This Bestest-approved 2024 Mazda CX-5 2.5 S Carbon Edition for sale in San Juan Capistrano is Mazda certified, so its powertrain warranty is good until around February 2031 or another 83,000 miles, and its bumper-to-bumper coverage runs until around February 2028.
In addition, it has 17,343 miles, far fewer than the roughly 30,000 on a typical used 2024 CX-5 listed in Orange County.
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 28 mpg combined. 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
Is Mazda certified worth it?
Yes, and it's cheap. Mazda's certified program adds 12 months or 12,000 miles of coverage after the factory 3-year/36,000-mile warranty ends, and extends powertrain coverage, for the engine and transmission, from 5 years or 60,000 miles to 7 years or 100,000 miles from the first sale, with no deductible. In Orange County, a certified used CX-5 usually lists for well under $1,000 more than a non-certified one, miles and trim being equal. Both transfer to you in full.
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 28 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.
