2024 Mazda CX-50 Power and Performance

The base powertrain for the 2024 Mazda CX-50 is a 187-horsepower engine, while the top-tier trim levels include a turbocharged engine that gets 256 hp. The upgraded engine includes three selectable drive modes, paddle shifters, and adaptive headlights. Both powertrains come with all-wheel drive and six-speed automatic transmission. With the base model, you’ll get up to an EPA-estimated 31 highway miles per gallon with the CX-50.

Most CX-50 trims have 8.3 inches of ground clearance, which expands to 8.5 in the offroad-focused Meridian trim. That model also comes with all-terrain tires and gives you the option to add front and rear splash guards, a roof platform, and crossbars. The CX-50 is also rated to tow up to 2,000 pounds with the standard engine and 3,500 pounds with the turbo engine.

Infotainment Tech

The CX-50 comes with a standard 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Additional tech features in every trim include an eight-speaker stereo with HD radio, four USB ports, Bluetooth connectivity, and a wireless hotspot. Options in higher trims include satellite radio, wireless charging, a 12-speaker stereo, and integrated navigation.

Comfort and Convenience

Standard amenities in the CX-50 include a push-button start, proximity keyless entry, and dual-zone automatic climate control. You can add a panoramic moonroof.

The CX-50 has plenty of space for up to five passengers. You can also access more than 31 cubic feet of cargo space, which expands to more than 56 cubic feet with the seats folded flat.

Safety and Driver Assistance

The CX-50 earned the highest Top Safety Pick+ designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. It’s equipped with an array of standard driver assistance tech like auto high beams, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, forward collision warning with auto emergency braking, lane departure warning with lane-keep assist, blind spot monitoring with rear-cross traffic alert, driver attention monitoring, and a rearview camera.

The upper trims of the CX-50 add even more active intelligent driver aids. You can take advantage of reverse auto emergency braking, traffic jam assistance, traffic sign recognition, a head-up display, a surround-view camera system, and front and rear parking sensors. The Mazda CX-50 works as both an elegant daily commuter and a capable trail rider, making it a unique vehicle in the competitive compact crossover class.
