Buying a used vehicle is a great way to get a relatively new vehicle for much less than its original price. This only works if you do it right, however, and the first step is choosing a brand with a strong history of building reliable and durable vehicles. Mazda fits that description, and the CX-5 is its best-selling vehicle. Keep reading to find out why.
There are many benefits that come with buying a quality used vehicle such as the Mazda CX-5.
The main reason people buy used vehicles is that they cost significantly less. No matter how well-built a car is, it loses up to half of its initial value in just a few years on the road. The Mazda CX-5 is in its second generation, which was first introduced in 2017. This means that if you buy a used one from 2017 or more recent, you'll be driving a latest-generation CX-5.
Choosing a used vehicle can save you money in multiple ways. Registration costs are lower for used vehicles and, since it's valued lower than a new one, you'll be paying less for insurance. Also, since most of the depreciation occurs during its first few years on the road, you won't be losing too much money if you resell it. As long as you keep it in good condition, you have every chance of getting a price that's reasonably close to what you paid for it.
New vehicles can have significant price variations based on the trim levels and features you choose. These price differences tend to be much lower for used vehicles, so you may get one in a higher trim and with exciting features without paying much more. The Mazda CX-5 comes with many premium features in its higher trims, including a terracotta-colored leather interior with suede inserts, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a wireless smartphone charger, and much more.
The Mazda CX-5 is a comfortable and luxurious crossover SUV that suits a wide variety of drivers. Its size and design make it an ideal choice both for city driving and for long road trips. It also has excellent handling, and it's surprisingly fun to drive for such a useful and comfortable vehicle.
The CX-5 is as gorgeous as it is useful. Its exterior design is both sporty and elegant, highlighting the CX-5's versatility. Different colored accents, a bold front grille, and a special wheel design are just a few of its exterior highlights. Its upscale interior offers plenty of space in both rows, while its elevated driving position enhances the driver's visibility. The seats provide great support even on long-distance drives, while the suspension system finds the ideal balance between being comfortable and providing precise handling.
It's also well-equipped from a tech standpoint. Older models have a standard 7-inch touch-screen interface, while newer versions come with a 10.25-inch one. Smartphone connectivity is quick and easy through either Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. It also comes with many active safety features that help you avoid unpleasant road situations.
The Mazda CX-5's engines provide power and acceleration while also having decent fuel economy. Its base engine is a capable 2.5-liter four-cylinder that can produce up to 187 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque. If you need a little extra power, you can choose the turbocharged version of the same engine, which produces up to 227 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. Using premium fuel will boost its output to 256 horsepower. Models up to 2020 also have a diesel option. The 2.2-liter turbocharged engine delivers 168 horsepower and 290 pound-feet of torque.
The CX-5's base engine has a combined city/highway fuel economy of 26 mpg, while its turbo version has a 22-mpg combined fuel economy.
