Why this car stands out
This vehicle is ideal for buyers seeking a stylish, fuel-efficient compact SUV with a premium interior and engaging driving dynamics, who prioritize a refined experience over maximum cargo or rear passenger space.
Strengths
Features an upscale interior design with quality materials that feel premium for the segment.
Offers engaging handling and a comfortable, composed ride quality.
Delivers excellent fuel economy for a compact SUV with its hybrid powertrain.
Comes with a comprehensive suite of standard safety and driver-assistance features.
Tradeoffs
Cargo space behind the rear seats is below average for the compact SUV class.
Rear seat legroom can be tight, especially for taller adult passengers.
The infotainment system's rotary dial can be cumbersome to use for functions outside of Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.
The hybrid powertrain, while efficient, may lack the spirited driving excitement of non-hybrid Mazdas and can exhibit droning under acceleration.
What you might regret
Those who frequently carry adult rear passengers or need class-leading cargo capacity, or desire a more spirited hybrid powertrain, might find the CX-50 Hybrid less suitable.
