Mazda’s popular compact crossover, the CX-50, already comes with a variety of features that enhance performance and handling on off-roading adventures. But with the new Meridian Edition, drivers who are committed to spending more of their time off the beaten path will enjoy even better performance. The new special edition is loaded with features that allow it to handle all types of terrain comfortably and capably. 

Here’s a closer look at what the 2023 Mazda CX-50 Meridian Edition has to offer: 

Performance Enhancements

Of course, when you’re looking at an all-terrain vehicle, performance will be a top concern. The 2023 Mazda CX-50 Meridian Edition features a number of performance enhancements. The edition is an option for the 2.5 Turbo trim level, so it has the same engine: A 2.5-liter Inline 4 turbocharged engine that puts out 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. The Meridian Edition then gets 18-inch alloy wheels with Falken all-terrain tires and rocker panels. It also includes the i-Activ all-wheel drive system and the Skyactiv Drive six-speed automatic transmission with a manual shifting mode. 

Unique Appearance

The 2023 Meridian Edition comes with a number of styling enhancements that give it a unique appearance in the lineup. The special edition comes in two exclusive colors: Polymetal Gray Metallic or Zircon Sand. Both are matched with a Terracotta brown leather interior with black accents. A matte black graphic is included on the hood to mark it as a special edition. 

A unique headlight surround is featured on the Meridian Edition, and the black alloy wheels have black wheel locks and lug nuts. 

Options Packages

Options packages are available for the Meridian, even though it is a special edition. 

The Apex package adds roof rack crossbars and a roof platform, giving you more options to carry your gear on your off-roading trips. There are splash guards to protect against mud and gravel. A different hood graphic also sets the model apart from other Meridians. 

The Meridian Choice package is a dealer-installed package that includes many of the same features, including the roof rack crossbars, roof platform, both front and rear splash guards, and a unique matte black hood graphic. It also has a unique garnish for the headlights and side rockers. It offers just a few subtle tweaks in the design to mark the model as special, while also ensuring that drivers have all the features they want.
