Of the 166 used CX-5s for sale in Orange County on Nov. 2, 2026, only 23 are on Bestest.

How this one made the cut

Model: The CX-5 is one of seven Bestest-approved compact SUVs. (Six compact SUVs don't appear on Bestest.)
Year: 2024 is inside Bestest's 2021-2024 window, and not a CX-5 year Bestest rejects.
Trim and powertrain: 2.5 Carbon Turbo (gas). Not a CX-5 version on Bestest's exclusions list.
Miles: 22,647 or about 8,000 a year. That's under Bestest's limits of 50,000 miles and 12,000 a year.
Dealer: One of Orange County's 5 Bestest-approved Mazda franchise dealers.

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: 13 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 2024 Mazda CX-5 2.5 Carbon Turbo for sale in Tustin has 22,647 miles, far fewer than the roughly 30,000 on a typical used 2024 CX-5 listed in Orange County.

The 2.5 Carbon Turbo sits two trims below the range-topping 2.5 Turbo Signature. Every CX-5 has all-wheel drive, and this one has the 2.5-liter turbo four-cylinder, rated at 256 hp on premium gas and 227 hp on regular, which the EPA rates at 24 mpg combined.

Listing history suggests this CX-5 was first sold in November 2023, so Mazda's 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty is probably done, but the 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, covering the engine and transmission, should run until around November 2028 or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, and it transfers to you in full. 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.

The 2024 Mazda CX-5 is the third year of Mazda's 2022 refresh, with all-wheel drive standard on every trim and a six-speed automatic with both engines. Every 2024 CX-5 has a 10.25-inch center screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
