2025 MAZDA CX-50 HYBRID | The One I Would Get!

[@Neekogo]

You keep making comparisons to "the non-hybrid" but there are two non-hybrid options available: NA 2.5 and a Turbo 2.5. The non-hybrid you keep referring to sounds like the Turbo version. The numbers you are quoting (torque, hp, etc) are all for thr turbo. The hybrid has better numbers than the NA 2.5 but worse than the than Turbo

[@drakemoschkau]

Yes! I was referring to the turbo. I mention at the end that the hybrid makes more power than the base engine and it could be a better option all around than that version.

[@Neekogo]

@drakemoschkau yes but at the end is the only time you even suggest that there's a third powertrain option. Throughout the entire video you make it seem that there are only 2 options: hybrid and non-hybrid with non-hybrid = turbo. The way you word the pricing at the end is suggesting the hybrid is about $3k more than the turbo - it's not. It is $3k more than the base engine. Overall I enjoyed watching your driving impressions & only realized the differences because I have been heavily researching this as my next vehicle. I wish you well on your channel

[@rustyrollo9110]

Had me confused.

[@Lunixed]

Great review!

[@KyleTysver]

Just went and sat in one of these. At 6'3" I couldn't get my head off the ceiling with the sunroof. Was told only the lowest trim level could be had without it, and they didn't expect to see one of those for months yet. So the search continues.

[@docbob1182]

Darn that sucks. I am 61 and look at that issue closely and even when I sit in the back it’s not a problem. Maybe keep the moonroof curtain always open or have the seat modified (some people actually do)?!

[@designoblique]

I just bought a CX-50 Preferred trim level for this same reason. I am 6'4" and my head hit the roof in the Premium and Premium Plus trims.

[@Baiyoubai]

I'm in the market for buying a compact SUV and the CX5 and CX50 are on my list, but I'm really hesitant because of their stingy cargo space behind the second row, which for some reason you didn't show in your video. The other day I saw a CX5 parked next to a CRV, and the difference was quite significant.

[@ianmcalpine]

Nice video Drake!

[@christianh8636]

Does the Mazda still have the cable gate corrosion issues like the RAV4? Or is the cable inside the vehicle?

[@user-gr7jo9qb3l]

I bought this last month and love it. My only complaint so far is that the catalytic converter just hangs out there, everything else under the car is covered. Mazda does not make cat shields and new hybrid cats are prime theft targets. I had to find a muffler shop to install a custom cat shield bc miller cat does not make shields for this car, being too new

[@kopfschuss881]

Thanks for this one. This certainly crosses this one off my list. Not enough Zoom Zoom in this one compared to the regular cx-5 (even the older ones with less power). That's alright because Mazda has options.

[@andyusfca]

Mazda CX-50 and Sabaru Outback....which one should I choose

[@secordman]

I didn't buy the CX5 five years ago because it seemed cramped plus the cargo space was small for its class. The CX50 costs a lot more than the CX5 in Canada.

[@majed6956]

Why don't any of these reviewers mention that combined torque is actually much higher than advertised? Toyota/Mazda don't add in the electric motor torque. The combined number is around 250 lb-ft. I guess it's too much to ask that a reviewer have basic information.

[@ironbeagle1011]

Torque does not add the same way horsepower does with hybrid engines

[@10tenman10]

I have a Toyota Crown Signia; I like it but the engine is fairly anemic.

[@SG-js2qn]

Mazda doesn't have a luxury segment to protect, unlike Toyota / Lexus and Honda / Acura, so they're not holding back on the styling. The hybrid has wider cladding because they had to raise the body to accommodate the Toyota hybrid system. This caused them to also make the cladding wider over the wheels to keep it proportional. Toyota only provides the power stats for the ICE engine, not with the electric motor added. The electric assist makes the hybrid faster to 60 by about 2 seconds over the regular CX-50, and only about 1.5 seconds slower than the turbo model. For me, what's disappointing about the CX-50 is that they pulled back on amenities for the top tier, which caused features that should be lower tier to float upward.
