Certified 2024 Mazda CX-5 S Select Package AWD

$22,961

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 for sale in Placentia: 12 more Bestest-approved cars at Audi North OC and Fairway Ford Placentia.

This Bestest-approved 2024 Mazda CX-5 2.5 S Select for sale in Placentia has 30,612 miles, and likely has about 2 years or 29,000 miles left on its original powertrain warranty.

The 2.5 S Select sits one step above the base 2.5 S, and along with the Carbon Edition it's one of the two CX-5 trims you'll see most often at Orange County dealers. 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.

Listing history suggests this CX-5 was first sold in March 2024, so it should still carry both of Mazda's factory warranties. The bumper-to-bumper warranty, covering nearly everything but wear items, runs until around March 2027 or 36,000 miles, and its powertrain coverage, for the engine and transmission, until around March 2029 or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. Both transfer 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.

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 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.

The S Select is the base of the CX-5 lineup. Standard equipment includes:

​

  • Mazda radar cruise control with stop & go
  • Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
  • 10.25-inch center display
  • Six-speaker sound system
  • Black leatherette seats
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter
  • Three-level heated front seats
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.
