The CX-9's lineup of driver-assistance features help make the road a safer place for drivers and passengers.

Mazda introduced the CX-50 for the 2023 model year, and fans of the brand noticed that it has a lot of similarities with the CX-5 small SUV. Though the two are like siblings, they have their own distinct personalities and offerings, which drivers will be delighted to learn when they get to know them both. Here are just five of the differences between the Mazda CX-5 and CX-50 that you’ll learn: Styling The Mazda CX-50 is larger than the CX-5, and it has more rugged styling. The CX-50 is longer, lower, and wider than the CX-5. The bigger SUV also has chunkier styling elements, like larger fender flares in a contrasting color, black trim around the grille, and faux rear vents to make the tail end look wider. It also has metal skid pads. Interior Space The larger body on the CX-50 also translates to a larger interior. The CX-50 has 31.4 cubic feet of cargo space, compared with the CX-5’s 30.8 cubic feet. That’s a difference you’ll notice - and appreciate - when you are loading up on shopping runs or are packing for trips. Interior Features As Mazdas, both the CX-50 and the CX-5 offer plenty of advanced technology features that enhance the driving experience. The CX-5 offers features like a large, 10.4-inch infotainment system, an available wi-fi hotspot, standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the Mazda Connected Services app. The CX-50 offers some of those same features, but it has a smaller infotainment display. It also has standard Mi-Drive with off-road mode, as well as a power panoramic moonroof. Towing Capacity Owning an SUV gives you a great opportunity to blend comfort and practicality. You can enjoy a posh ride, and you can use the SUV for carrying large cargo. Looking at the differences between the Mazda CX-5 and CX-50, with the CX-50 you’ll be able to tow up to 3,500 pounds with the right equipment. In contrast, the CX-5 will let you tow up to 2,000 pounds. Efficiency The Mazda CX-50 and CX-5 have no difference in engine, both coming with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that puts out 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. With that engine, both get an estimated 24 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. However, both also have the option for a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that gets 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. When equipped with this engine, the CX-50 gets slightly better fuel efficiency. The CX-50 gets 23 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway, while the CX-5 gets 22 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. Those are miles that will add up over time. Shop the CX-50 and CX-5 at Seacoast Mazda Though there are some differences between the CX-50 and the CX-5, drivers won’t go wrong with either SUV.

The CX-90 is an exciting new three-row SUV that is being introduced for the 2023 model year. The CX-90 will be supplanting the Mazda CX-9, and it will elevate the offering with luxury features, more stylish design, and a more sophisticated profile overall. With the CX-90, Mazda continues to signal its intentions to become a premium brand, offering much more than its budget competitors without the hefty luxury price tag. Here’s a closer look at what we can expect with the new Mazda CX-90: Power and Performance No hard details have been released about the 2023 Mazda CX-90, so what we know is conjecture based on patterns that industry insiders have identified. The CX-90 is expected to have a plug-in hybrid powertrain, which will get somewhere between 25 and 35 miles of electric-only range. The other engine option is also expected to be a new turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 engine, which would also be backed by a hybrid engine. The engines are expected to be paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and rear-wheel drive will be standard. All reports indicate that the new CX-90 will offer a smooth ride, with exceptional fuel efficiency. Exterior and Interior Styling Photos of the new CX-90 have all been covered in camouflage wrap up to this point. However, we still get a pretty good idea of what kind of styling to expect in the new SUV. The CX-90 has the distinctive Mazda profile with swooping lines, an aerodynamic design, and thoughtful details like a rear spoiler or uniquely shaped rear windows. We haven’t seen any photos of the interior yet, but we know that Mazda is planning to upgrade the profile on this new SUV, so we’re expecting a lot of high-quality materials and conscientious design choices throughout the cabin. We also expect all three rows to offer plenty of leg room and for the seating to be ergonomic for maximum comfort. Safety Features Mazda outfits its vehicles with many of the best safety features on the market, including forward-collision warning, adaptive cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, and more. With the upward trajectory that the CX-90 is set to take, we expect to see a full suite of these features, plus a few extras. More adaptive safety features are expected, as are features that you normally wouldn’t find except on higher trim levels. Shop Seacoast Mazda for the All-New CX-90 The lack of concrete details has been frustrating to Mazda enthusiasts, but we know that the wait will be well worth it for this exciting new SUV. Sales on the CX-90 are expected to begin in 2023, and more details will become available as the time gets closer. Be one of the first to know by watching this space and by visiting Seacoast Mazda to be one of the first to take a test drive.

