The Mazda CX-50 has already built a reputation as one of the most adventure-ready SUVs in Mazda’s lineup — and now, Mazda is bringing a Hybrid version that adds improved efficiency without sacrificing capability. If you’re curious about how big it is, how much room it has, or whether it’s ready for New England roads and weather, this breakdown will walk you through the essential specs in a way that actually helps you picture it in your daily life.
How big is the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid?
One of the most common questions shoppers ask is simple: “How big is it?”
The 2025 CX-50 Hybrid (Mazda has confirmed the Hybrid arrives beginning with the 2025 model year) keeps the same overall footprint as the gas model:
- Length: About 185.8 inches
- Width: 75.6 inches
- Height: 63.9 inches
- Wheelbase: 110.8 inches
What does that actually mean?
It means the CX-50 Hybrid is a midsize SUV that’s easy to maneuver in Portsmouth, Dover, or Seacoast traffic, but long enough to feel planted and spacious on the highway. The long wheelbase also gives it that smooth, balanced ride Mazda is known for.
If you’ve driven vehicles like the CX-5 before, the CX-50 Hybrid feels noticeably longer, wider, and more capable — especially when you’re loading up passengers or gear.
What’s the ground clearance on the CX-50 Hybrid?
Ground clearance is a big deal in New England — snow, uneven dirt roads, boat ramps, and rough parking lots can all test an SUV.
The Mazda CX-50 Hybrid offers 8.3 inches of ground clearance, which puts it right in line with adventure-oriented SUVs. That’s enough height to clear snow buildup in winter, take on mild off-road trails, or handle gravel access roads up north on the weekends.
Mazda has also tuned the suspension for stability, so you get confident capability without feeling like you’re bouncing around.
How much cargo space does the CX-50 Hybrid offer?
Families, dog owners, and weekend adventurers usually ask this next: “How much can it carry?”
Cargo numbers for the hybrid are the same as the gas model:
- 31.4 cubic feet behind the second row
- 56.3 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down
This layout gives you a deep, wide cargo area that’s perfect for beach gear, hiking packs, strollers, golf clubs — or just the weekly Costco run. The power liftgate (available on many trims) makes loading easier when your hands are full.
What other key specs should you know?
While Mazda hasn’t released every detail, here’s what’s confirmed for the CX-50 Hybrid:
- Powertrain: Toyota-sourced hybrid system (same platform as RAV4 Hybrid) paired with Mazda tuning for improved responsiveness
- All-Wheel Drive: Standard
- Horsepower: Around 219 combined system hp (Mazda may tweak final output)
- Towing Capacity: Expected to be up to 1,500 lbs
- Fuel Economy: Projected around 38–40 mpg combined
In short: you get the rugged versatility of a CX-50 with dramatically better fuel efficiency — perfect for long commutes, weekend trips, or anyone watching fuel costs.
Is the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid a good fit for New Hampshire drivers?
If you like the idea of a capable SUV that’s still easy to drive every day, the CX-50 Hybrid hits the sweet spot. It’s efficient enough for commuting, strong enough for foul-weather confidence, and roomy enough for family life or outdoor hobbies.
