Mazda depreciation by model

The Mazda CX-5 is a premium-leaning compact crossover known for upscale interiors, sharp handling, and standard AWD on most trims. Its blend of near-luxury feel and Mazda reliability gives it above-average resale, with depreciation slightly better than segment average and retained value holding well through year 5.

The Mazda CX-9 is a three-row midsize SUV known for its upscale interior, sharp handling, and premium styling that punches above its mainstream price tag. Depreciation is slightly steeper than segment leaders like the Highlander due to smaller dealer footprint and a turbo-only powertrain, but well-kept Signature trims retain respectable resale value. With the CX-90 replacing it for 2024, late-model CX-9s are now entering a clearer depreciation curve as a known, discontinued nameplate.

The Mazda3 is a premium-feeling compact available as a sedan or hatchback, known for upscale interiors, sharp handling, and available AWD and turbo power. Its depreciation is slightly better than segment average, with strong retained value on well-equipped Turbo and Premium trims.