The Mazda CX-50 is a brand new vehicle, but it is already making a huge impact in the market with its flashy style, spirited performance, and range of superior technology options. Now, the small SUV is racking up even more praise, earning the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s Top Safety Pick+ designation. In order to win this top honor, a vehicle must earn “Good” or better ratings in at least six of the institute’s crash-readiness evaluations. The vehicle must also have a front crash prevention system that earns a score of “advanced” or “superior” on tests for vehicle-to-vehicle and daytime vehicle-to-pedestrian crashes. The 2023 Mazda CX-50 earned the following scores: Small overlap front, driver: Good Small overlap front, passenger: Good Moderate overlap front: Good Side: Good Roof strength: Good Head restraints and seats: Good Headlights, all turbo trims: Good Headlights, all non-turbo trims: Acceptable Front crash prevention, vehicle-to-vehicle: Superior Front crash prevention, vehicle-to-pedestrian, day: Superior Child seat anchors (LATCH) ease of use: Good+ Only turbo models of the new Mazda CX-50 are offered with curve adaptive headlights, which accounts for the difference in the safety test ratings. Non-turbo trim levels come with static LED headlights. Not all safety tests conducted by the IIHS factored into its selection of its Top Safety Picks, though these tests are instructive for buyers, who want to better understand the comprehensive safety performance of vehicles. The IIHS performs these safety tests each year, providing extensive testing results across the industry. The IIHS is an independent safety-testing organization that is not affiliated with the government. It is funded by the insurance industry. Several other Mazda vehicles were named Top Safety Pick+ recipients this year, including the Mazda 3 (sedan and hatchback), CX-30, CX-5, and CX-9. Safety Features Mazda adds several safety features to the CX-50 that provide even more protection on the road. Some of the standard features include adaptive cruise control, lane keep assistance, lane departure warning, blind spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and pedestrian detection. Safety features are added on the higher trim levels, including adaptive front lighting, front and rear parking sensors, Traffic Jam Assist, and a 360-degree view monitor. Rear automatic braking is optional on all trims. As most automakers tend to build on these features over time, rather than removing or replacing, you can expect future models of the CX to be even safer.

The Mazda MX-Miata has a long and popular history, which means that it has a bright future ahead of it. Fans will come back to this stylish sports car year after year, looking for the same quality they have come to expect yet excited for new innovations. Fans have been waiting for news of the 2023 Mazda Miata, but so far, details have been scant. The automaker has leaked a few small details, and others are merely speculation based on the evolution of the model and the future goals for Mazda. Here’s what we know - or think we know - so far about the 2023 Mazda Miata: Partially Electric Powertrain Mazda has said that it wants to introduce more technology in its lineup. Specifically, it has said that, in the next three years, it wants to offer five new hybrid vehicles, five new plug-in hybrid vehicles, and three new electric vehicles. Since the Miata is one of Mazda’s most popular vehicles, there is a good chance that it will be one of the chosen models to get the electric treatment. However, since the Miata is a sportier vehicle, it is more likely to get a hybrid treatment, rather than a full electric treatment at this point. Industry insiders are predicting a “mild hybrid” setup in the 2023 model. New Generation, New Look The last generation of the Mazda Miata was introduced in 2016, which seems like an eon in terms of vehicle generations. It is well due for a new generation, and industry experts are predicting that 2023 could be the year for it. With the introduction of a new generation, there will certainly be a new look for the Miata. But even if a whole new generation is not introduced in 2023, the Miata is overdue for some styling upgrades, and Mazda could take this opportunity to freshen up a few items. New Features The Mazda Miata has always offered some of the best features available, as well as some of the most advanced technology. We expect that the 2023 Miata will build on the features that are available in the current model, taking the offerings to the next level. To understand what the 2023 model might offer, we have to consider what is offered in the 2022 model: a manually folding soft top, kinematic posture control, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a premium sound system, and more. Higher trim levels add enhanced seats, premium brakes, additional safety features, and more. Expect to find all this and a few extras in the 2023 Miata. Shop for the All-New Mazda Miata at Seacoast Mazda When the 2023 Mazda Miata becomes available, Seacoast Mazda will be proud to offer it. In the meantime, contact us today to be one of the first to know when the new model is ready. You’ll be able to take a test drive and discover all the exciting new features the next Miata has.

