About This 2018 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring

This 2018 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring Sport Utility is a genuinely exceptional find. With fewer than 19,000 miles, it sits well below the average annual mileage threshold, meaning it has been minimally used and is likely in outstanding mechanical and cosmetic condition. The Grand Touring is the top trim level in the CX-5 lineup, so this vehicle came loaded from the factory with premium features that elevate it well above base compact SUV competitors. Whether you're commuting through Novato or heading over the hills toward San Rafael or Mill Valley, this CX-5 is built to impress.

2018 Mazda CX-5 Performance and Engine

SKYACTIV-G 2.5L Four-Cylinder Engine

Under the hood sits Mazda's 2.5-liter SKYACTIV-G four-cylinder engine — a powerplant that Mazda engineered from the ground up for an ideal balance of performance and fuel efficiency. Producing 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque, the engine delivers confident, responsive acceleration whether you're merging onto Highway 101 or navigating Marin County's winding back roads.
 

6-Speed Automatic with Sport Mode

Paired with a six-speed automatic transmission featuring Sport Mode, the CX-5 Grand Touring gives drivers real control over gear selection — a feature that enthusiast drivers genuinely appreciate. Mazda's SKYACTIV drivetrain philosophy focuses on high compression ratios and reduced internal friction, which translates to real-world fuel economy typically in the range of 25 MPG city and 31 MPG highway. This is a front-wheel-drive model, well-suited to California's mild climate and the smooth roads of the greater Novato and Marin County area.

Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring Features and Interior

The Grand Touring trim is where the CX-5 truly shines as a luxury-adjacent compact SUV. Buyers stepping up to this trim level are rewarded with a genuinely premium cabin experience. Standard Grand Touring features include leather-trimmed seating with heating on the front seats, a Bose premium audio system, Mazda's MAZDA CONNECT infotainment system with navigation, a heads-up display, and advanced safety technology through the i-ACTIVSENSE suite.

Inside, the CX-5 Grand Touring's cabin feels thoughtfully crafted — soft-touch materials, precise switchgear, and a driver-focused layout that sets it apart from competitors like the Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4. The cabin is quiet at highway speeds, aided by additional sound-deadening Mazda added for the 2017 refresh that carried into this 2018 model year. Rear passengers enjoy a comfortable seating position with adequate legroom for adults, and the cargo area offers practical utility for weekend trips up to Point Reyes or grocery runs around Novato.

Mazda CX-5 Reliability and Ownership

The 2018 Mazda CX-5 has earned a reputation as one of the most reliable compact SUVs in its class. Mazda consistently earns top reliability scores from J.D. Power and Consumer Reports, and the CX-5 is frequently cited as one of the brand's strongest performers. Owners report very few issues in the first 100,000 miles when maintenance is kept current — and at just 18,024 miles, this vehicle is well ahead of any typical wear concerns.

Mazda's SKYACTIV engines are known for their longevity, in part because of the care put into their engineering tolerances. Routine oil changes, tire rotations, and brake inspections are straightforward and affordable compared to European luxury brands that offer similar cabin quality. If you're looking for a vehicle that holds its value, requires minimal unplanned maintenance, and drives with a level of engagement that most SUVs can't match, the 2018 CX-5 Grand Touring is one of the smartest choices in the used compact SUV market.
