The 2019 Mazda CX-5 GX: before you buy

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2019 Mazda CX-5 GX; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page puts the 2019 Mazda CX-5 GX in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

Before you sign for the CX-5

NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 271 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked.

The figures, translated

Under the hood: the 2.2L 4-cylinder turbo and front-wheel drive. It runs on diesel, sold at most highway stations. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Plan on about 24 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 8.1 L/100 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $12.56 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

What to expect from the CX-5

The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.

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 stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Try before you buy

If the CX-5 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A test week in the CX-5 tells you more than any review. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.

Money matters

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $125.60 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.56 in fuel.

Picking a year and a trim

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Compare the GX with the other trims of the same year before you decide.
