Reliability verdict for the 2022 Mazda CX-5

With a reliability score well above the segment average, the 2022 Mazda CX-5 lands in strong territory for overall dependability. The absence of recalls keeps manufacturer-corrected risk limited, and the complaint volume is consistent with a model that isn’t showing widespread systemic trouble in the data.

Complaints are not broadly distributed across major systems. They cluster most heavily in exterior lighting, with smaller pockets in electrical and miscellaneous reports, and fewer entries tied to the engine and powertrain. That pattern points to a narrower set of owner-reported concerns rather than a vehicle defined by recurring core mechanical failures.

Overall, the data supports a low reliability risk level for this model year.
