The CX-50 is the first Mazda built in the US at the Mazda/Toyota plant in Huntsville, Alabama. In Canada, it will be available at Mazda dealerships in May and in the US, at the end of this month. A Hybrid CX-50 will be coming as well, but Mazda did not confirm if it will arrive by the end of the year.

I just purchased this car yesterday. Was looking at CX-5, but then drove this. The seat position discussion at 7:45 was what changed my mind to the CX-50. Love the way this thing drives and handles.

This has become my favorite Mazda. The CX-30 and CX-5 I drove during my recent car search. This model is right down the pike...stylish and capable. The size is perfect. I could do without the pano roof ...standard moon roof is just fine. I'm looking forward to seeing them on the road. Thanks for the review you guys are awesome.

Panoramic moonroof is part of the standard features of CX-50 in Canada.

All my 3 current vehicles have pono roof. I hardly use them, but two have leaks. One time we drove home from a trip and started to rain. The roof did not close and we got wet. But luckily, the bridge saved us from flooding the interior. I rather don't have it at all and save money on the option.

Nice review. I'm glad that you pointed out the difference between volumetric versus usable cargo volume between the CX-5 and CX-50. I currently lease a 2020 CX-5 FWD Touring down here in Florida. One of the reasons I'm considering a 2023 CX-50 next year is its longer and wider cargo area.

[@kellingtonlink956]

I think Mazda has nailed it. It looks brilliant. Both this Mazda and the Subaru definitely hit a sweet spot in the market. I think its an absolutely fantastic looking (inside and out) product. Either one would look great in my driveway. Thanks for another great review.

[@vee6411]

Lmao please don’t compare this to the Subaru. Subaru has gone downhill, they have a huge identity crisis. They are an “enthusiast” brand trying too hard to appeal to the masses. Their CVT pretty much robs the vehicle of any driving pleasure. What’s the point of having a great engine when your transmission bottlenecks the feel and performance of the entire vehicle?

[@paul33207]

Love your reviews! I have had two CX-5s and now have a CX-30; the seats are way better in the 30 & 50 than the CX-5. When I switched to the CX-30, I couldn't believe at 6'3, I fit better in the CX-30, although I do hit my head sometimes getting in and out haha, so I will be most likely switching to the CX-50 in a couple years. One of my reasonings of staying with Mazda is their AWD system works so well, living in a snowy area with some rough dirt roads their AWD has gotten me through some sketchy conditions with ease.

[@ludwigtheholyblade79]

Which year of CX5 are you comparing with the CX 50? Because from the year 2022, all front seats are fairly common between CX5 and CX50, with CX5 having an elevated thigh support and CX50 having a flat bottom.

[@paul33207]

@@ludwigtheholyblade79 I had a ‘13 & ‘20 CX-5, I’m comparing the ‘20, while very comfortable I could never adjust to get enough legroom but it never really bothered me. When I had to get another car (due to a deer) I was shocked at the difference of legroom I had being a smaller vehicle. It could be the difference in padding as you spoke of allowing me to stretch my legs lower. I did see one video from TFL Car on the CX-30 that explained the seats were designed emulate standing posture. When the CX-50 hit showroom floors I noticed the interiors were similar between the 30&50 and seat comfort of the 50 was closer to the 30 vs. the 5. Being 6’3”, broader shoulders and scoliosis I personally have a hard time with seating adjustments. Quick example I had to drive my friends ‘19 Grand Cherokee, even though I’m a huge fan of Jeeps, my back starting hurting only after 5miles of driving. Thankfully for Mazda I have zero pain even on longer road trips.

I test drove the new cx 50 last week and turned right around and brought it back to the dealer. I sat very low in the car even though the seat height was adjusted and the driver's window stopped very high. I felt as if I had been dropped in a box. I got the CX5 premium plus instead and picked it up a few days ago. I love it.

[@wikolib6821]

Thanks, we're looking at the CX-5 PP and this is a confirmation.

@Wikoli B I have had the cx5 for almost 5 months now. I smile every time I get in my car. I had ordered an audi q3 9 months before and when I found it was not coming for probably 6 more months I looked around. I am so happy with my decision to buy the cx5 and like it more than the audi! I think you will love it.

[@wikolib6821]

@@nancylide723 I'll add that if you like your car, and you got a decent deal, you're good, as long as they didn't rip you off. I never take extended warranties or other adds. Inversely, if you got a smokin' deal and don't like your car or got a lemon, it was a bad deal. I've learned to make sure as much as possible that the car you're buying is a good unit, and if it's a fair deal, you should be good.

The CX-50 is the best looking CUV of all in my opinion. Cudos to Mazda for knocking it out of the park again.

[@radiosonicfan1726]

Just picked up the 2024 CX-50 Premium. Very Pleased. It is solid and prefer the lower ride feeling. It has upgraded shocks and lighter steering compared to the 23' Model. Within 2 days, I found a coding bug. You can use the favorite button to add a radio station to favorites. Discovered you can add the same station multiple times. Ideally, should be limited to once. Also, instead of a delete a favorite screen action, it would be easier to hold down the favorite button to unfavorite a station, essentially a double click.

Bought a CX50 6 months ago but I got the pearl white but otndid not have turbo.. Love driving it and it handles very well

[@jbtubman]

I test-drove this vehicle yesterday and really wanted to like it. It addressed the few things that made me reject the CX-5, chiefly the amount of cargo space. But the seats were the deal-killer. I like a firm seat, but these were church-pew-hard. The ride was a bit rough and the cabin was not particularly quiet. A shame; I had hoped that it might be the one.

