The 2025 Mazda CX-50 is a spirited crossover with refined performance and spacious comfort. Its base powertrain delivers efficient driving dynamics, but you can opt for turbocharged power to boost driving fun.
6 Highlights of the 2025 Mazda CX-50
SKYACTIV-G Engines
Mazda equips the entry models of the CX-50 with an efficient SKYACTIV-G 2.5L 4-cylinder engine with cylinder deactivation: a feature that deactivates a portion of the cylinders during low-demand driving, such as highway cruising, for enhanced fuel economy. You’ll get 187 horsepower and 185 pound-feet of torque, as well as an EPA-estimated rating of 25 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway.
If you need more spirit, you can opt for the available SKYACTIV-G 2.5L twin-scroll turbo engine that makes up to 256 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque.
Responsive Handling
Regardless of the engine you choose, the standard i-ACTIV AWD system delivers road-gripping traction in all driving conditions. Sport and Off-Road drive modes are standard, while a towing mode is available on select trim levels. The base engine offers a towing capacity of 2,000 pounds, while the turbo engine can tow up to 3,500 pounds.
Sophisticated Styling
Vibrant aesthetics and sculpted body panels fuse into a dynamic design that gives the impression of motion even when the vehicle is parked. Utility features include LED headlights with auto on-and-off and high beam control. Standard LED daytime running lights boost your visibility in adverse weather, while automatic rain-sensing windshield wipers add convenience.
Premium Amenities
For easy access to your ride, each CX-50 comes with the Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry and Start, a system that allows you to open the doors without using the key fob, as long as the key fob is in the vehicle’s vicinity, such as in your pocket or purse. The interior is also packed with exciting features, including a 10.25-inch infotainment system with eight speakers and built-in Alexa.
Upscale Comfort
This spacious crossover has room for five passengers and comes with comfortable front bucket seats that are easy to adjust for customized support. Dual-zone climate control makes it easier to maintain the preferred temperature inside the cabin or set different temperatures for you and your copilot.
Cargo and Utility
With 31.4 cubic feet of cargo capacity behind the rear seats, this versatile crossover also provides plenty of room for daily items and luggage. The cargo area can be expanded up to 56.3 cubic feet, which is more than enough for carrying smaller pieces of furniture. In-cabin storage is also plentiful and includes a glove box, a covered storage bin inside the center console, and an overhead console with a holder for sunglasses.
