2016 Mazda CX-5 Performance and Engine

SKYACTIV-G 2.5L Four-Cylinder

Under the hood sits Mazda's 2.5-liter SKYACTIV-G four-cylinder engine, one of the most well-regarded powerplants in the compact SUV segment. Producing around 184 horsepower, it delivers a spirited driving experience that feels genuinely athletic compared to rivals. The six-speed automatic transmission with Sport mode lets you take greater control when you want it — ideal for navigating the rolling hills and winding roads common throughout Marin County.

Front-wheel drive keeps things simple and efficient, making this CX-5 an excellent choice for daily commuting across the Richmond Bridge, tackling Highway 101 through Novato, or weekend runs up to Sonoma County. Fuel economy typically lands around 26 MPG city and 35 MPG highway, which makes a real difference when you're filling up regularly in the Bay Area.

Mazda CX-5 Touring Features and Interior

Technology and Comfort

The Touring trim is where Mazda really starts adding meaningful content, and this example is well-equipped. Inside you'll find a comfortable cloth interior with power-adjustable seating, so finding your ideal driving position takes seconds. A built-in navigation system means you're not dependent on your phone for directions — a genuine convenience for anyone exploring Marin's back roads or commuting into San Francisco.

Bluetooth connectivity keeps your hands on the wheel and your calls and music flowing seamlessly. A backup camera makes parking in tight spots — think downtown Mill Valley or a packed Trader Joe's lot — far less stressful. Keyless entry and push-button start add a layer of everyday convenience, and the premium sound system elevates every drive. The CX-5's cabin is also notably quiet and well-insulated for its class, with materials and ergonomics that feel a cut above most competitors.

Mazda CX-5 Reliability and Ownership

The CX-5 has earned a reputation as one of the most dependable compact crossovers on the market. Mazda consistently scores at or near the top in J.D. Power dependability studies, and the 2016 model year is no exception. Owners frequently report low maintenance costs, minimal issues well past 100,000 miles, and a driving experience that doesn't dull over time.

The 2.5-liter SKYACTIV engine is known for clean, efficient combustion that reduces carbon buildup — a common issue in other engines that can lead to costly repairs. Routine maintenance like oil changes, brake service, and tire rotations are straightforward and affordable. If you're looking for a used SUV in Marin County that won't drain your wallet at the mechanic, this generation of CX-5 is a proven choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2016 Mazda CX-5 a good buy?

Absolutely. The 2016 CX-5 is widely considered one of the best used compact SUVs available at this price point. It offers a fun-to-drive character, strong fuel economy, a well-designed interior, and excellent long-term reliability — qualities that hold up well past 100,000 miles with proper maintenance.

How many miles is too many on a used Mazda CX-5?

With regular oil changes and standard maintenance, a well-kept CX-5 can comfortably reach 150,000 to 200,000 miles. At 75,463 miles, this example is just past the midpoint of its expected lifespan — meaning there are many dependable years ahead of the next owner.

What does the Mazda CX-5 Touring trim include?

The Touring trim adds significant value over the base Sport, including a navigation system, backup camera, Bluetooth, power driver's seat, premium audio, and keyless entry and start. It delivers a near-luxury experience without the price premium of the top-tier Grand Touring.

Is front-wheel drive okay on a Mazda CX-5 in Northern California?

For most driving in the Bay Area and Marin County, front-wheel drive is perfectly adequate. The CX-5's FWD system handles wet roads, hills, and freeway driving with confidence. Drivers who frequently visit Tahoe or the Sierra Nevada in winter may prefer AWD, but for daily Bay Area use, this drivetrain is a sensible and efficient choice.

Does this CX-5 have a clean title?

Yes. This 2016 Mazda CX-5 Touring carries a clean title and has a CARFAX vehicle history report available. Ask the team at Active Auto Sales to walk you through the report before your purchase.
