The CX-50 is the latest nameplate to join Mazda’s lineup of handsome, fun-to-drive vehicles. However, the new compact crossover goes against the Japanese automaker’s delicate design language to wear a more rugged finish.
The 2023 Mazda CX-50 can be had with a gutsy four-cylinder engine that comes in two distinct flavors. Besides its head-turning exterior and impressive powertrain options, the CX-50 also boasts acceptable off-road skills and a richly-appointed interior, generally one of the best in its class. Be among the first to lease the new Mazda CX-50 and stand out from the crowd.
Engine & Performance
A 2.5Liter four-cylinder gives life to every 2023 Mazda CX-50; however, the turbocharged variant of this engine is the one that packs a punch. The base naturally-aspirated variant is found on all trims below the turbo model, and it’s good for 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. The turbocharged four-cylinder churns out an impressive 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. Mazda has also disclosed that a hybrid powertrain will soon join the CX-50’s lineup. The CX-50 is sporty and undeniably agile, thanks to the athletic chassis standard among Mazda’s cars. Models with the turbocharged four-cylinder accelerate from 0-60mph in 6.6seconds.
Fuel Economy
According to EPA, CX-50 models with the base four-cylinder return a 24-mpg city and 30 mpg highway rating, making them the most fuel efficient. Surprisingly, opting for the punchier turbo-4 will only reduce this rating by 1 mpg in the city and on the highway.
Interior
Inside, the CX-50 is accorded an attractive interior with a minimalist, upscale design. Lower trims may not have that premium vibe, but upper trims are downright upscale. Cloth seats are standard; however, mid-range trims are equipped with artificial leather seats, while genuine leather upholstery is standard on the Turbo Premium and Turbo Premium Plus trims. Paddle shifters, a panoramic moonroof, a larger 10.25-inch infotainment display, and a 12-speaker Bose surround sound system are all available.
Safety & Driver Assistance
Mazda has rolled out cutting-edge standard and optional safety and driver assistance features in a bid to make the CX-50 one of the safest new compact SUVs for 2023. Here are highlights of the CX-50’s safety and driver assistance offerings;
- Automated emergency braking
- 360º view monitor
- Front side-impact airbags and side-impact air curtains with rollover protection
- Driver’s and front passenger’s knee airbag
- Dynamic stability control with traction control system
- Hill launch assist
- Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert
- Mazda radar cruise control with stop & go
