The 2025 Mazda CX-50 is comfortable, spacious and well appointed, with an interior that looks and feels a cut above anything else in this class. It's quick and fun to drive, too, though somewhat heavy steering and a firmer ride than some rivals are the price you pay for the engaging handling. The CX-50 commands a bit of a premium, too, but if you're looking for a small utility vehicle, it doesn't get much better than this.Read full review

Overview

by the Edmunds Experts

1/30/2025

This compact crossover adopts a more rugged look than the other compact Mazda crossover with which it shares 80% of its name. Longer, lower and wider than the CX-5, the CX-50 is clad in black lower-body plastic to give it a more off-road-ready look. But don't think "off-road-ready" means "spartan" since the CX-50 is more of a budget Land Rover. Mazda is trying to push its brand upmarket, and that means the CX-50's interior is handsomely designed and rendered in upscale materials.

Edmunds spotlight: The coming hybrid

As a small, independent automaker, Mazda has been slow to develop electrified models. New powertrains are expensive to develop, and Mazda has done a commendable job of wringing every last mpg from its existing internal combustion engines. The plug-in CX-90, new for 2024, is the brand's first hybrid, but that didn't last for long. A hybrid powertrain is available in the CX-50 for 2025. To save on development costs, Mazda uses a hybrid setup from Toyota, with power specs that mirror those of the RAV4 Hybrid. Generating 219 horsepower, the system neatly bisects the CX-50's 187-hp naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder and 256-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter.

Competitors to consider

Compact crossovers are one of the most hotly contested classes in the automotive market. As such, there are a lot of excellent choices. The Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, as well as the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage twins, are all enticing packages. The CX-50 has one of the tighter back seats in its class, as well as a snug cargo hold, and is pricier than most competitors. But it has a more premium feel, both in interior finish and in driving dynamics, which makes it seem worth a little extra. Read our Expert Rating below to see exactly where the Mazda CX-50 shines.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

by the Edmunds Experts

Great

8.1

out of 10

We drove the 2025 Mazda CX-50 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}

Performance

8.5/10

How does the CX-50 drive? Mazda has made a concerted effort over the years to inject a bit of driving joy into all of its products, and for the most part it works. Mazda's vehicles tend to be among the best-driving models in their classes, and the CX-50 is no different.

The upgraded turbocharged engine, which is what our test CX-50 had, is powerful and helps make the CX-50 one of the quickest vehicles in its class. You're never short on power, and the transmission is good at finding the right gear at the right time. Zero-to-60 mph acceleration in our testing took 7.2 seconds. That's slower than a turbo CX-5 we tested but still decently quick for a small SUV.

It handles well, too. It's no sports car, but body roll is mild and kept in check better than with most other small crossovers. You're not going to lose your lunch if your drive is particularly curvy. The quick, responsive steering helps the buttoned-down feeling, though we found it requires a bit more muscle than we'd expect for comfortable low-speed maneuvering. Driving through a winding neighborhood shouldn't be work.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the CX-50? The same suspension that gives the CX-50 its engaging handling gives it a firmer ride than some of the competition. That's not to say it's teeth-rattling; you just feel more of the road than you do in others. Bumps are still muted, and the comfortable seats help you settle in even more. The front seats offer decent padding and side bolstering, but we found the rear bench to be a bit flat. Heated and ventilated front seats and heated rear seats are available. Passengers won't have much to complain about in terms of road noise. While it's a bit loud at full throttle, it settles down nicely, with only a mild amount of wind and road noise on the highway.

The climate control system is simple in the best sort of way. It uses real buttons and knobs rather than locking everything to the touchscreen or unresponsive capacitive touch controls. It's all easy to see and reach, and rear passengers will really appreciate the air vents.

Interior

8.5/10

How’s the interior? There's plenty of space for passengers in both rows. Mazda nailed the driving position too. The seats are upright but still low enough that it's easy to get in and out. There's ample adjustment for both the seat and steering wheel, and outside of a hard-to-reach touchscreen, nothing is too much of a stretch.

We found it odd that the main screen interface only has active touch functions when you're using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Otherwise, using any of Mazda's native infotainment functions requires using the console-mounted dial. The system is easy to operate, however, and the dial is well placed, so you don't have to take your eyes off the road. The CX-50 is easy to see out of, and the available surround-view camera helps out even more.

Build & Price

Technology

8/10

How’s the tech? Mazda includes a decent array of standard in-car tech and driver aids with the CX-50. Apple CarPlay with wireless connectivity and Android Auto are included on all trims, and there are multiple USB-A ports for charging. A wireless charging pad is available, though we rarely got it to function with an iPhone. Mazda's built-in navigation system is clear and easy to use, and you can use voice commands to input addresses or change radio stations. The available Bose audio system is among the better ones you'll find in this class.

