Should You Buy A 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid? Thorough Review By A Mechanic

How was the Audi? Gave you problems ? I do drive a cx-30 2024 NA, very trouble free as of right now, I had a Elantra and I remeber the stress I had about cars issues...

[@shepherd9246]

Audi was fun to drive but it needed too much attention on maintenance such as water pump, awd oil change, transmission oil change interval was like only 40k which is crazy. and many leaks..... I have no issues with my current setup. Yeah CX-30 is great too

[@Questron7]

As a long time user of the infotainment system; the rotary dial operation becomes the better experience over the touchscreen. After a while it becomes so intuitive that you can use the audio system without taking your eyes off the road. Optimal usage of 'haptic memory'

[@PhillyFan20]

Agreed. I have two Mazda vehicles in my garage (CX-9 and Mazda 3), and I like the infotainment setup. Mazda has everything laid out perfectly. I don't mind not having a touch screen.

[@GruulFleury]

Exactly, I find it hard to believe that anyone who actually uses this system would complain about it.

[@fordrac1ng81]

Once you get used to the mazda system it's far superior than most

[@clutch7366]

The infotainment is my favorite out of all the cars I’ve ever owned.

[@kappatalism4760]

I second this, Mazda 3 owner here. An infotainment should be judged on its ease of use while you’re in motion. The rotary dial rules.

[@chuckwalla2967]

The best of both worlds. Reliable, efficient Toyota powertrain with driving dynamics and feel of a Mazda.

[@FeLiX13sLaVe]

Unfortunately you lose a bit of the Mazda handling in this package. There's no G-Vectoring Control and they had to raise the body to accommodate the electric motors. It really is a compromised vehicle. I'm sure many will still love it however.

[@jetplume]

The Toyota will have at least reasonable visibility.

[@vjmtz]

@@jetplume Definitely... my other complaint about Mazdas... hard to see out of them in the back, and its a cramp interior considering the size of the vehicle. Otherwise a nice car if you don't need it for utility or doing much more than transporting yourself and maybe a couple of people short term.

[@nozerp]

Yeah Mazdas are nice if you don't need to use them for utility or if you are a DINK (Dual Income No Kids). Once they make one with adequate interior space (including cargo area) then I'll consider one. You literally have to go up a class size ($$$$) for it to be comparable with other manufacturers at a lower level.

[@James-il3tq]

Two main downfalls are much less comfortable with seats in the CX50 (very firm, instant deal breaker for my girl friend and myself) also quite a bit less cargo space.

[@Discoveryy]

This is by far the most informative and technical review of the CX-50 hybrid on KZbin. Well done.

Been waiting for this video for weeks. Perfect Christmas Eve present!

[@giorginho7mobile]

Same here! Ever since the first review on YT of this cx50 hybrid caught my eye about 1 month ago, I was basically waiting for precisely this review, because on paper I believe this car ticks most of my boxes for what I'm looking for! 2 things though: I've learned from a different car care nut video, that sunroofs that open are actively leaking too. Since I definitely won't be getting the base trim, I am not sure how I can avoid getting the opening roof as a package deal. The other thing is availability of this car in Europe. But I am hopeful that they will, eventually, import it. And the last thing is that added width, it looks super cool on the sides, but it adds too much extra width, which will likely cause issues where I live. 😢

[@eleanormassaro5195]

@@giorginho7mobile i’ve had my CX 50 nonturbo for two years now. Everything has been solid. The only issue I’m having that I’ve tried to address with Mazda and they haven’t been able to fix it yet Is when I open the sunroof it makes a noise when I go over bumps in the road. But there’s no leakage when the sunroof is closed or opened. It’s perfectly sound and no creaks and rattles, so I’m hoping to address the creaking noise when it’s open as soon as I can

I just bought a brand new 25 cx50 select NA. Its absolutely awsome, im in upstate ny and the snow is thick. This thing just rips right through it. Just got 6 inches of snow last night, the wife pulled right out of our uphill exit driveway. Barley spun a tire.

