A 2017 to 2025 CX-5 lists for roughly $14,000 to $40,000 in Canada in October 2026. For the money, look at a 2019 to 2021 at about $17,500 to $30,500. The turbo (Signature, GT Turbo, Sport Design Turbo) arrived in 2019, and 2025 was its last year: the redesigned 2026 CX-5 dropped it.

Smooth, proven and efficient enough. Cylinder deactivation was added for 2019.
2.5L turbo four-cylinder

Big low-down torque that makes the CX-5 feel quick. Uses more fuel, and full power needs premium.

Pros and cons
What owners like
- Interior feels close to luxury brands
- Turbo version is properly quick
- Conventional six-speed automatic instead of a CVT
What owners complain about
- Tighter rear seat and cargo area than RAV4 and CR-V
- Firm, sometimes noisy ride on rough roads
- Infotainment is fiddly, and turbo fuel use is high
What should you check before buying one?
- 2017 to 2018: ask to start it after it has sat cold for a few hours. Some owners reported a harsh buzzing in extreme cold that was traced to engine mounts.
- Infotainment: test the screen, controller, Bluetooth and navigation for lag or crashes.
- Front end: on rough roads, listen for suspension knocks, and watch for pulling or uneven tire wear.
- Turbo models: ask for oil change records and when the spark plugs were last done. Turbo engines need them sooner.
- Battery: have it tested. Short battery life is a frequent complaint and causes odd electrical warnings.
- All years: run the VIN for open recalls and read the full history report.
Jim T. verdict
For most buyers, a 2019 to 2021 CX-5 is the best value. If you want the turbo, look hard at 2022 and 2023 Signature and Sport Design Turbo models: right now they ask only a little more than a comparable 2.5, which makes the turbo the bargain of this generation.

Frequently asked questions
Which CX-5 trims have the turbo?
The Signature from 2019, the GT with Turbo on some years, and the Sport Design Turbo from 2022. Every other trim uses the 2.5L non-turbo engine.
When did the CX-5 get standard AWD in Canada?
For the 2022 model year. Earlier CX-5s were sold with front-wheel drive or AWD depending on trim.
Is 2025 the last year of the turbo CX-5?
Yes. The redesigned 2026 CX-5 dropped the turbo engine, so a 2019 to 2025 turbo is the only way to get one.
Can you find a Mazda CX-5 for me if I live outside BC?
Yes. The Car Finding Service covers the search, shortlist, inspection, negotiation and paperwork, and the car can be delivered anywhere in Canada.
