The 2025 Mazda CX-5 in a Nutshell
Yes, we know, the all-new CX-5 is coming to showrooms pretty soon. That said, the current model is sticking around for a little bit longer, although it has to be said that this generation is about a decade old now.
That said, the CX-5 has still helped Mazda reach new sales heights. It replaced the largely forgettable Tribute back in 2012, and the second-generation was introduced in late 2016. Since then, it has only received incremental changes, culminating in a facelift for the 2022 model year. As we’re in the final stretch of the second-gen’s production run, there are no changes to report here.

2025 Mazda CX-5 Lease Deal for January
With the third-generation arriving in dealers soon, Mazda is keen to get its 2025 stock out the door as quickly as it can. With that, there is a temptingly low lease deal for the outgoing model. Mind you, it’s just for one trim, but it’s an offer that’s pretty hard to refuse.
This month’s lease deal for the 2025 CX-5 is for the entry-level 2.5 S AWD. It goes for just $189 per month for 33 months with $4,771 due at signing. That promo includes a lease cash offer of $600, allowing for that sub-$200 monthly. It’s $0.15 per mile for all mileage over 10,000 miles per year, and the offer is valid until February 2, 2026.

2025 Mazda CX-5 Highlights
We know the current model is bowing out soon, but it’s still worth mentioning what it has to offer. Prices start at just $29,050, making it one of the least expensive SUVs you can buy with all-wheel drive standard. All trims also get blind-spot monitoring, LED headlights, and i-Activesense advanced driver-assists. Go one step above the base 2.5 S AWD for the S Select, and that gains larger 19-inch wheels, heated seats, dual-zone climate, and leather seats.
For the S Preferred, the engine gets a stop-start system and power seats, while the S Carbon Edition gains a 10-speaker Bose sound system, black wheels and trims, and wireless phone integration plus wireless charging. Premium Plus adds a head-up display, a 360-degree camera, and ventilated front seats. The three remaining trims are all turbocharged, namely the Carbon Turbo, Turbo Premium, and Turbo Premium, all getting additional equipment.
All non-turbo models use the familiar 2.5-liter engine with 187 hp and 186 lb-ft, while turbo models boost power up to 227 hp and 310 lb-ft.

Final Thoughts
It’s not the newest compact crossover on the block, but the outgoing CX-5 still has a lot to offer. It still drives well for a crossover, and it’s practical enough to please most. The value proposition is incredible, and the turbo models have a decent amount of shove. With lease rates under $200 per month, those in the market for a compact crossover should visit their nearest Mazda dealer to get that deal.
