Looking for an efficient, off-road-ready SUV with premium standard features? The sublimely modern 2025 Mazda CX-50 has an impressive collection of all-terrain features that make it an ideal pick for your next great getaway.
Tough and Stylish: The 2025 Mazda CX-50
The crowning glory of the CX-50 is its ultra-efficient 2.5-liter SKYACTIV-G powertrain, which is paired with a standard i-ACTIV AWD system that intelligently redistributes torque power between the front and rear drive axles based on road conditions, driver input, and optimal efficiency. The powertrain produces 187 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque.
The CX-50 comes with Mazda’s Intelligent Drive Select system, which allows drivers to toggle between off-road and sport driving modes on demand to maximize SUV performance. The estimated gas mileage for this athletic SUV is 25 MPG on urban roads and 31 MPG on the freeway. This model has a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 lbs.
Cabin Amenities
The cabin is decked out with practical features like one-touch power windows and a rear window defogger with a built-in timer. The dual-zone climate control system has a pollen filter to reduce in-cabin allergens for sensitive riders. A seven-inch LCD meter display sits behind the steering wheel to track vehicle stats, ambient temperature, and more.
The CX-50 is a five-passenger model with remote folding 60/40 rear seats that allow you to reconfigure the seating capacity of the SUV at the push of a button. This SUV has premium features like a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear selector. Leatherette upholstery is standard on the lower models, while trims like the 2.5 S Premium Plus have leather seating material.
Safety Systems
This model is equipped with Mazda Radar Cruise Control with stop-and-go technology and speed limit assist, a system that adapts the cruising speed to match recommended speed limits. A lane departure warning system lets drivers know when wheels drift into neighboring lanes, while integrated lane-keeping technology supports steering between visible lane markers. A rear cross-traffic alert system is also standard to prevent rear-end accidents.
The CX-50 also comes with a forward-facing intelligent braking system to prime the brakes for frontal collisions by detecting obstacles, warning drivers of impending collisions, and activating the emergency brakes to prevent a crash. If there is a collision, the SUV employs a post-collision braking system to reduce the severity of a secondary collision.
Other Key Specs
The CX-50 has plenty of space whether the rear seats are up or down. When all seats are in place, this SUV can tote up to 31.4 cubic feet of cargo, which means carrying coolers, large suitcases, and pet crates is effortless. Folding the rear seats flat extends the cargo area to carry a maximum of 56.3 cubic feet of cargo, which is ideal for large recreational gear.
Whether you’re driving in the city or taking on off-road trails, the adventure-ready CX-50 offers an engaging driving experience with plenty of practical features. Take a test drive at Alexandria Mazda in Alexandria, MN.