The CX-50 includes a decent array of standard driver aids, including blind-spot warning and adaptive cruise control. They work well and we didn't notice any false alerts during our testing. The adaptive cruise holds good gaps and will bring you down to a full stop in traffic.

Storage

8/10

How’s the storage? The CX-50's cargo area doesn't quite match what its longer-than-average proportions might suggest. With 31.4 cubic feet of space behind the second row and 56.3 cubic feet of space with the 60/40-split rear seats folded down, overall cargo space is near the bottom of the small crossover class. Cargo space in the rest of the cabin is much better thanks to a sizable and well-designed center console and spacious door pockets. If you need it, the CX-50 is capable of towing 2,000 pounds with its base engine and 3,500 pounds with the turbocharged engine. The latter is near top-of-the-class.

Got kids? The rear seat has Isofix anchors mounted under covers, so they're easy to find and access. There's decent space to maneuver, and even larger seats shouldn't have any issues fitting.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

7.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The base-engine CX-50 gets an EPA-estimated 27 mpg combined. With the upgraded turbo engine, that estimate drops to 25 mpg combined. Neither figure is particularly great for a small SUV. At least our turbocharged test vehicle met its combined rating in our hands, achieving 25.7 mpg on our 115-mile evaluation route. Unlike some rivals, you can select the top CX-50 trim separate from the top engine, so you can get features without the turbo engine if you like.

Value

7.5/10

Is the CX-50 a good value? There's no getting around the fact that the CX-50 is one of the most expensive vehicles in its class. The flip side is that Mazda includes all-wheel drive as standard and a pleasing collection of features. Like many Mazdas of late, the interior is a step up from what you'll find elsewhere too. Fit and finish is excellent, and the overall design and choice of materials make it feel worth the premium you'll pay. There's soft padding on the dash, and all of the buttons and knobs have a nice feel to them. Details like that matter.

Mazda's standard three-year/36,000-mile basic and five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty are average, as is roadside assistance for three years/36,000 miles.

Wildcard

8.5/10

The CX-50 doesn't look dramatically different from Mazda's current lineup, but that's not a bad thing in our eyes. The design is handsome, and the wide fenders make it look squat and a bit rugged. The interior is handsome, too, and the whole thing comes together in a way that makes the CX-50 feel a bit more charming than most modern people-movers.

It's less boring too. It's not going to tear up racetracks, but the CX-50 won't erode your soul in the same way some spiritless crossovers tend to.

Which CX-50 does Edmunds recommend?

Mazda offers the CX-50 in a bewildering array of 10 trim levels, four with a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder, three with a four-cylinder hybrid, and three with a turbocharged engine. The new hybrid certainly wins in terms of fuel economy. Still, the turbocharged motor is a peach, and each Turbo trim includes slightly more standard equipment than the equivalent non-turbocharged model. We recommend the Turbo Meridian trim, which includes leather upholstery, heated front seats and a panoramic sunroof. These complement the CX-50's high-class style while leaving some money in the bank.

