Mazda also doesn’t offer a hybrid version (though few competitors can match its muscular turbo engine upgrade). Downsides? The knob-and-display infotainment system won’t be for everyone, even if Apple CarPlay and Android Auto can be operated by touch, and tech offerings in general aren’t as robust as those of some rivals. It’s also similarly luxurious, boasting elevated materials quality and a tasteful minimalist design aesthetic with a few extra angles here and there to correspond with the CX-50’s slightly more rugged vibe. At the same time, the CX-50 is every bit the engaging, driver-focused vehicle to drive as the CX-5 and every other Mazda.
Basically, it’s better for taking long road trips to outdoorsy vacation spots. The extra ground clearance also speaks to the CX-50’s more rugged capabilities, which in concert with a unique-for-Mazda Off-Road drive mode, make it more capable of tackling unpaved roads. Instead, those larger dimensions result in the CX-50 feeling more substantial and refined, and a bit more like a midsize SUV (the Chevy Blazer is broadly comparable).
Those don’t really translate to a larger interior – you’ll find back-seat legroom and cargo space virtually the same. At least on the outside, where the CX-50 measures a considerable 6.7 inches longer and 3.1 inches wider than its sibling, and is an inch higher off the ground. So what do you get along with that zero in the name? Well, although both technically belong to the compact SUV segment, the CX-5 is on the small end, while the CX-50 is one of the bigger offerings. And they’re both compact SUVs that offer the same engines and are only about $1,000 apart. Pros: Engaging and refined driving experience luxurious interior strong turbo engine good looks Cons: No hybrid available infotainment system won't be for everyone So there’s now a 2023 Mazda CX-50.
