If you’re looking for a “cheap” 2025 Mazda CX-5, a familiar trim returns. New car shopping has been a fairly expensive prospect these days, especially if you’re shopping in hotly competitive segments like compact crossovers. Automakers have been removing more affordable base trims from their lineups, effectively hiking the entry-level price tag like the Mazda CX-5 did for the 2024 model year. Yet here we are several months later, and the company is doing an about-face: Reintroducing its S trim (with no special affixes like ‘Select’ or ‘Premium Plus’) for 2025.

2025 Mazda CX-5 Brings the Base S Trim Back, Putting Its Starting Price (Just) Under $30,000

The manual gearbox isn't the most popular transmission in the United States. Only a select few prefer a sick shift, with mainstream consumer interest having largely shifted to automatic and CVT units. On top of the convenience of the automatic or CVT, manuals aren't a cheaper option anymore. Back in the day, the manual transmission was standard kit on many cars, with the automatic options having an up-charge, but that's no longer the case. And since automatics are generally more frugal, more buyers are opting for those - and thus, also more manufacturers.

For many, the Mazda Miata MX-5 "is the answer" when it comes to a fun, affordable sports car. And why not? After all, the Miata has built itself quite the reputation over the course of the last four generations, offering consumers sharp, low-weight handling, plus legendary driver engagement. While not the quickest thing in a straight line, there should be little doubt that the Miata is a fantastic little roadster, especially in the twisty bits, and it's every bit deserving of its many titles and accolades. That said, when it comes to raw sales figures, the Miata is simply not the answer. In fact, there's one American sports car in particular that has outsold the plucky little Mazda by a factor of six this year.