Mazda has always been at the forefront of automotive innovation. In recent years, it has put out some gorgeous vehicles that deliver exceptional performance and come with advanced technology that make driving fun. Recently, Mazda announced that it will introduce two new exciting vehicles that build on that legacy: The all-new Mazda CX-70 and the Mazda CX-90. These two crossovers will be built on a new platform that Mazda is introducing, and they’ll be released sometime after another new model, the CX-50, is released in November. Industry experts estimate that the CX-70 will arrive at the end of this year and the CX-90 will arrive early in 2023. Here’s what we know so far: Longitudinal Platform The longitudinal platform was developed as part of Mazda’s stated plans to make a quarter of its vehicles be electric by 2030 and to have all of its vehicles have at least some degree of electrification. This new platform is a straight-six with rear-wheel drive. It has a double wishbone front suspension for improved handling. The engine is expected to have a plug-in hybrid system to save on fuel consumption, as well as a turbocharger to amplify performance. Not very many details have been released about the platform other than a diagram, but we expect big changes based on the goals that Mazda has set. We expect that more details will come out throughout the summer, and we’ll be reporting as we get them. Additional Details Details are scarce about these two new vehicles, as they often are in the first days after an early announcement. However, we do know a few items of interest. The Mazda CX-70 will be a two-row vehicle, while the Mazda CX-90, which will replace the current CX-9, will be a three-row vehicle. Mazda also says it will optimize the configuration of the CX-90 so that it offers more interior and cargo space. Both models were designed for audiences looking for larger SUVs. Mazda has its sights set on competitors like BMW, Honda, and Lexus, with the goal of pulling out of comparisons to more budget-friendly models like Nissan or Toyota, so we expect to see a lot of high-end materials and features in both new models. Mazda has already been designing its vehicles with more sophisticated choices, so this will be a natural evolution for the automaker. Expect to see the Mazdas to look and perform even better than before. Shop for the Latest Mazdas at Seacoast Mazda When more details become available about the Mazda CX-70 and the CX-90, we’ll be sharing them here.

Who says that it can’t be fun to drive a compact crossover? Certainly nobody that’s ever been behind the wheel of the CX-30 2.5 Turbo. It’s a newer addition to Mazda’s lineup, and it’s one of the most fun to drive. The performance specs on this car are off the charts, but that’s not the only thing that makes this car fun. It’s a top-notch choice all-around, and we’ll highlight why for you here. Improved Performance Specs Anytime you turbocharge an engine you can expect the performance specs to jump, and that’s certainly the case with the Mazda CX-30 2.5 Turbo. While the stock engine pushes out 186-horsepower and 186 ft-lb of torque, the turbocharged engine puts those numbers to shame. The 2.5 turbo pushes out 250-horsepower and an impressive 310 ft-lb of torque, which leads to a faster and more responsive engine that is simply more fun to drive. It takes the 0 to 60 time from 8.1 seconds to 5.8. While the standard 2.5 isn’t the quickest compact crossover on the market, when you get the turbocharged engine it’s easily one of the fastest. Sport Mode! If you’re looking for the maximum takeoff speed and most responsive drive with the CX-30, all you need to do is move the shifter to Sport Mode. This unlocks all the performance features you crave, but it also allows you to save some money on fuel when you don’t need the extra pickup. Sport Mode is a great feature for the Mazda CX-30 2.5 Turbo, and we highly recommend that you take full advantage of it. The Sound System Having a quick and responsive vehicle makes it fun to drive, but of course you still need some tunes! That standard sound system in the Mazda CX-30 comes with 8 speakers. But if you’re looking for even more sound and quality, then they offer an upgraded Bose 12-speaker package starting at the Premium trim level. Between the 2.5 Turbo and the 12-speaker Bose sound system, there’s no doubt that the CX-30 turbo is a blast to drive! Safe as Ever Mazda is all about making vehicles that are both fun and safe to drive. The CX-30 fits that mold, and it comes with tons of safety features. These features include the Lane Departure Warning System, Lane-Keep Assist, a rearview camera, Smart Brake Support, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and a Driver Attention Alert System. Whether you’re the one getting behind the wheel or you’re thinking of when your kids start driving, just because it’s fun doesn’t mean it’s not safe! Final Thoughts Are you interested in getting behind the wheel of a CX-30 2.5 Turbo? Reach out to Seacoast Mazda and they’ll help you get behind the wheel and experience everything this crossover SUV has to offer. Even if you’re not ready to get behind the wheel and you just have a few questions feel free to reach out, the experts there would love to hear from you and answer any questions you might have!