[@bh5560-f5k]

The reason this was able to be implemented the way that it was is because of the partnership between Mazda and Toyota. They have a joint venture company in Huntsville, Alabama (Mazda Toyota Manufacturing) where this model and the Toyota Corolla Cross are made. I work on the Toyota line. They've been working together on this hybrid CX-50 for a few years now trying to make sure they got everything implemented right. Another little thing about this partnership, The 2025 Corolla Cross has a new color option this year: Soul Red, a Mazda color. And it looks great in person! Love your channel! You are the reason I decided earlier this year to purchase a 2024 4Runner TRD ORP. Absolutely love everything about it. Happy Holidays!

I wouldn’t say I am automative guru, but I am an enthusiastic owner. I extensively drove Opel, Renault, Toyota, VW in Europe and drove Hyundai, Toyota, VW, Mazda and Tesla in US. Hands down, the best-built car I have ever had was the Mazda. The way the doors felt, the way the car was built from the gaps to door seals, buttons, touch points etc. It was exceptional. 2014 Japan built Mazda was better than the 2021 German-built VW I had. These CX-50s are built in US, but good to see they still have exceptional quality.

[@bradnail99]

I drive a 2022 CX-5 turbo. Two things AMD didn’t like were the rear wheel speed sensors and the ECVT droning and squishy response. My biggest issue with the CX-50 is the lack of headroom. I’m 6’-0” and like to drive sitting upright. I can’t do it in a CX-50, but my CX-5 has headroom to spare. I drove a friend’s new RAV4 before buying my Mazda. The cockpit was noisy, cramped, visually too busy, and overall it felt cheap. For someone shorter or more laid back when driving, this hybrid seems like an amazing improvement over the RAV4 for all the reasons he mentioned.

[@sorcererstone3303]

One mor thing. Toyota is a major share holder of Mazda. Technology transfer between these 2 OEMs is more easier & natural. Also, one of the reasons why there are so many Mazda parts in this hybrid vehicle is that it still costs a lot of money to transfer to Toyota (per car sales). The more original Mazda parts in this vehicle, the better the bottom line to Mazda. But this car is super amazing. Only this channel can convey so much valuable info to the audiences. Great job.

[@eleanormassaro5195]

And this also helps to understand why it took so long for the hybrid Mazda CX50 to come out. I remember people were getting frustrated that it was taking so long and now it makes sense, so much thought went into making this vehicle.

We went with the 2024 cx50 premium. No turbo but coming from a 14 corolla it has so much more umph. So glad we went with Mazda. With all the competition in the segment it is just so much nicer and quieter. On road trips in the Corolla it felt like my wife and I were yelling at each other to talk but the cx50 has been great.

[@bkrishman]

@Thwompcrew What was your reasoning behind not going with the turbo? I'm looking at the CX-30 , CX -50 , and CX-5. I've driven all both NA and Turbo. Like them all. Just curiosity.

[@Thwompcrew]

@bkrishman as a commuter I just don’t need the power, I’m used to a Corolla as a daily driver so even the non turbo is much more power than what I’m coming from. Plus it’s one less part that could break. I’ve heard turbo cars in general require more frequent maintenance as well.

Mr. CCN. i have a 2024 cx5 non turbo no CD OR ISTOP. I love this car is so many ways. But i just have to comment on how well this vehicle is assembled. I could go on about inside and out. But just this comment on attention to detail is sooo impressive...u look under the hood... every connection be it electrical or mechanical, have color coded stripes, dots or some matching color coding that is like shadow boxing a tool box with your tools. One glance and you can see every hose, every part is connected to what it should be. Red, green, orange. Matches a clamp and a hose and how far that clamp should be on that hose. It is fascinating to me and I am so impressed at this type of QA system and engineering. I have owned 4runners and still have a '15 tacoma. But no way do those compare to the attention to detail that my Mazda CX5 select model displays. I love it and i think this CX50 hybrid is going to quickly be the standard to which others will be judged. Love your show and you commitment to the industry.

