SPORTY, UPSCALE, ALL-WHEEL DRIVE, ONE-OWNER, OFF-LEASE, NO-ACCIDENT, NONSMOKER, DRIVING JOY AWAITS! Few vehicles in its class make an ordinary commute feel as engaging as the 2024 Mazda CX-5 2.5 S Preferred, and this Rhodium White Metallic example with a black interior is an especially appealing one. It pairs a power moonroof, a power liftgate and heated, power-adjustable front seats with the sharp, balanced handling that has made the CX-5 a favorite among drivers who care how a vehicle feels on the road. Standard all-wheel drive means this CX-5 is ready for whatever the weather brings. Mazda's i-ACTIV AWD system keeps watch on road conditions and sends torque where it is needed, so rain-slicked on-ramps, snowy side streets and long highway runs all feel composed rather than nervous. The history is just as easy to like. CARFAX shows a single owner, a personal lease that has since ended and no accidents reported, with the odometer hovering around the 29,400-mile mark and regular service at the Mazda dealership that originally sold the vehicle. Why Shoppers Buy This Model Shoppers choose the Mazda CX-5 because it simply feels better to drive than most of what it competes against. The steering is quick and accurate, the chassis stays flat and confident through corners, and the cabin looks and feels like it belongs a price class higher, with clean design, soft-touch surfaces and controls that are easy to use without looking away from the road. That combination has made the CX-5 one of Mazda's best-selling models. Compared with rivals such as the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4 and Subaru Forester, the CX-5 puts more weight on driving enjoyment and interior ambience, while those competitors lean harder toward maximum passenger and cargo room. Buyers who want a compact crossover that makes the daily drive something to look forward to, rather than something to get through, tend to land right here. Automotive Press and Industry Recognition The 2024 CX-5 drew strong marks from the automotive press. Edmunds scored it 8.1 out of 10, praising its engaging handling, upscale cabin and quiet highway manners while noting that the standard engine favors smoothness over outright speed. Autotrader's editors compared the interior favorably with some European luxury brands and rated the ride and handling as the best in the affordable compact SUV segment, and the IIHS gave the CX-5 its top Good rating in the small overlap front, moderate overlap front and updated side crash tests. Warranty The odometer on this CX-5 currently reads 29,379 miles. This CX-5 is STILL COVERED by transferable Mazda factory warranty protection, measured from an estimated in-service date of September 2023. Remaining Transferable Factory Coverage: Powertrain Limited Warranty: five years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, running through September 2028 with 30,621 miles remaining, protecting the major engine, transmission and drivetrain components that matter most to long-term ownership. Mileage tells a favorable story as well. Spread across the time since its estimated in-service date, the odometer works out to under 10,000 miles per year, comfortably below the typical annual figure. CARFAX records dealer service that includes a maintenance inspection and an oil and filter change in February 2026, along with tire rotations and brake, battery and charging-system checks at earlier visits. Extended service plans are available for owners who want protection beyond these factory terms. Standard Features The 2.5 S Preferred steps up from the Select grade with a power moonroof, a power liftgate, an eight-way power driver's seat with memory settings, a six-way power passenger seat and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink. These are the upgrades owners notice every single day, and they turn routine errands into something a little more indulgent while the standard all-wheel-drive powertrain keeps the CX-5's sporty character fully intact. Mechanical Features Under the hood is Mazda's 2.5-liter SKYACTIV-G four-cylinder, producing 187 horsepower at 6,000 rpm. Because it is naturally aspirated, power builds in a smooth, linear way you can feel through the throttle rather than arriving in a sudden surge, and the six-speed automatic transmission keeps shifts clean and unobtrusive, a conventional design many owners prefer for its familiar, easygoing manners. The i-ACTIV AWD system, standard here, continuously monitors conditions and shifts torque to the wheels with the most grip, while G-Vectoring Control Plus subtly adjusts engine torque in turns to settle weight onto the front tires. The result is a vehicle that feels stable and planted in poor weather and eager on a winding road, supported by four-wheel independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. Exterior Features Mazda's Kodo design language, which the company describes as the soul of motion, favors clean, flowing surfaces with a minimum of fussy detail, and the CX-5 wears it well. This example's Rhodium White Metallic paint highlights those surfaces, letting the metallic finish catch the light along the shoulders and hoo
