Yes, indeed. Thule's Motion XT L rooftop cargo box # TH629706 is a confirmed fit on the factory roof rack crossbars on your 2017 Mazda CX-5. I verified this item's fit with Thule.

This cargo carrier is an excellent choice since it is fairly lightweight (42-lbs) for its substantial 16-cubic-foot capacity; many similar-size cargo boxes weigh more. This is great not just for handling the box but also since it means more of your roof's weight capacity is left available for your actual cargo items. Lighter box = more stuff! I do suggest you check your owner's manual to confirm the CX-5's rooftop weight limit so you can keep the total load within its capabilities.

I also have a suggestion for you, the Telesteps folding aluminum step. This inexpensive item comes fully assembled, folds up for easy storage and it provides you with a foot of additional reach to make loading and unloading your cargo easier. Its handy in the garage too. The Telesteps step is part # TE97FR.
