Fitment on a used parking sensor varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
Yes, parking sensors were fitted to the Mazda CX-5 across both generations — the first-generation (2012–2017) and the second-generation (2017-onwards) — though they were typically standard on higher-spec trims and optional or absent on entry-level trims. Rear parking sensors are the most common, with some higher-spec variants also receiving front sensors. When sourcing a used sensor, it is worth confirming with the breaker exactly which sensors were fitted to the donor vehicle and where they were located.
Both a 2014 and a 2016 CX-5 fall within the first generation (2012–2017), so they share the same basic platform and sensor mounting points. Compatibility within this generation is generally strong, but connector pinouts and sensor part numbers can vary, so confirm with the breaker that the sensor number matches your registration before buying.
The first and second-generation CX-5 are substantially different vehicles with redesigned bumpers and revised parking sensor systems, so parts crossing this boundary are unlikely to be a straight swap. You should treat this as a no-go unless the breaker can specifically confirm the sensor part number and connector type match your car's registration.
Trim level does not affect the physical sensor unit itself — the sensor fitted to a SE-L and a GT Sport Nav is the same component if the car was built with parking sensors. What can differ is whether a particular trim had sensors fitted at all from the factory, and higher trims may have front sensors in addition to the standard rear ones, so confirm with the breaker that the donor vehicle was fitted with sensors in the same positions as yours.
No — the drivetrain layout has no bearing on parking sensor fitment or compatibility on the CX-5. Parking sensors relate to the bumper and control module rather than the drivetrain, so a sensor from a 2WD car will be the same part as one from an AWD car, provided the generation and bumper position match.
Parking sensors from breakers are very commonly supplied unpainted in their base colour, which is typically black or grey, and will need to be colour-coded to match your CX-5's paint if they are visible on the bumper. This is a cosmetic consideration rather than a fitment one — the sensor will work regardless of colour — so factor in the cost of painting when getting quotes.
