Mazda CX-50 Depreciation & Resale Value

Mazda CX-50 keeps an estimated 57% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #268 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Mazda CX-50 retains an estimated 57% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #268 of 530 cars we track. That is roughly in line with the 58% five-year average for SUV in its class.

Most of the loss lands early: the Mazda CX-50 sheds about 4% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $29,900 it falls to around $16,983 by year five — a five-year loss near $12,917, about $7.08 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Mazda CX-50 bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
