The 2020 Mazda CX-5 GX for buyers

No 2020 Mazda CX-5 GX is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Here is the 2020 Mazda CX-5 GX for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

What to check on the CX-5

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

Under the hood

The 2.5L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 26 litres, from its 8.5 L/100 km rating. In energy, every 100 km costs about $13.18 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,400 a year for 15,000 miles.

The CX-5 in everyday use

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.

Who it is for

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

Rent it for a week first

Rent first, buy later: a week with the CX-5 answers the big questions. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. If the CX-5 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

Running costs

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $131.80 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.18 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Narrowing it down

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
