Mazda Reliability Awards

In 2021, Mazda was awarded the coveted US News’ Best Car Brand Award, and it won the 2021 IIHS Top Safety Pick! It also received 2nd Place from Consumer Reports for overall reliability! Mazda’s reliability is just the beginning. The brand is known for its low cost for maintenance, with annual ownership costs averaging approximately $462.

According to Consumer Reports, Mazda has recently displaced Lexus and Toyota as the brand with the highest reliability. This ranking comes from actual vehicle owners, not the opinions of Consumer Reports’ excellent staff. Consumer Reports evaluates and reports reliability based on owner survey responses only.

MAZDA CX-5 Reliability

So, what about Mazda CX-5 reliability? After all, it’s Mazda’s top-selling vehicle. The Mazda CX-5 crossover has earned scores of 4 or 5 from Consumer Report on reliability every year since 2013. In seven of those years, the Mazda CX-5 earned the highest possible scores. The fun-to-drive Miata has never received a score lower than 4 and has earned a perfect score of 5 points for eight model years. Mazda’s largest vehicle, the three-row crossover CX-9 earned a score of 5 for the past two years!

While Mazda vehicles are perfect for families, some Mazda models are more reliable than others. A vehicle’s reliability is judged based on the number of recalls, the frequency and severity of reported mechanical issues, and annual average maintenance costs. Using data from J.D. Power’s Quality & Reliability ratings and information from Edmunds.com’s True Cost to Own® estimates, below are the models that ranked highest in Mazda reliability:
