2024 Mazda CX-50 Turbo Meridian Edition

The Mazda CX-50 has become a strong choice for drivers who want compact-SUV practicality with standard all-wheel drive and an adventure-focused edge. For shoppers around Portsmouth, Dover, Exeter, Hampton, and the wider Seacoast region, the next question is obvious: what will the 2027 Mazda CX-50 bring? As of October 2026, full U.S. specifications, pricing, trims, and an on-sale date for the 2027 CX-50 have not been released. That makes the current 2026 model the best guide to what buyers can expect while we wait for confirmed 2027 details. Has the 2027 Mazda CX-50 Been Announced Yet? Not yet. The 2026 CX-50 is still the current model year in the U.S., so it’s the version shoppers in Portsmouth and across the Seacoast can drive today. That means exact claims about 2027 equipment, fuel economy, or trim changes would be premature. Until those details are official, the practical approach is to separate confirmed current-model information from anything that remains unknown. What Does the Current Mazda CX-50 Offer? The 2026 CX-50 gives shoppers a clear picture of the model’s current strengths. Gas-powered versions come with standard i-Activ AWD and a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine producing 187 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque. Turbo models produce 227 horsepower and 310 lb-ft on regular 87-octane fuel, or 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft on premium 93-octane fuel. Properly equipped Turbo models can tow up to 3,500 pounds. Depending on model and wheel size, ground clearance ranges from 8.3 to 8.6 inches. Cargo space measures 31.4 cubic feet behind the second row and up to 56.3 cubic feet with it folded, useful for hiking gear, luggage, camping equipment, and road trips from the Seacoast to the White Mountains. Will There Be a 2027 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid? The return of the CX-50 Hybrid and its exact 2027 specifications are still unconfirmed. For context, the 2026 CX-50 Hybrid combines a 2.5-liter gasoline engine, three electric motors, an e-CVT, and standard electronic AWD. Total system output is 219 horsepower, with EPA-estimated fuel economy of 38 mpg combined and a 551-mile total driving range. Those numbers are useful benchmarks for the current hybrid, but they should not be treated as guaranteed 2027 specifications. How Much Could the 2027 Mazda CX-50 Cost? 2027 pricing has not been announced. The 2026 CX-50 currently starts at $29,900 MSRP before destination, while the 2026 CX-50 Hybrid starts at $34,750. Those figures provide a reliable baseline, but the next model year could bring changes to pricing, trim structure, or standard equipment. When Could the 2027 Mazda CX-50 Arrive? A U.S. on-sale date has not been released. Until 2027 pricing and packaging details are available, estimated release dates should be treated as speculation rather than a confirmed shopping timeline. For drivers shopping now, the 2026 CX-50 and CX-50 Hybrid remain the fully specified models available to compare. Where Can You Get 2027 Mazda CX-50 Updates in Portsmouth, NH?