[@MisterMister5893]

When you get older, nature just dictates a few things for us despite how much we want to resist it. I'm driving a 2021 Outback and the seats are comfortable. I'm thinking of switching to this, bas model. I think it is cloth seats so it may be more comfortable. I'm almost 50... wow, time flies.

All new Mazda?! Andrea has to be loving it. My goodness this car checks all the boxes.

I own 2 2022 Mazdas. CX30 turbo and a 3 Sport (hatch). As I reside in Canada, we get the unlimited kilometres 3 year and 5 year powertrain warranties. Who else does this at this price point? If we needed the extra room the 50 would be very nice option. Since we don’t, we are extremely satisfied with our Mazdas. Well done again Motormouth.

[@jimbrock1441]

I've watched your channel enough over the years to value your well considered opinion. When I replace my 2013 Outback Limited I will shop the CX-50. Although I have learned to get the most out of the CVT, I still don't like it and Subaru's reliance on a screen for common controls is not as good as my 2013 with actual buttons.(I have tried a 2021 during a service stop) If a switch fails in my car I don't lose everything. Just my thoughts from an avid viewer.

I REALLY like this new CX 50. Mazda has shed the image they had with the Protege and went premium and powerful. I drove the CX5 and the Miata at a test drive event and enjoyed them very much. This fits the bill for comfortable daily driver with easy entry/exit which I've come to appreciate when wearing bulky winter clothing.

[@craigbarnett5077]

Excellent and helpful review. Many reviewers will focus on minutiae that does not matter (ex. the placement of the middle vent).

[@lgsprings5623]

I bought a new 2021 Mazda CX-5. I believe the CX-50 has the same engine. It burns engine oil from day one. I looked up and found a bulletin for my car to be repaired. I took it in and they agreed that my car fell under that bulletin according to the VIN but, that I had to wait for the engine light to come on. By my calculation that won't happen until one oil change after my warranty is up. Don't take a chance and buy Mazdas. They don't stand by their product unlike Honda for instance. At the time I was shopping for my car, they had fuel dilution problems with some of their engines. Similar to my problem but worse. They put out a bulletin and fix it. Mazda will do whatever it takes to avoid paying to fix the problem, even when they themselves admit that there's a problem.

[@wikolib6821]

The 2021 Mazda 2,5 turbos are reported to have oil consumption issues due to redesigned valve seals. I would either stick to the naturally aspirated 2.5 or research and question thoroughly the '22 and '23 oil consumption stats on the turbo version.

Great review. I've seen the CX-50 on the lot and I just saw one in the wild on the local Walgreens parking lot with a lot of dirt on it, so the owner obviously lives off the paved road. This is a beautiful car, very well designed and engineered. My wife is in a '22 Mazda 3 Premium which is a great sports sedan but I hit my head every time I get in it. Looking at the CX-5 and I'll have to demo it to see if would work for us.

[@NatanArk]

I test drove CX50 yesterday and it's not as good as everyone is saying on YT. It's really hard to steer and you have to fight with the gas and brake pedal, they're so hard to push. I've owned Mazda CX 5 and it was a dream to drive but this one seems different and harder to me. I understand that they're trying to make it more rugged and that's appreciated but inside also everything you touch is creaking because it's super cheap plastic (besides all the leather parts) and on the door, Bose speakers are so easy to push and move because they're wrapped in plastic. The screen is put too far away and when the sun hits it in the right way, you can't see anything on it. Everything else, including the small version of moonroof (Mazda's first attempt to do this), which also doesn't open all the way but only opens as just the normal sunroof ( same size which is a shame) and the motor that opens it seems rough. With all the gas prices these days, I don't know who this car is for. I was hoping to get it because I love Mazda but (CX5 and CX 30 drove better than this).

Forgot to add, just wish it didn't have 20" wheels. The ride would imo be better with 18 or 19"

Really love this model. Can anyone talk about the dealership / maintenance experience?

[@Beer20001]

Awesome vehicle by Mazda! Amazing review Andrea and Zack!

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thank you so much! 🙏

[@sandy18rock]

I think when people are talking about looks, they’re comparing it to CX-5 which probably has the best looks in the segment

[@lukaszha8826]

Such a beautiful car.

[@michaelsylvester7272]

Hi there, I have to say I do like the look of this. Great review.

[@NicoleWellman-u8b]

Does the CX-50 have remote start on the key fob?

[@phil6926]

As a current 2017 CX5 owner I really like the look of the CX50….except for the cheap plastic cladding. I realize that the 2022 CX5 has the option of monochromatic paint but I really like the look and stance of the CX50. I would have liked to see more interior room and cargo space to reflect the larger dimensions. I will probably wait for the larger CX60/90 with the potential I6 engine before I trade in my current CX5.

[@andreaspencer9813]

I look forward to driving the new CX-90, hopefully it will be out by the end of the year or early 2023. The CX-60 will not be offered in North America.

[@phil6926]

@@andreaspencer9813 After watching videos of the new CX60 that’s not coming to North America, I think Mazda is really missed the mark with the CX50. The CX60 is a much nicer vehicle, in every way. The interior is Volvo like and in spite of having dimensions similar to the CX50, it looks larger. Is the I6 gas engine coming in the new CX90?

[@shredman59]

Considering this in non-turbo (for teen driver)/Rav4/CRV, all non hybrid. Availability is a huge issue. Not sure which one is best of the three.

[@stapletonwill]

I read that Mazda's proprietary sound system is better than the bose, did you notice anything like that?

[@andreaspencer9813]

We just had the Bose sound system in this one, so to be honest didn't notice as we didn't have them back to back to compare.
