Which CX-50 trim does Edmunds recommend?
One of our favorite things about the Mazda CX-50 is its turbocharged engine. That's why we recommend the Turbo trim, which is the most affordable path to enjoying that powertrain. In addition, the CX-50 2.5 Turbo provides plenty of features for the price. If you'd prefer to stick with the standard engine, give the Preferred trim consideration.
