- Generation
- Tap a generation (↓) to jump to its full breakdown below; the colour maps back to the timeline strip + legend above.
- Price range
- P75 → P25 of asking — the middle half of listings at that age sits inside this band. Outliers above and below excluded.
- Down payment
- MAS Notice 642 LTV cap applied to the age's median asking: 30% when OMV is up to S$20k, 40% above. Max loan tenure 7 years. Rows marked * mix both OMV buckets — we display the conservative 40% figure so the quote never under-states what a luxury-OMV listing at that age would actually require.
- Availability
- High when this age's listing share is ≥1.5× the model's uniform expectation, low when ≤0.6×, medium otherwise. Model-relative, so an evenly-spread model lands all-medium.

Tap any dot on the chart to see its scores.
- Brand reliability
- Consumer-survey composite — JD Power · WhatCar · Consumer Reports. Same score for every variant of a given make.
- Resale strength
- 100 − 3× annualised tangible-decay (COE-stripped). Fitted from each variant's asking-price-by-age regression then averaged at model level.
- Peer set
- Every same-segment model with ≥5 active PARF listings whose variants fit a depreciation curve. Practicality isn't plotted — it's a body-shape constant within the segment, so it would be the same for every dot.
- Quadrants
- The crosshair marks the segment median on each axis. Top-right (Safe Bets) is strong on both; top-left (Hidden Gems) holds value above what the brand reputation suggests; bottom-right (Bargain Buys) is well-built but depreciates fast — buy cheap; bottom-left (High Risk) is soft on both.

Verdict
What Car? petrol reliability score 98.4% (6th of 76 family SUVs) — among the most reliable SUVs in its class. Skyactiv-G 2.5L NA is the boring durable choice — same engine family as Mazda 3 BM/BP + Mazda 6 GJ. Same walnut-blast preventive at 50-80k km for intake-valve carbon, same RON98 knock sensitivity. KF-specific: 2018-2020 cars with 2.5L cylinder-deactivation engines have a documented cylinder-head cracking pattern (serious + expensive if out of warranty). 2.5T turbo is the more complex pairing; petrol NA is the cleaner pick. Post-2021 facelift addresses earlier quirks.

What's good
- Post-2021 facelift 2.5L NA with documented walnut-blast service — same Skyactiv-G discipline as Mazda 3 BP / Mazda 6 GJ. The walnut blast at 50-80k km is the documented carbon preventive. Post-facelift cars also got tighter cabin NVH + refinements.
- Documented fuel-quality history (RON98) — same Skyactiv-G knock-sensitivity story; a car run on RON98 in the receipts avoids long-term knock-related ring wear. Cross-reference to Mazda 3 BM/BP + Mazda 6 GJ.
What to watch
- 2018-2020 2.5L NA with cylinder deactivation + no engine warranty paperwork — the documented cracked-cylinder-head subset. Catastrophic when out of warranty; engine work well into 5 figures. Verify cylinder-deactivation system + any engine-warranty paperwork before signing.
- Rough idle / hesitation past 80k km without carbon-cleaning history — same intake-valve carbon buildup pattern as Mazda 3 / Mazda 6. S$800-1.5k for walnut blast locally; price in if not already done.

Common questions about the Mazda Cx 5
- How much does a used Mazda Cx 5 cost in Singapore?
- Most used Mazda Cx 5 on the market are around 7 years old, asking roughly S$72k–S$80k (typically about S$76k). That's the age with the widest choice — and the most sellers competing, so it's where you'll have the most room to bargain.
- How much does a used Mazda Cx 5 depreciate per year?
- A used Mazda Cx 5 loses value at a fairly steady pace — around 24% a year — with no real plateau. An older one costs less but keeps falling at much the same rate, so there's no single 'bargain age': buy on price and condition, not on timing.
- Is the Mazda Cx 5 reliable?
- In our read, the Mazda Cx 5 scores 80 out of 100 on brand reliability. That still varies by generation and how the individual car was looked after, so always check the service history before you commit.
- What should I expect to pay for a used Mazda Cx 5 with a given mileage?
- It depends on the exact variant, age and mileage — a higher-mileage car should ask less. Use the price modeller on this page to get a fair-price range for a specific age and mileage, so you know what to offer.
- Where do these Mazda Cx 5 figures come from?
- They're worked out from current used-Mazda Cx 5 listings in Singapore — asking prices, mileage and registration years — not past transaction prices. We refresh them regularly, and we flag thin data rather than guess.