While online speculation runs wild about what the all-new Mazda Miata model expected in 2027 or 2028 will look like, fans of this evergreen sports car can look forward to a brand-new green color option for the 2027model of this iconic two-seater. So what's so exciting about a green exterior color paint on the Mazda Miata? The absence of green exterior paint options on the Mazda Miata, and across several Mazda models, has not gone unnoticed, but future Miata owners will be rejoicing. Mazda’s Miata MX-5 hasn't been seen finished in any factory-shipped green paint since the 2007-2008 model year. At the time, the then-NC-designated Miata model was available in Highland Green Mica. Has the Mazda Miata always been available in green? Now, earlier Miata models were also available in green hues popularized by classic British open sports cars from MG, Triumph, and, of course, Lotus in the 1960s. For those not in the know, these small British sports cars inspired the original Miata MX-5's design in the late 1980s, and they always look resplendent in green paint like the universally popular classic British Racing Green. Mazda’s Miata has a history of factory green paint as follows: 1991 - British Racing Green on the 1st generation NA Special Edition 1997 - Marina Green Mica applied to the NA M Edition 1999–2004 - Emerald Mica found on the second-generation NB model 2001 - British Racing Green on the NB Special Edition model 2003 - Splash Green 2005–2006 - Nordic Green Mica And of course, the above-mentioned Highland Green for the 2007- 2008 NC model. What Color is Mazda Zinc Green? As we all know, primary car paint colors have myriad iterations, and green paint is no different. Mazda calls its new, extra-cost green paint hue inspired by the color and texture of zinc chromate primer, a premium lifestyle color, like Mazda’s highly popular Polymetal Gray Metallic exterior paint option. But why zinc chromate primer? You may ask, well, Mazda says the new color combines toughness with refinement, creating a strong presence that blends with modern natural landscapes and urban settings. This new Zinc Green incorporates bluish metallic flakes into the color formulation, with optimized particle size and alignment to achieve its cool and sophisticated tone. Under overcast skies or low light, this new color gives the sleek lines of the latest Miata convertible roadster a subdued gray-green or matte gray look, then transitions in bright daylight to a rich, vibrant green metallic sheen, a perfect finish to accentuate the latest 2027 Mazda Miata’s sculpted, sporty lines. Is the new Mazda Zinc Green paint color available now? Yes, Mazda has made the extra-cost Zinc Green paint available on all new Mazda Miata orders.

Choosing the best vehicle for your hard-earned dollars is no longer easy with so many good choices available. Considerations like affordability, brand loyalty, past experiences, performance, fuel economy, and, of course, personal style all influence our decisions. Size comparison: Mazda3 Hatchback vs Honda Civic Both these five-door Japanese models compete in the compact passenger car segment. The Mazda is slightly shorter at 175.6 inches versus the Honda at 179 inches, with the Honda marginally wider at 70.9 inches versus the Mazda’s 70.7 inches. In comparison, the Mazda stands taller at 56.9 inches compared to the Honda at 55.7 inches. Powertrain comparison: Mazda3 hatchback vs Honda Civic These two contenders approach engine choices a little differently. The Mazda offers better performance and a more spirited drive with larger displacement and optional turbocharging. In contrast, the latest Honda Civic Hatchback focuses on high-efficiency hybrid powertrains and standard gasoline options. The Mazda’s naturally aspirated 2.5-liter SKYACTIV four-cylinder engine produces 191 horsepower @6,000 rpm and 189 pound-feet of torque @4,000 rpm, and a powerful turbocharged version makes 250 horsepower @5,000 rpm and 320 pound-feet of torque @2500 rpm. Both engines come standard with a SKYACTIV-Drive 6-speed automatic transmission with manual and sport modes across most trims, with FWD or optional Mazda iACTIV AWD. The Honda’s standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder makes 150 horsepower and 133 pound-feet of torque, while the available 2.0-liter Hybrid power unit produces a combined 200 horsepower and 232 pound-feet of torque. Power goes through a CVT to the front wheels only. Which looks better: the Mazda3 Hatchback or the Honda Civic? Styling is very subjective, and like the powertrain comparison, these two hatchbacks do things differently. The Mazda offers a more traditional hatchback silhouette, while the Honda has distinctly fastback styling. The Mazda3 offers sporty looks with striking curves and angles courtesy of its Kodo design language. The modern exterior features a large front grille, slim horizontal auto on/off LED headlights, and standard LED daytime running lights for safety. The sporty look continues to the rear LED combination taillights, plus a standard black-finished rear roof spoiler and different-style alloy wheels from 16 to 18 inches, depending on trim level. The latest Honda Civic hatchback is also sporty, with an aerodynamic fastback silhouette and an aggressive stance, plus modern touches like LED headlamps and LED taillamps, plus 18-inch alloys across the trims. Interior and cargo space comparison Compact cars are great for city use, with everyday versatility for loading shopping and kids. Both offer seating for five, and the Mazda offers an EPA cargo volume of 20.1 cubic feet, growing to 47.1 cubic feet once the standard 60/40 split-fold-down rear seatback is down. The Honda offers 24.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the 60/40 split-folding rear seats that fold down to expand storage for larger items.