I ordered one of these last week. I wanted something reliable, good fuel economy, and a nice cabin.

Not quick, and that eCVT drone was a thing, but overall pretty good - a reasonable trade-off for something that's going to be cheap to operate for years.

I've been a Mazda fan since the 2016 Ford divorce. Best thing that happened to Mazda We own 3 Mazdas, and we couldn't be happier.

Well I had just convinced myself I should wait for a plug-in version...but maybe I should just get it now 😮

I’ve seen so many videos of him but I have never see him smiling so much and like a climax state every other word .

If AMD says it’s good, then it’s worth buying. 👍

I have the turbo version of the cx50. Amazing car.

[@watercannonscollaboration2281]

As someone who bought a 2024 RAV4 Prime recently, if they put that powertrain in the CX-50 chassis I would pick that over the RAV4 Prime/PHEV in a heartbeat

I love the Mazda infotainment rotary dial. It is the best interface I’ve used. I don’t even try to use the touchscreen because the rotary dial is excellent. It also prevents me from putting finger smudges on the screen. I don’t know why you are hating on the greatest knob of all time!

Mr. Care Nut is a great man, I love the guy, but he is 5 foot 7 inches tall.. One BIG problem if you are over 5 foot 7 is the low roofline on the CX-50.. As good as Mazda made this CX-50.. I only wish they would have raised the roofline about 3 inches. That would have made this CX-50 much MUCH better for anyone taller than 5 foot 7.. Look at Mr. CarNut at 29:00 ... you can see he barely has enough headroom at his 5 foot 7 height.. Anyone over 5 foor 7 and you run into serious problems with interior room, lack of comfort, and you have serious outward visibility in all directions.. And bad outward visibility makes this vehicle UNSAFE to drive.. That is unfortunate.. I am about 6 foor 2 and really like the rest of the CX-50.. I think Mazda made a big mistake because they made the roofline way too low..

Awesome review!!! This is my go to mechanic channel to go to!!! Thank you so much to you and Jose for these awesome clips and exclusive info!!!

No brainer purchase vs the RAV4 hybrid. And since they’re not as high in demand, can get a decent chunk off MSRP & good incentives too. If I weren’t a family man in a Sienna & you bring me back to college/young professional days, this is the car I’d buy in a heartbeat.

I've been a fan of Mazda's design for quite a while now, and I love that they still have good options available for those who want a naturally aspirated engine and a transmission with actual gears. But the direct injection has been my only concern. This looks like everything I'd want in a nice little crossover. I've never gone with a hybrid, but this is one I'd have no problems considering! Toyota powertrain and Mazda design truly make for the best of both worlds!

[@DearSX]

Fun fact, Toyota owns a part of Mazda (and Subaru).

[@coypauldino705]

Correct, 6.1% to be exact for Mazda and 20.42% for Subaru. That's probably why they share a lot of the same technologies with each other. It also boosts reliability overall for all manufacturers.

[@tails300]

Subaru’s upcoming HEVs will be using Toyota eCVTs as well (with Subaru engines and AWD systems).

[@cesaremonti3]

Great review. I love Mazda's philosophy

[@ravikrishan6407]

Here is why Rav4 will still sell more than this version of CX50 1. Toyota Brand value is more. 2. SPACE - Biggest issue, Rav4 comes with 37.6 Cubic Feet Vs CX50 comes with 31.4 Cubic Feet. (CRV is in different league) Even if Mazda is trying to target premium audience (may be german car customers) but it is still being compared with a regular Commuter. (because it is a commuter car) Regular customer wants more space and reliability. (two biggest needs of a family of 2 to 4 people) (PS: I am a Mazda owner)

[@andrewcherry3330]

If more space needed - CX60, CX90
