I picked up the car. Our salesman said they were down to 14 CX-5's in inventory.
They had 70 the start of day Friday.
They said half of what were on-site were 'less desirable' exterior/interior color combinations.
They're getting more delivered mid-April.

Checked with Grok. Looks like CX-50 is the only Mazda model made in the U.S.; but if parts come from other countries could still be affected by tariffs.

The CX-5 is Mazda's best selling model...that's why they didn't discontinue it when they introduced the CX-50...and the turbo really matches the sporty suspension tuning.

Our local Mazda dealer is doing a landslide business in CX-5s with folks trying to beat the expected price increases due to the tariffs.

I'm driving a CX-30 Turbo (same size class as the Kona) which has the same engine as the CX-5 Turbo. I didn't go for the CX-5 only because we already have two...a 2016 (daughter) and a 2022 (wife). I drove a loaner CX-50 for a day and didn't care for it...seemed more "detached". I was looking for a used Porsche Macan, but could find one with the engine I wanted in my price range.

Picked up my newly leased 2025 CX-5 Signature 10 days ago. I got $1100 in equity applied to the new lease for turning in my 2023 Signature. The 2023 is probably worth more now due to the pending tariff but the selling price for the 2025 would also be higher.

All in all I'm happy. Email negotiated with several dealers to get the best price. They say that 1.25% of the MSRP with zero down is a good monthly payment on leases these days, and my new payment is 1.16% of the 2025's MSRP.
