A used window switch that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
The Mazda CX-5 ran as a first generation from 2012 to 2017, so a 2013 and a 2017 are both within the same generation and window switches are generally compatible within that run, but confirm with the breaker against your registration as minor mid-life running changes can affect connectors and switch blanks. The CX-5 moved to a second generation from 2017 onwards, so if either vehicle is the newer shape, the switches are a different design and will not interchange. Always give the breaker both the donor and recipient registrations to be sure.
The second generation CX-5 launched in 2017 and your 2019 model falls within that generation, so you should be looking at donor vehicles from 2017 onwards for the best chance of a match. Within the second generation there were detail updates, so confirm the exact switch assembly with the breaker using your registration rather than year alone. A switch from the first generation (2012–2017) will not be a direct fit.
Trim level — whether Sport, SE, SE-L, Sport Nav, or GT Sport — does not fundamentally change which window switch assembly is fitted to the CX-5, as the door hardware is shared across the range within a generation. You may find cosmetic differences such as the finish or surround colour between trims, but the switching mechanism itself should correspond. Confirm with the breaker that the switch matches your generation and they can advise on any cosmetic variation to expect.
Yes, it matters — the OS (offside, driver's right) master switch panel is a different unit from the NS (nearside, passenger's left) individual switch, as the driver's door typically carries the master control for all windows while passenger doors have single-channel switches. You need to tell the breaker which door the switch is for so they can supply the correct unit. Mixing OS and NS switches will mean the replacement will not operate correctly or may not fit the aperture.
Window switches are fitted to all Mazda CX-5 variants regardless of engine — petrol, diesel, or the later mild-hybrid — as electric windows are standard across the entire model range. You do not need to match the engine type of the donor vehicle when sourcing a switch. Focus instead on matching the generation (first gen 2012–2017 or second gen 2017 onwards) and the correct door position (OS or NS).
The 2016 car is a first generation CX-5 and the 2018 is a second generation model, which was an entirely new body introduced in 2017, so the switch assemblies are different and the units are not a straightforward swap. You should source a switch from a second generation (2017–present) donor for your 2018 vehicle. Give the breaker both registrations and they can verify the correct part before you commit.
