What Makes a Used MAZDA CX-5 a Good Investment?

A Mazda CX-5 is a robust SUV long known for its reliability and smooth handling. Is this a good model when purchased as a pre-owned vehicle? Learn how a used Mazda CX-5 can be a good investment for used car buyers.

Depreciation

All cars depreciate; this is unavoidable. However, some models depreciate more than others. The Mazda brand as a whole is known for its relatively low depreciation. A 2020 Mazda model, for example, still retains 89 percent of its value in 2022, according to the automotive site Car Edge. This makes the Mazda CX-5 a good choice as a pre-owned vehicle. It also means you can sell it relatively close to its original value when you decide to sell the vehicle down the line.

Get a Premium Trim

Some of the Mazda CX-5 premium trim options include the Select, Preferred, and Carbon Edition trims. These upper trims may be out of your budget if you buy a new model. However, with a pre-owned model, a premium trim may be within your price range.

Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Options

A Certified Pre-Owned Mazda CX-5 is especially a wise investment. While it does cost slightly more than its non-CPO counterpart, the benefits more than make up for it. For starters, a CPO Mazda CX-5 comes with a one-year/12,000-mile limited warranty, a seven-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, and roadside assistance. All models are also no more than six years old and have less than 80,000 miles on the odometer.