2025 Mazda CX-50 2.5 S Premium 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

Mazda isn’t a luxury brand. Its four-cylinder engines aren’t racers. A vehicle like this—in this price range with the above-mentioned caveats—isn’t going to introduce a new paradigm in any single automotive category. The CX-50 takes everything that every other manufacturer has already done with smaller-sized crossover SUVs for two decades now, distills them down to their desired … functions, separates the chaff, then weaves it all back together with only the positive aspects remaining—and it manages to sell it for under $40k. I love my CX-50. I won’t pretend to be an objective auto-guru giving you my professional, dispassionate opinion. I had my last vehicle for 14 years and have been saving and searching for a replacement for the last five. I had a big list of five-seater SUVs I spent months researching and paring down. The CX-50 was at the top. There’s many reasons for that: The cost — I bought a brand new Premium model. $35k. You can get a lower trim for less, or a Turbo for more if you want the extra power. I struggled with the Turbo desire. Even though I don’t have one, I’m not upset after the time I’ve spent with mine. The safety — Check the NTSB reports and videos yourself. It’s phenomenal. The comfort — Premium trims and below come with 17” wheels instead of larger. These wheels combined with the higher suspension make for a stable ride without removing the feel of being connected to the road. Some want none of that feel, and that’s fair. I’m not like that. I need to feel what and how I’m riding. This vehicle allows that without making it uncomfortable. The interior seats and positions make it easy to enjoy the ride. The driver and passenger seats are bucket-style, my favorite. Being a small-not-mini cSUV, the seats may seem narrower than some might like—curved on each side, the actual space to "sink" into is more limited than it first appears. If you’re a bulkier person, you may want more room. But I’m skinny (and tall, yet I’ve never felt vertically cramped), and the seats provide me ample room and cradle my frame very naturally. Despite the Premium trim not sporting the premium leather that I've been used to for years now—they're a combo of synthetic leather and fabric weaved vertically down the center—I haven't felt a moment of discomfort, even on long drives. Most (maybe all?) trims feature power lumbar support, too, and that significantly increases the number of viable seat-and-back positions for your chair. I'm excited to try the seat warmers this winter, too, which will be a first for me. I will level some criticism at the placement of the front seat cup holders, though. You do get the option of holders placed in both the front driver and passenger doors, but your primary cup holders are located right under the dashboard instrument panel—directly in front of the shifter, tucked into a nook-like space. My initial fear was that it would be possible to easily nudge the shifter when you very much don't want to, which turned out to be overblown. But if you step out of your car and reach back in to take your cup of coffee with you, prepare to lean over the console awkwardly and then cautiously weave your arm (and coffee!) backwards to avoid snagging the steering wheel. It's a minor complaint, but one I deal with typically at least twice a day. The power — It’s a four-cylinder engine. This is why I say “know what you want” in the title. You’re not gonna win drag races (unless maybe you splurge for the Turbo), so if that’s your thing then look elsewhere. But it DOES have the giddy-up I need to feel safe overtaking and entering busy intersections and freeways. Unlike many fours, Mazda’s Skyactiv engine is naturally aspirated, drawing more power from ambient airflow, and combines it with a very active cylinder shutoff strategy that compensates for the more aggressive use of fuel, maintaining a balance of power with satisfactory fuel economy (but in 2025, the combined 28mpg average is admittedly leaning more to the lower end of acceptable). The tach kicks up higher than I expected, but nowhere near the redline. The actual output surprised me; it reaches 0-60 in 8 seconds, better than the spec sheet claims. I honestly expected weaker. Bonus! I also want to give special attention to Mazda's decision to include multiple drive modes that can be toggled on-the-fly with the MiDrive switch: Normal keeps the above-mentioned balance of responsiveness and fuel economy, Off-road appropriately summons the U in the SUV moniker and allows this vehicle a very satisfying drive experience on backroads and in inclement weather, and Sport mode (which I guess invokes the S?) keeps the engine running at a higher RPM to allow for more active shifting and decreases the latency between the clutch and the shift input. Plus, you have the option of manually controlling the gears with a simple lean of the shifter to the left; suddenly you're driving a standard without the clutch! (Or more accurately, you're getting about 65% of the manual transmission experience since you don't have to downshift.) The manual control significantly increases the control I have over the vehicle—but only when I want it. The tech — Lots of driver-assist features, but a lot of them feel like more basic versions of advanced systems other higher-tier vehicles offer. They’re still useful, though I don’t really feel that I “need” them. However, the Infotainment interface is wonderful! The screen IS touch-capable, but I hate touchscreens in cars, and Mazda offers Commander control knobs within arms’ reach of the center console. Adapting to them only took a couple hours, and I have touched the screen one time since first setup. I LOVE the Commander knobs and dials so much, and I know others don’t like them despite not giving them a chance. Give them a chance! They’re game-changers! The only tech I would advise on is the radar cruise control: It’s nice to have it and works well as long as you keep an active eye on it during drives with traffic that tends to exit in both directions frequently, and on stretches of hilly terrain. The CC attempts to maintain your set speed VERY aggressively and will suddenly drop you into the lowest gear that approaches the redline too closely for my taste. The reliability — It’s a Mazda. It’s reliable. They make cars knowing many of their drivers are “spirited” in their journeys. They’re even giving Toyota a run for their reliability rating money. And with the recent rocket in sales of Mazda’s CX-series of vehicles, there will be parts and knowledge a’plenty out in the wild. The 50 is, admittedly, a newer model for Mazda, the first model releasing just three years ago, so really only time will tell how durable it is. But it's reassuring to know that the broader engineering platform of this vehicle exists in many other forms across other Mazda models with a longer tenure on the road. Are there better vehicles? Yes, obviously—in every category. But for this price point? I would argue no. I was never gonna find anything else that met (and then surprisingly surpassed) my expectations for under $40k. And I expected quite a bit. I’m getting everything I bargained for, and after four vehicles through my life, this is finally the first one I’ve actually been consistently excited to drive day in and day out.
