5 has consistently been Mazda’s best-selling model globally. It achieved record sales in 2019, with 444,262 units sold worldwide. As of March 2022, cumulative sales of the CX-5 reached around 3.5 million units.

Where it sits in Mazda's history is not in doubt: the Mazda Tribute / Mazda CX-7 came before it; it was built at Hiroshima (Ujina Plant No. . On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Peugeot 208, the Tesla Model X, the Lamborghini Aventador. Its Mazda stablemates include the Mazda BT-50 and the Mazda T2000.
The money
On the used market today a Mazda CX-5 typically changes hands for $9,500–$38,900, and running it — fuel and maintenance at its age — costs about $2,650–$5,125 a year. Insurance sits around $1,090–$2,250 a year. The figures are class-level estimates from the federal record, with the formula on the methodology page; the model-year pages carry complaints, recalls and repair costs year by year.