The Mazda CX-50 is an exciting, stylish, versatile, 5-door crossover SUV that's poised to take the North American market by storm. It has an attractive exterior, comfortable, spacious, technologically-advanced interior, superb driving dynamics and can deliver superior performance both off-road and on. It's a great blend of quality, style and sophistication. Here are 5 of the Mazda CX-50's highlights: 1. Attractive Exterior Styling The Mazda CX-50 has a large, dark metal grille, LED head and tail lights, a long hood, a wide, planted stance and a nice sleek silhouette. There are side air intakes near the front bumper and in the back and it has flared fenders, broad shoulders and integrated high-strength roof rails for its accessory roof rack installation. The CX-50's extra wide back door opening acts as a step to make reaching gear on the roof rack easier. Plus, its black wheel cladding, 18-inch alloy rims and dual chrome exhaust tips give it an appealingly rugged appearance. 2. A Sophisticated All-Wheel-Drive System The Mazda CX-50 has Mazda's unique, advanced all-wheel drive system. It lets the SUV leave the paved roads for exciting off-road adventures. Plus, a strut front suspension and torsion-beam rear axle lets it climb mountains or go to campsites in the woods. The CX-50 has firm suspension damping that adds to Mazda's traditional on-road prowess and makes it ideally suited for off-road adventures. 3. A Great Cabin The Mazda CX-50 has an impressive, comfortable terracotta-colored interior. This 2-row 5-seater has push-button start, high-quality materials with fine stitching, wide seats and lots of legroom. The cabin layout has symmetrically arranged controls, a luxurious, outdoorsy ambiance and a panoramic sunroof. There's a full-color infotainment display screen, rotary controller, Mazda Connect infotainment system, available Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, HD radio, Bose audio system, wireless phone charging, navigation, 7-inch LCD instrument panel display, USB ports and dual-zone automatic climate control. 4. Off-Road Mode The new Mazda CX-50's off-road mode has more precise turn-in response from increased G-Vectoring control gain. In off-road mode, weight is shifted to the front tires for better traction, engaging the all-wheel drive system prevents oversteer and yaw damping stops the tail from sliding around. On steep hills, the idle raises automatically and allows a smoother transition to torque application. The SUV's ABS system is engaged and holds the brakes so the vehicle won't roll back. The engine's naturally strong torque kicks in right off idle and the transmission locks the torque converter. In this launch position, the torque converter provides smoother power delivery so the vehicle can traverse large obstacles easily. 5. Unique Features Two features make the Mazda CX-50 unique. Its i-Active all-wheel drive system that can predict situations when wheelspin will occur then immediately sends power where it’s needed. And the CX-50's Mi-Drive or Intelligent Drive Select system lets you choose from Normal, Sport or Off-Road mode to improve vehicle response and quickly accelerate without downshifting.
