Whether you're drawn to its bold design, premium features, or versatile performance, the 2025 Mazda CX-50 is a standout choice in the competitive SUV market, especially when compared to rivals like the Honda CR-V. Seacoast Mazda is proud to offer it among our lineup of exceptional Mazda vehicles.

Exterior Styling and Features

The 2025 Mazda CX-50 builds on the brand’s signature design language, offering an aggressive yet refined appearance that balances ruggedness with elegance. There aren’t a lot of bells and whistles on the exterior, which you might be used to on vehicles designed for rugged trails. Instead, it has a streamlined appearance that belies its sophistication. Its wide stance and bold grille are complemented by slim LED headlights, giving the vehicle a dynamic presence on the road. Black accents throughout the profile underscore the design elements and give it a stronger presence.

Standard features on the base trim level CX-50 include power-operated and heated side mirrors and 17-inch alloy wheels, while higher trims introduce 20-inch alloy wheels, all-terrain tires, roof rails, and adaptive LED lighting for enhanced visibility. The CX-50 also offers practical design elements like an available power liftgate and a panoramic moonroof, catering to both aesthetic and functional needs.

Interior Styling and Capacity

Inside, the 2025 CX-50 features a cabin designed for sophistication and comfort. Soft-touch materials, thoughtful accents, and great attention to detail are seen throughout the cabin. The design is streamlined and elegant. The dashboard incorporates clean lines and a minimalistic aesthetic, and each of the components are neatly compartmentalized. You’ll find the climate and other controls in a small panel just below the midline of the dash, while the infotainment display sits in its own nook at the top of the dash. Beautiful contrast stitching and chrome accents run through the dash and down the side panels and console.

The CX-50 seats five passengers comfortably, with ample legroom in both rows and generous headroom due to its high roofline. The ergonomically designed seating features stylish synthetic leather upholstery, though genuine leather is available on higher trim levels. Passengers have 41.7 inches of front legroom and 39.8 inches of rear legroom, while front headroom listed at 38.6 inches and rear headroom at 37.5 inches.

Cargo capacity remains competitive, offering over 31 cubic feet behind the rear seats and up to 56 cubic feet with the seats folded down, making it a versatile option for families and adventurers alike.

Power and Performance

The 2025 Mazda CX-50 offers two engine options to meet varying driving preferences. The standard engine is a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder that produces 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque, delivering a balanced mix of efficiency and performance. For those seeking more power, a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine is available, pushing out up to 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque when using premium fuel. Both engines are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and Mazda’s i-Activ all-wheel-drive system, which is standard across all trims. With the CX-50, you get powerful performance with confident handling.

The CX-50 also features driving modes such as Sport and Off-Road, enhancing its versatility for both urban and rugged terrains. You’ll have the tools you need to take on any terrain or conditions, allowing you to explore more and to do so safely. Fuel efficiency is competitive, with the base engine achieving an estimated 24 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. Upgrading to the turbo engine drops those numbers by only 1 mile per gallon, so you can enjoy the additional power without compromising economy.

If you need to haul anything, the CX-50 has a towing capacity of 2,000 pounds. However, with the turbocharged engine, that capacity increases to 3,500 pounds. You’ll be able to take along whatever you need for your weekend adventures.

Technology and Convenience Features

The 2025 Mazda CX-50 is packed with advanced technology and convenience features to enhance every drive. The infotainment system is controlled through a large 10.3-inch display nestled right at eye level on the dash. The system integrates seamlessly with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it easy to stream your favorite music, make hands-free calls and texts, and access apps. The built-in navigation system can be controlled with voice commands. The base model comes with an eight-speaker audio system that delivers superb sound. However, a 12-speaker Bose premium audio system is also available on higher trim levels, delivering immersive sound quality. Multiple USB ports are available, but wireless phone charging is also available on all but the base trim level.

Additional conveniences include dual-zone climate control and heated front seats, both ensuring enhanced comfort. Higher trim levels also offer ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, and power-adjustable front seats with memory settings for added comfort, among other features. You can also add on features through optional packages.

Safety Features

Mazda prioritizes safety with the 2025 CX-50. Not only is the design of the SUV created with safety and protection in mind, but many driver aids are added to help reduce the chance of a collision. Every model comes equipped with i-Activsense, which is a suite of advanced safety technologies. Standard features include adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, lane departure warning with lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic emergency braking with nighttime pedestrian detection.

The 2025 CX-50 also includes driver-attention monitoring, helping to reduce risks when drivers are drowsy or distracted. It sends warnings to alert the driver and works with some of the other safety features to mitigate collisions, as well.

Higher trims enhance safety with additional features such as a 360-degree view exterior monitor, front and rear parking sensors, and Traffic Jam Assist, which provides semi-autonomous driving in congested traffic conditions. Traffic Jam Assist helps automatically maintain distance and stay in the lane. Other available features on higher trim levels include automatic high beam headlamps and reverse automatic braking. These features contribute to the CX-50's high safety ratings, ensuring peace of mind for drivers and passengers alike. Maintaining the CX-50 on the recommended schedule will ensure that these features are working optimally and help to keep you safe on the road.

The 2025 Mazda CX-50 is available in seven trim levels, each offering a distinct combination of features to suit diverse preferences. In addition to these extensive options, you also have the ability to further customize your CX-50 with optional packages and individual add-ons, as well as exterior paint colors.
