What Is the 2024 Mazda CX-50?

The Mazda CX-50 is a five-seat compact SUV with sleek styling and the spry driving manners of a high-riding sports sedan. The base powertrain is a 187-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder that’s coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. Optional is a zesty turbocharged version of the same four-cylinder that produces 227 or 256 hp, depending on whether it’s running on regular- or premium-grade gas. The CX-50’s competitors include the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, Hyundai Tucson, Subaru Forester and Toyota RAV4.

What’s New on the 2024 Mazda CX-50?

The CX-50 debuted as a 2023 model, and Mazda has left it largely unchanged for 2024. Wireless phone charging is standard on more trims, and the steering and suspension have been retuned.  

What Features in the 2024 Mazda CX-50 Are Most Important?

Standard features include: 

  • 8.8-inch infotainment display
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Two USB ports
  • Wi-Fi hot spot
  • Eight-speaker audio system
  • Keyless entry
  • Automatic climate control
  • Forward collision warning with pedestrian detection
  • Adaptive cruise control
  • Automatic high-beam headlights
  • Rear cross-traffic alert
  • Blind spot warning
  • Lane departure steering assist 

Available features include: 

  • 10.25-inch infotainment display
  • Wireless device charging
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Heated rear seats
  • Dual-zone climate control
  • Power liftgate
  • Panoramic moonroof
  • Surround-view parking camera system
  • All-terrain tires

Should I Buy the 2024 Mazda CX-50?

There’s no shortage of competition in the compact SUV market, but the CX-50 impresses with its fun-to-drive nature, standard all-wheel drive, long roster of safety features and a classy interior that wouldn’t look out of place if there were a luxury badge on the front grille. Granted, climbing to the CX-50’s highest trims means a near-luxury price comes along for the ride. Mazda pitches the CX-50 as an adventure-ready SUV with better-than-average off-road capabilities, but we like it better as an athletic on-road SUV. If you’re most interested in off-the-beaten-path excursions, rivals like the Ford Bronco Sport, Subaru Forester and off-road trims of the Toyota RAV4 are better choices.

Other than an error code that was fixed about a month

Other than an error code that was fixed about a month after purchase. The CX-50 has been a pleasure to drive. Very responsive and once you get used to the safety feature built into the cruise control that is fine as well. It will slow down automatically when approaching a slower moving vehicle. If you change to passing lane it will then speed up until set speed or you approach another vehicle. Gas mileage is 24 city and it seems like 28 to 30 highway. Not actually calculated that but miles oer tank increases. Love the car but for me back seats seem to sit too straight. Not sure if they can recline or not.
