We have numerous roof rack options that will fit your 2013 Mazda 5 but SportRack does not have a fit. If your Mazda 5 has the fixed mounting points on a naked roof (a naked roof has no bars or rails at all) then the most popular roof rack is from Rhino-Rack using bars # RRVA118B-2, feet # RRRLKVA, and fit kit # DK285.

If your Mazda 5 has the side rails that run front to back then the most economical roof rack option is from Rhino-Rack using bars # RRVA118B-2 and foot pack # RRSX100.
