The standout feature for the 2025 Mazda CX-50 is undoubtedly its new hybrid engine option. Amid growing consumer demands for sustainability and efficiency, Mazda's introduction of a hybrid powertrain aligns effortlessly with modern driving expectations. The hybrid engine promises to deliver improved fuel efficiency, offering a significant upgrade over the traditional gas-only models.

According to EPA estimates, the 2025 Mazda CX-50 shows improvement over previous model years, enhancing both your city and highway driving experiences.

The new hybrid variant not only offers lower emissions with 38 mpg combined, but it also transitions seamlessly between gasoline and electric power. This development places the CX-50 squarely among the most eco-friendly options in its class.

Exterior Design Updates

The 2025 CX-50 has also received several aesthetic upgrades. Although maintaining its bold and athletic stance, the new model incorporates subtle refinements that modernize its look.

Adding to this modern arsenal, Mazda included a revamped head-up display and wireless charging pads, ensuring that convenience meets sophistication.
