What is the 2026 Mazda CX-5 2.5 S Select?

The second-cheapest of the CX-5's five trims in our data. The 2.5 S Select starts at $31,990. On price, it sits between the 2.5 S ($29,990) and the 2.5 S Preferred ($34,250).

Our CX-5 data has all five US 2026 third-generation gasoline grades and their factory equipment. It doesn't have 2025 previous-generation , the announced calendar-2027 , other markets, paint and interior colors, and port/dealer yet, so something missing from this page may still be offered.
