Why consider a pre-owned Mazda CX-5?

The Mazda CX-5 has been a favourite of Canadian buyers in the compact SUV segment for a number of years already due to many characteristics that also make it a good choice for a pre-owned vehicle.

Fun behind the wheel

The Mazda CX-5 is one of the most fun-to-drive compact SUVs on the market since it benefits from the same engineering philosophies as all of the other Mazda vehicles. Since the CX-5 hasn’t changed much over the last few years, a pre-owned CX-5 will give you the same level of driving enjoyment as a new one. Over the current generation’s lifespan, the CX-5 has been available with a number of different engines that range from an economical 2.0L entry-level engine to a powerful turbocharged 2.5L engine with up to 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. For the ultimate in fuel efficiency, a diesel version was also briefly offered.

All of the latest technologies

A Pre-owned Mazda CX-5 is a great way to benefit from the latest in connectivity and convenience features. For example, the CX-5 has been available with many active safety features since the beginning of the current generation in 2017, such as the forward collision alert, the lane keeping assist, the adaptive cruise control, and the blind spot monitoring system. This all contributes to making everyone on board safer than in many other pre-owned vehicles. In terms of convenience, the Mazda CX-5 has been offered with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto since 2019, which means that the connectivity experience in a three-year-old CX-5 is very similar to the experience in a brand-new one.

Mazda Reliability

Mazda vehicles have long been known to be very reliable and easy to maintain, which is another reason why a pre-owned Mazda CX-5 is a good choice for anyone looking for a practical and reliable vehicle. Over the last few years, Mazda has been ranked above average in the J.D.Power rankings that determine the satisfaction of owners with their new vehicle. Since the CX-5 is the best-selling Mazda model, this means that its reliability plays a big part in the brand’s overall ranking.
