If you're searching for a 2018 Mazda CX-5 Touring for sale in Novato, California, your search ends here. Active Auto Sales, located right in Novato in Marin County, has this well-maintained CX-5 Touring Sport Utility ready for a test drive — and at 61,190 miles, it's barely broken in for everything this capable crossover has to offer.

About This 2018 Mazda CX-5 Touring

The 2018 Mazda CX-5 is widely recognized as one of the most driver-focused compact SUVs of its generation, and the Touring trim hits the sweet spot between value and features. With 61,190 miles on the odometer, this CX-5 sits comfortably in the range where it's still got plenty of life ahead — Mazda crossovers regularly run well past 150,000 miles with proper maintenance. The exterior and interior of the Touring trim present a premium feel that punches above its class, giving buyers the experience of a luxury SUV without the luxury price tag.

2018 Mazda CX-5 Performance and Engine

SKYACTIV-G 2.5L Four-Cylinder Power

Under the hood sits Mazda's refined SKYACTIV-G 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, paired with a smooth six-speed automatic transmission with manual sport mode. In the real world, this combination delivers confident acceleration for merging onto Highway 101, effortless cruising along the Marin Sonoma Narrows, and genuinely fun spirited driving that most other compact SUVs simply can't match. Mazda's SKYACTIV technology was engineered for efficiency without sacrificing responsiveness — expect fuel economy in the range of 25 city and 31 highway mpg. This FWD configuration keeps weight down and handling nimble, making it an ideal fit for Bay Area commuters navigating everything from Novato surface streets to the winding roads heading toward Point Reyes.

Mazda CX-5 Touring Features and Interior

A Cabin Designed to Impress

The 2018 CX-5 Touring comes standard with a meaningful step up in comfort and technology compared to the base trim. Buyers can expect features including a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment display with Mazda Connect, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, heated front seats, a power driver's seat, leatherette seating surfaces, a rearview camera, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking. The cabin itself is crafted with soft-touch materials and tight panel gaps that feel more like a European luxury SUV than a mainstream crossover — something Mazda has consistently earned praise for across automotive reviews and owner communities alike.

Mazda CX-5 Reliability and Ownership

One of the Most Trusted Compact SUVs on the Road

The 2018 Mazda CX-5 has an outstanding reliability record. Consumer Reports has consistently rated the CX-5 among the top compact SUVs for dependability, and J.D. Power has echoed that sentiment across multiple vehicle dependability studies. Owners frequently report that routine maintenance — oil changes, tire rotations, and brake inspections — is all it takes to keep these vehicles running flawlessly for well over 100,000 miles. Common ownership themes include low repair costs, a strong dealer network, and affordable parts availability. For a used SUV in the $20,000–$25,000 range, few vehicles offer this combination of driving dynamics, build quality, and long-term peace of mind.
