1. Exciting Driving Dynamics

The 2024 Mazda CX-50 is built to perform, with nimble handling provided by Mazda’s G-Vectoring Control, which adds stability around curves. Standard i-Activ All-Wheel Drive senses road conditions and responds by directing power to the wheels with the most grip, giving you more control in any type of weather. The CX-50’s standard engine is a 187-horsepower Skyactiv-G 2.5-liter engine, and a 256-horsepower turbocharged engine is also available. Mi-Drive gives drivers the choice to customize driving dynamics with Sport and Off-Road modes.

2. Driver Assistance Features

With the CX-50’s Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop and Go, driving on crowded highways is a little easier. This standard driver assistance feature uses radar to detect the vehicle ahead of yours and automatically adjusts your CX-50’s speed to maintain a safe following distance. This system can even bring the vehicle to a complete stop, then restart again when traffic starts moving, without any driver input.

3. Well-Appointed Interior

The high-quality materials inside the CX-50’s cabin separate it from other vehicles in its class. Its spacious interior seats 5 passengers, with standard half-leatherette or available leather seat trim. The driver and passengers can choose separate temperature zones with dual-zone automatic climate control, and a pollen filter keeps the cabin air free from allergens.

Behind the second-row seats, 31.4 cu. ft. of space can hold plenty of luggage or groceries. You can also use the convenient remote fold-down handle to fold the 40/60 split rear seat, creating up to 56.3 cu. ft. of cargo space.

4. Advanced Infotainment System

The CX-50’s large 10.25-inch full-color display lets you easily interface with your Mazda Connect Infotainment System using voice command or the Multi-Function Commander. This system includes HD Radio, Pandora, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can listen to nearly anything on your 8-speaker audio system. While you’re listening to music or following directions from your smartphone, you can easily keep your devices charged with 4 USB ports and an available wireless phone charger.

5. Convenience Features

After you’ve driven the CX-50, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without its many standard convenience features, like automatic rain-sensing windshield wipers. Its High Beam Control turns your high beams on and off automatically when another vehicle is detected ahead of you. The CX-50 even has standard Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry, so you can unlock your doors and start the engine while your key is still in your pocket.
