Used crankshafts vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
Yes, every Mazda CX-5 has a crankshaft — it is a core internal engine component present in every petrol and diesel variant across all generations, including the first-generation KE series (2012–2017) and the second-generation KF series (2017-onwards). There is no CX-5 variant where the crankshaft is absent, unlike parts such as a propshaft which only exist on certain drivetrain layouts.
Both a 2014 and 2016 CX-5 fall within the first-generation KE series (2012–2017), so they share the same generation, but fitment ultimately follows the engine code rather than the year. Check your V5 or run a VIN check to confirm the exact engine code on both vehicles, then supply that to the breaker — they can match against their stock precisely.
The KE series ran from 2012 to 2017 and the KF series launched in 2017, so a 2016 and a 2018 car sit on opposite sides of a generation boundary and are treated as different engines for fitment purposes. Even where the displacement appears similar (for example both generations offered a 2.2-litre diesel), internal specifications including stroke and bearing dimensions can differ between the two engine families. Always confirm with the breaker against both registration numbers before purchasing.
No — trim level has no bearing on crankshaft fitment whatsoever. SE, SE-L, Sport Nav, and GT Sport are specification grades that determine interior and technology features, not the engine internals. The only details that matter are the engine code, fuel type (2.0-litre petrol, 2.5-litre petrol, or 2.2-litre diesel), and whether the car is manual or automatic, so confirm the engine code from your V5 and pass that to the breaker.
The crankshaft itself sits within the engine block and is not directly affected by whether the car drives two or four wheels — the drivetrain layout does not change the crank specification. What does matter is the engine code, which you can confirm from your V5 or a VIN check; supply this to the breaker so they can match the correct unit regardless of drivetrain.
The SkyActiv-D 2.2-litre diesel engine is the unit to focus on, but within that family there can be differences between the KE and KF generations and potentially mid-production revisions that affect internal tolerances. Your engine code — stamped on the block and listed on your V5 — is the single most reliable way to ensure the breaker supplies an accurate match, so always quote it when requesting a quote on Findapart.
