Both offers run through November 2, 2026, include 7,500 miles per year, and require tier-one credit approval.

This Month's 2026 Mazda CX-5 Lease Specials at a Glance
Both CX-5 lease specials are on the same vehicle, the 2026 CX-5 2.5 S AWD. The difference is how the cost is split between signing day and your monthly payment. Here is what each one includes, based on the dealership's posted offer terms:
- Standard lease: $219/month for 36 months: Due at signing is 15% of MSRP, the first month's payment, and a $750 bank fee, plus tax and fees. The 36 payments total $7,884.
- Sign & Drive lease: $369/month for 36 months, $0 down: No down payment, and the 36 payments total $13,284. Tax and other fees are still extra, so ask what you'll owe at signing.
- Mileage: 7,500 miles per year: That's 22,500 miles over the full term. Miles over that limit cost 15 cents each when you turn the vehicle in.
- Credit: tier-one approval required: Both offers depend on approval from the primary lender at its top credit tier.
- Offer window: through November 2, 2026: Lease specials change often, so confirm current terms with our team before you visit.
What You Get When You Lease a 2026 Mazda CX-5
A low payment only matters if the vehicle fits the way you drive. The 2.5 S AWD in these lease specials is the entry trim of the redesigned 2026 CX-5, and it still comes with a lot of standard equipment:
- Standard all-wheel drive: Every 2026 Mazda CX-5 trim comes with i-Activ AWD, which helps on wet Sunrise Highway mornings and through Long Island winters.
- 187 hp and 26 mpg combined: The 2.5L SKYACTIV-G engine and 6-speed automatic are EPA-rated at 24 city, 30 highway, and 26 combined mpg.
- A bigger screen, even on the base trim: The 2.5 S has a 12.9-inch display, and the available 15.6-inch screen is the largest Mazda has ever offered. Our CX-5 touchscreen and tech guide covers how it works.
- Safety tech that comes standard: Rear Automatic Emergency Braking and the i-Activsense driver-assist suite are included. Read more in our 2026 CX-5 safety features breakdown.
- Room to step up: The CX-5 lineup runs from the 2.5 S at $29,990 to the 2.5 S Premium Plus at $38,990 (plus a $1,495 destination charge). Higher trims will lease for more than the advertised special.

$219 vs. $369 a Month: Which CX-5 Lease Special Costs Less?
The $219 payment looks like the clear winner, but it asks for more cash up front. Here's an illustrative comparison using the base 2.5 S MSRP of $31,485 including destination. The MSRP on the specific vehicle you choose may be different.
- Standard lease total: about $13,357: 15% of $31,485 is about $4,723. Add the $750 bank fee and $7,884 in monthly payments, and the total is roughly $371 a month over the term, before tax and fees.
- Sign & Drive total: $13,284: The 36 payments of $369 add up to slightly less than the standard lease, and you keep about $5,000 in your pocket on signing day.
- Which one fits you: If you'd rather keep cash on hand, Sign & Drive is the simpler choice. If a lower monthly payment matters more to your budget, the $219 lease may be the better fit.
- Check your mileage first: If you drive 12,000 miles a year, you'd go about 13,500 miles over the limit, which adds roughly $2,025 at 15 cents a mile. Ask about higher-mileage options before you sign.
- Plan your lease end early: Excess wear and tear is your responsibility, so it helps to know your turn-in options well before month 36.
How Suffolk County Sales Tax Affects Your CX-5 Lease
Leasing in New York works differently from most states. Sales tax is calculated on your total lease payments plus any down payment, and the full amount is due at the start of the lease. You can pay it at signing or roll it into your monthly payment.
Suffolk County's combined sales tax rate is 8.75%. On the $219 lease, tax on the monthly payments alone comes to about $690. On the $369 Sign & Drive, it's about $1,162. Ask for a full quote with tax included before you compare offers from different dealers.
These lease specials require tier-one credit. If you're not sure where you stand, our Mazda finance team in Bay Shore can review your options. If you have a vehicle to trade, use our trade-in value tool to see how your equity could lower what you owe at signing.
