Mazda has announced pricing for the 2027 Mazda CX-5, and the good news for shoppers is that the entry price has not moved. The base 2.5 S still starts at $29,990 (MSRP, before destination), the same as the 2026 model.
2027 Mazda CX-5 price changes
While the base trim holds steady, the rest of the lineup gets small increases, according to Mazda:
| Trim | MSRP | With $1,595 destination | Change vs 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.5 S | $29,990 | $31,585 | No change |
| 2.5 S Select | $32,140 | $33,735 | +$150 |
| 2.5 S Preferred | $34,550 | $36,145 | +$300 |
| 2.5 S Premium | $37,450 | $39,045 | +$550 |
| 2.5 S Premium Plus | $39,440 | $41,035 | +$550 |
The destination charge is $1,595, so the cheapest 2027 CX-5 costs $31,585 before taxes and dealer fees.
What is new for 2027
The biggest change is technology. Google built-in is now standard, which brings Google Maps and the Gemini AI voice assistant into the infotainment system across the range. That gives buyers built-in navigation and voice control without relying on a phone connection.
Same engine for now
The 2027 CX-5 continues with the 187-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. Mazda says more powertrain options will be announced in 2027, so buyers hoping for a hybrid or turbo version may want to wait for that announcement.
How the CX-5 price compares with rivals
At $29,990, the CX-5 remains one of the cheaper ways into a compact SUV, and every version comes with all-wheel drive as standard. Here is how its starting price compares with key rivals (MSRP, before destination):
| Model | Starting MSRP | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2027 Mazda CX-5 | $29,990 | AWD standard, 187-hp 2.5L |
| 2027 Kia Sportage | $28,990 | Gas LX |
| Hyundai Tucson | $29,700 | Gas SE, current model |
| 2027 Honda CR-V | $31,520 | Gas LX |
| 2026 Toyota RAV4 | $31,900 | Hybrid-only lineup |
The Sportage and Tucson start slightly lower, but the CX-5 includes all-wheel drive at its base price. The CR-V and RAV4 cost around $1,500 to $1,900 more to start. For more compact SUV options, see our 2027 Chevy Equinox, 2027 Ford Escape and Kia Sportage price guides.
Which 2027 CX-5 trim should you buy?
2.5 S ($29,990): best for tight budgets
The cheapest way in, and it now gets Google built-in like every other trim. A good choice if you mainly want reliable, comfortable transport.
2.5 S Select ($32,140): best value
Only $2,150 more than the base model. For most buyers this is the sweet spot between price and features.
2.5 S Preferred ($34,550): best for families
Steps up to 19-inch wheels and more comfort features for daily family use without reaching premium-trim prices.
2.5 S Premium and Premium Plus ($37,450 to $39,440): best for features
These top trims add luxury items such as leather seats and a power liftgate, and they get the biggest price increases for 2027 ($550 each). Compare them with a discounted 2026 model before you buy.
Should you buy now or wait?
If you want the lowest price, the base 2.5 S is unchanged, so there is no penalty for buying a 2027 over a leftover 2026. If you were planning a higher trim, a discounted 2026 model could save you a few hundred dollars, as long as you do not need the new Google features.
