Mazda Drops Compelling 2025 CX-5 Lease Deal For October

If you can’t stretch to a luxury brand, a CX-5 could be the next best thing

Early next year, the all-new 2026 Mazda CX-5 will go on sale in the United States. Once again, it’s expected to be one of the more premium-feeling, luxurious choices in the compact crossover segment, although the jury is out on whether the touchscreen-heavy controls are an improvement.

Until then, the current 2025 CX-5 is still on sale, and despite its age, it doesn’t feel old. Some even feel it’s prettier than the new one, and it’s still well-built and great to drive. If you’re considering a 2025 CX-5, these are the lease deals available for the next few weeks.

This Month’s Mazda CX-5 Lease Deals

The Mazda CX-5’s lease price for October starts at $319 per month for the Select trim, which sits one notch above the base model. That monthly cost is based on a 36-month term with $3,999 due upon signing. It includes 10,000 miles per year—if you exceed this limit, you’ll have to pay $0.15 for every additional mile. The lease for this Mazda CX-5 excludes tax, title, license, and dealer options. The deal is only valid until November 3, 2025, and you’ll need to take delivery of the CX-5 by this date.

It’s cheaper to lease a Toyota RAV4 in October, but the Mazda is slightly better specified.

Alternatively, if you want another trim, there are a few other Mazda CX-5 leasing incentives. You can get $720 in lease cash on Premium Plus, Carbon Turbo, Turbo Premium, and Turbo Signature trims. On the fully loaded Turbo Signature, you’re looking at $3,498 due at signing, with a cost of $499/month over 36 months. 

Furthermore, you can save $750 by leasing a new CX-5 if you are a current Mazda customer, as part of the Mazda Loyalty Reward Program. These specific Mazda CX-5 lease deals could vary based on your location—the ones mentioned here apply to California. You can add your zip code to Mazda’s local site to check offers and incentives in your area.

The 2025 Mazda CX-5 starts off at $29,050 for the base model and goes all the way up to the Turbo Signature at $41,080.

Mazda CX-5 Powertrain and Features

The first five Mazda CX-5 trims, including the Select, get a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine with 187 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque. All-wheel drive is standard, as is a six-speed automatic transmission. It’s just about quick enough, and the CX-5 is still one of the most enjoyable crossovers around to drive.

If you buy cash, you’ll need to spend at least $32,630 if you want the cheapest turbocharged model. It produces 256 hp and 320 lb-ft, but sticks with the same transmission. 

All CX-5s get the following standard features:

• 10.25-inch color display
• Apple CarPlay and Android AUto
• Lane-keep assist
• Lane departure warning
• Radar cruise control
• Blind-spot monitoring

The Select trim featured as part of October’s lease deals adds dual-zone-climate control and rear air conditioning vents over and above the base model’s specs. It also gets leatherette upholstery instead of cloth, along with heated front seats.

At the upper end of the lineup, the CX-5 enjoys extras like heated rear seats, ventilated front seats, genuine leather upholstery, powered front seats, and wireless phone charging.

Final Thoughts

It may be tempting to wait for the all-new Mazda CX-5, but there’s a lot of life left in the current model. It has aged like fine wine, and even the cheaper trims feel a cut above their rivals from behind the wheel. The simple powertrain is proven and shouldn’t have any reliability troubles over the lease period—or beyond that, if you plan to buy one.

For an extra $10 per month, the CX-5 Select looks worth the minimal extra over the RAV4 LE, as the Toyota can feel a little basic at the bottom of the range.
