When you’re considering buying a small SUV, it’s important to look at reliability. Mazda CX-5s are extremely reliable and have been for years. At Frank Boucher Mazda of Racine, we’re excited to show off the latest CX-5 with all of its features. Of course, if you want to find a used one, you’ll find that it, too, offers an impressive Mazda CX 5 reliability rating.
Consumer Reports provides a Mazda CX 5 review every year based on reliability – and it has been given high marks ever since 2013.
The CX5 is a top-ranking SUV, and RepairPal has even placed it 1st out of 26 midsize SUVs in the category of reliability. This is based on the average annual repair costs. $447 is the average cost, which indicates that it is an excellent cost. When you consider buying an SUV, the cost to maintain it is critical. After all, SUVs that aren’t as reliable will cost you considerably more to maintain, and that can add up significantly over the life of the vehicle.
Within JD Power studies, the CX-5 always does well, too. Consistently, the vehicle places within the top 3 in the “Compact SUV” category.
Even within reviews left by owners of the CX-5, “reliable” is a common way to describe the SUV. It is well-built and knows how to stay out of the mechanic’s shop.
It seems as though some cars and SUVs always have problems – recalls, common failures, and more. However, that’s not the case with the Mazda CX-5. In fact, it consistently has fewer problems than many other SUVs within the same category.
The CX-5, over 14 model years, has only had 2651 problems reported by its owners. The 2016 model year, according to Car Problem Zoo, had the most reported problems at 566. Even then, that’s a low number of issues across its history, don’t you think?
What this means is that you can confidently buy the CX-5 (in any model year) and know that it is not going to be wracked with problems.
Any time you read a Mazda CX 5 review, whether it’s on US News & World Report, Edmunds, Car & Driver, or any other publication, you’ll hear the words “reliable” and “dependable.” This speaks highly of the craftsmanship as well as the countless features that are included as standard within the Mazda SUV.
It has been well-engineered, providing you with an impressive suspension system as well as a Skyactiv engine. This offers reliability on the roads as well as responsive handling that offers control.
The Mazda i-Activesense Safety Suite provides you with all sorts of driver-assistance technologies that provide you with more confidence behind the wheel. These include:
Blind spot monitoring to alert you when there’s a vehicle in a blind spot.
Rear cross-traffic alerts tell you when there is traffic as you back out of a spot.
Smart city brake support with pedestrian detection identifies if there are cars or people ahead of you (and will apply the brakes, if necessary, too).
Radar cruise control will maintain a set speed and distance from the car in front of you and make adjustments in traffic.
Lane departure warnings will tell you if you drift out of your lane.
High beam control makes driving at night easier by automatically changing headlights when needed.
It’s not just the safety features that make the CX-5 so reliable. There’s also an advanced air bag system with front, side, and side-impact airbags that will help to keep you and your passengers safe in the event of a collision.
It is clear that Mazda has put a lot of thought into the features that make the SUV so reliable. It’s why the Mazda CX 5 reliability score is so high year after year.

Whether you want to explore a new model or an older year, we are confident you’re going to fall in love with this midsize SUV.
