Mazda CX-5 Depreciation & Resale Value

Mazda CX-5 keeps an estimated 62% of its recent market value after 5 years — #170 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Mazda CX-5 retains an estimated 62% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #170 of 530 cars we track. That is 5 points above the 58% five-year average for SUV in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Mazda CX-5 sheds about 13% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $30,720 it falls to around $19,169 by year five — a five-year loss near $11,551, about $6.33 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Mazda CX-5 bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
