2023 Mazda CX-50 Exterior

With a sense of vibrant power and superior utility, the CX-50 looks strong and agile. Mazda divides the release into 10 trim levels : S, S Select, S Preferred, S Preferred Plus, S Premium, S Premium Plus, Turbo, Turbo Meridian Edition, Turbo Premium, and Turbo Premium Plus. From the starting S trim level, the 2023 CX-50 comes with High Beam Control on LED headlights and daytime running lights, along with automatic variable wipers and dual exhaust outlets. It also gets black power side mirrors with turn indicators.
The S Select enhances the starting edition with Black Metallic finish versions of the 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels, while the S Preferred takes things further with heated side mirrors, a shark fin roof antenna, and a wiper de-icer. The S Premium Plus swaps in 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels with a machine-cut Black Metallic finish, its own style of LED front lights, LED signature taillights, adaptive front lighting, automatic power-folding side mirrors, and various interior and audio system upgrades.
There's much to cover the further you climb the trims. For instance, the Turbo Meridian Edition gets 18-inch special Black Metallic wheels and Meridian hood graphics, headlamp and side-rocker garnishes, and more. The Turbo Premium Plus tops off the exterior benefits with an auto-dimming driver's side mirror.
The CX-50 is slightly wider and longer than the CX-5, with high-strength roof rails to support your family adventure equipment, such as bicycles, kayaks, or even tents. Opt for the optional panoramic moonroof to allow your passengers to enjoy the atmosphere outside from the comfort of the car.
2023 Mazda CX-50 Interior and Technology

Seating up to five, the CX-50 was designed to be an opulent haven and a dependable city and suburban workhorse. Mazda provides an engaging position and cabin experience for the driver. The symmetrically balanced steering wheel and pedals, plus extensive seat customization depending on the trim, keep you comfortable and in control. The CX-50's instrument panel layout, which features intuitive controls in easy reach, allows you to focus on the road ahead. As for cargo volume, the CX-50 fits up to 31.4 cubic feet of gear or 56.3 cubic feet with the seating area folded down.
Many of the models come with Terracotta leather trim in cozy earth tones. As models become more opulent on higher trim levels, they also maintain a sense of durability and off-road readiness. The durable materials were modeled after high-level outdoor equipment. Some seat fabric options mimic the robust nylon used in climbing backpacks, with seat stitching that imitates hiking boot laces. Even the textures on the center consoles call to mind the grip of a telephoto lens.
As for entertainment and connectivity features, the Mazda CX-50 includes an 8.8-inch touch screen, a 7-inch instrument cluster display, Bluetooth, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, eight audio speakers, two front USB ports, and an auxiliary audio input jack as standard equipment. The 2.5 S Select trim now comes standard with a 10.25-inch display and rear USB charging ports. With the 2.5 S Premium Plus trim, a 12-speaker Bose audio system and satellite radio become standard. Check out the top-tier 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus if you'd like to add an available wireless charging pad.
2023 Mazda CX-50 Engine and Performance
Two engine options are offered with the 2023 Mazda CX-50. Lower trims have a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. Trim levels with "Turbo" in the name swap out the standard engine for a turbocharged powertrain that produces 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. Both models include a six-speed automatic transmission as standard equipment.

The base engine of the CX-50 is highly suited to daily driving. It moves smoothly and has the added revving power to stay ahead on the highway. Turbocharged models take everything a step further. Using different drive modes, Mazda intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) technology returns from the CX-5, optimizing traction and responsiveness. Mi-Drive appears on either powertrain, letting you switch in and out of Normal, Sport, and Off-Road modes.
2023 Mazda CX-50 Safety Features
The 2023 Mazda CX-50 boasts the latest safety advancements in the automobile industry. A 360-degree-view monitor uses the optional 10.25-inch Mazda Connect screen mounted on the dashboard. Mazda has integrated small cameras throughout the vehicle to give you a more comprehensive view of your surroundings.
All CX-50 trims include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a driver attention monitor, lane departure warning, and lane keeping assist.
