2022 Mazda CX-5 S Carbon Edition AWD

$24,640

Of the 166 used CX-5s for sale in Orange County on Nov. 2, 2026, only 22 are on Bestest.

How this one made the cut

The rest are too old or too new, have too many miles, or sit at independent lots or flagged dealers, or are a CX-5 version Bestest avoids: the 2021 Grand Touring Reserve, Carbon Edition Turbo and Signature. How Bestest picks every car

Also at the Tustin Auto Center: 12 more Bestest-approved compact SUVs at Tustin Mazda, Tustin Toyota and 5 other dealers. All at the same auto center as this CX-5, so you can see and drive them back to back.

See them all

This Bestest-approved 2022 Mazda CX-5 2.5 S Carbon Edition for sale in Tustin has 45,995 miles.

The 2.5 S Carbon Edition sits one step above the 2.5 S Preferred. Every CX-5 has all-wheel drive, and this one has the 187-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder, which the EPA rates at 26 mpg combined.

Mazda's 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty is probably done on a 2022 CX-5, but the 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, covering the engine and transmission, may still be running: it ends five years after the first sale, so sometime between mid-2026 and late 2027, and at 45,995 miles this one is inside the mileage cap. It transfers to you in full. Exact warranty coverage dates are determined by the date this CX-5 was first sold. When you check availability, we'll also email you a link to the free Carfax vehicle history report (when available), which includes the exact in-service date and how much warranty is left.

Questions shoppers ask about this CX-5

Should I buy the CX-5 turbo?

For most buyers the turbo is overkill, which is why only about 1 in 8 used CX-5s in Orange County has one, and why Mazda doesn't offer it on the redesigned 2026 CX-5. The 2.5 Turbo makes 256 hp on premium fuel against this car's 187. A used turbo CX-5 lists for about $3,400 more than a non-turbo CX-5 in Orange County, miles and year being equal, and the EPA rates it at 24 mpg combined against 26 for the 2.5 S. Unless you know you want the turbo, save your money. Even with the standard engine, the CX-5 is the most fun-to-drive SUV in its class.

The S Carbon Edition is priced a step above the S Preferred in the CX-5 lineup. Standard equipment on the S Carbon Edition includes:

​

  • Black or red leather interior
  • Red-stitched leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter
  • 19-inch black metallic alloy wheels
  • Gloss black side mirrors and front signature wing
  • Polymetal gray exterior paint
The 2022 Mazda CX-5 is the refreshed version, with a new grille, new LED headlights and taillights, and all-wheel drive standard on every trim. For 2022, Mazda also reworked the CX-5's seats, suspension dampers and transmission tuning.
