As a Subaru fan, yes this is better than the Forester. More power, better interior, better material and most of all, no CVT. Looks like Mazda listens to its customer base instead of going "eco green " craziness. Might check out that CX-90 with the inline-6 in the future. Nice review Raiti s Rides!

I just brought my new CX-50 home yesterday (same Zircon Sand w/Terracotta Leather) and it is wonderful here in the mountains of Colorado. The gas milage with the turbo is of course not near as good as with my CX-5 and the naturally aspirated engine but having that power for passing on the two-lane 65 MPH mountain roads is worth it. Only design flaws are that the door well storage is much smaller than the CX-5 (you can't fit in a quart bottle) and the rear view is more of a narrow tunnel due to the lower profile. Love the head-up display, the INCREDIBLE Bose sound system and both the wireless charging and wireless Android Auto linkage. The interior is as nice as a BMW but the price fully loaded (with a superior engine!) is less than a base price BMW. Really love it!

@@eidrag - Trouble with most reviews is that they attempt to arrive at some sort of consensus opinion. Each of us has a unique situation as to what features and components are best for us. Is having extra power to pass quickly more important or is fuel efficiency a greater priority. Is a small vehicle which gets great gas mileage more important or is having larger cargo capacity the priority. The 2.5L naturally aspirated 4 cylinder Mazda engine is a wonderful engine that can easily outlast the period most owners keep their car. The Turbo charged version, in my humble opinion and for the conditions I drive in, is a wonderful boost for either the CX-50 or CX-5. Around town I don't think the Turbo is needed. Everything depends on the individual and their driving needs/style.

I got one three weeks ago, optioned identically to the one in the video. Couldn’t be happier. Now, I will contradict my previous statement and explain my three minor complaints: the rear headrests usually prevent the 60/40 split from folding down all the way, so the front seats need to scoot forward, then drop the 60/40, then scoot the front seats back as needed. Second minor complaint is that the piano black plastic around the shifter is a dust and fingerprint magnet. Third, is that although the 6spd transmission is reliable, it feels only a little clunky sometimes and another gear or two might have helped out MPG and acceleration. Other than that this car is simply a pleasure to drive daily. I have no regrets with it because I know it will be in my family for a long time.

Only one of them was a turbo, and the first customer in the door snapped it up. Dang!!! We test drove the premium non-turbo cx-50 which was still great. But we want the turbo, so we’ll wait for it. So, we’re driving around with the sales guy, who probably wondered why we were talking about “twinkie trays” and “smores storage”! And then when we took it out on the highway, we yelled, “ON THROTTLE”! It’s good to know more about the car than the sales person when you go on the test drive, LOL!

Hi Mr. Raiti, great reviews on this new CX-50, very informative, thank you. I am currently driving Mazda 6 sport (2017), 6 speed manual transmission (it's pretty awesome). *I do have one issue come to find out, I ended up having to change my battery every year since I own this car. I think maybe because I had an alarm system guy put in this great alarm gadget back in 2018 (I don't know but maybe it's the reason). I'm just happy that when I go to start the car, it's not starting because battery is dead and not anything else major like the "engine" or whatever. But your review have me thinking because I wanted something off road and was debating on a "Jeep" (love them too). This CX-50 is like so perfect, sporty, classy, cool, and simple! Mazda really are worth the money!❤👍

Mazda is killing it. I recently purchased a 2021 Mazda 3 hatchback and for the money it feels so premium compared to many in the same segment and I even like the interior way better than the BMW 335i’s that I was looking at.

Not crazy on the dash design and infotainment looks further back then the CX5, I do love the center console, that is a 💯 improvement, only takes a couple scrapes on a bubba straw to tell you that from the CX5 😅, love the panoramic sunroof and the extra trunk space also those seats, at least one manufacturer understands not everyone wants black or grey leather seats but I did see the seating options were not as extensive as the CX5 and looks like they are phasing out most of the piano black 🙌🏻

I just bought a brand new 22 CX-30 Turbo Premium plus . It is a blast to drive and the interior is near luxury car level . I was thinking about waiting for the cx 50, but cant get over the squared off wheel wells . A wheel is round and so should be the wheel well .

The only weakness of the Subaru is the lack of a 8 sp automatic transmission and turbocharged 2.4L option. Subaru must quickly adapt to changing demands or Subaru could face demise of the brand they way Saturn & Saab did. Mazda is playing smart as niche market brand.

Looks great! Love this video. I am seriously considering the CX-50 TPP and the Kia EV6 for purchase in the near future. Curious how RR would rate the CX-50 vs. the EV6 for drive and handling. Different animals, sure. But would welcome the feedback.

Hey Joe, good review of the CX50. I went to the grand opening premier for this same car last Tuesday. Impressed with the styling and interior especially with the pano sunroof. Mazda improved the seats making it more comfortable than the CX5 IMO. Salesman told me Mazda went without a independent rear suspension on this one? I haven’t driven it yet but was wondering if you noticed any handling drop off? I remember in the 90’s when Nissan did the same thing with the Maxima and the drop off in handling was noticeable. All that said, CX50 is priced right and you have to see it in person to appreciate how good it looks inside and out.

I owned a Maxima, new in 1991, with rear independent suspension. My brother bought a 1995 with the semi independent rear suspension, The 1995 actually rode quieter. I even had a 1984 Buick Century with a rear twist beam axle that rode better than my 91. That is why I am interested in this car.

Starting in July '23 for 2024.... the A/C and on-off switch gets switched around. The selection of trim levels go from 10 to 8.... and all built after November '23 get updated steering and dampers. There's also a price increase across all trim levels.

I'm a huge Mazda fan, My last two vehicles were a Mazda and I love them. I am very impressed with the CX50 and what it can do. If it were up to me between the Subaru and this one, I would choose the Mazda. One thing I wish Mazda will do is increase cargo space in their CX9 SUV, I wanted to get one, but I had to go to a Pacifica because the cargo space on the CX9 is just not there and I hope that they can bring that back because if they do, I will switch back
@waynemangan99252 жыл бұрын
I'm far from an CUV/SUV guy but Mazda knocked it out with the styling on this one again, like with the 2018 CX-5 and 7. Just gorgeous! Wish the Mazda six had a more athletic version to match it's unmatched styling, more on par with Camry TRD .

I have a White 2021 CX-5 without the turbo engine. Don’t get me wrong it’s something I would have loved to have added but the way my money is set up!! Lol I’ve had my car for a year. It’s my 1st Mazda but won’t be my last. It handles so well and it’s perfect for my daily life. I haven’t had a issue with the engine it picks up fine for highway on ramps. With gas being 4.19 cents I’m happy to not have to deal with the turbo engine at this point!
