Mazda has been working hard to become more of a premium brand and years, the CX-5 has been that vehicle to showcase the best that Mazda has to offer for a great value. For 2023, the company is expanding their SUV family into the more rugged space with the new #MazdaCX50. The new #CX50 is more than just a wider #Mazda #CX5 with fatter tires. Built on the newer #MazdaCX30 and #Mazda3 platform, which is an updated version of the older CX-5 platform and built at their Toyota shared Alabama manufacturing facility, Mazda seemed to have perfectly paired its #KODO design language with a tougher, more butch design. Expect an even more hardcore #CX50MeridianEdition to show up later this

Happy Monday everyone and thank you for being so patient! We’ve been super excited to drive this one since Mazda first announced it last year and it’s a welcome upgrade over the CX-30 and CX-5 in space, capability, design, and comfort. We’re very excited to see the electrified option Mazda has planned in the near future. We also wanted to clarify, this vehicle technically shares the newer platform with the current Mazda3 and CX-30, not the older CX-5 platform. We imagine a lot of people may mistake it for a CX-5 platform but it’s the reason why the rear suspension is a non-independent torsion beam, instead of the multi-link setup in the CX-5.
no markups for me. I will keep looking.

Turbo badge is cool! I wish my 17' mazda6 had a turbo badge😒
Great review. Just confirms what garbage this is and why you should never by a Mazda 🤣💩👍
Thanks for the awesome review. Your delivery of the details and spec is so smooth and easy to understand. Keep the videos interesting and informative, thanks Sofiyan.
we need hybrid asap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It looks nice . I don’t like the black cladding that’s not painted body color. I would like better acceleration
I’m waiting for hybrid
I would buy this over the Honda cr-v for sure
It has all the right ingredients.
2023 Honda CrV looks better now than this .
Is the chime removal?
keep an eye on mazda they are making Big moves now that they are teamed up with toyota quality will improve and they are eyes wide open towards the luxury market
We get better MPG that what the EPA says to expect. Steady cruising on the highway will easily get you more than 30 MPG. If you drive more aggressively, you’ll get less.
I can't get over the screen not centered with console.
I was looking to buy this suv but after months of research I found that Mazda ‘s quality control isn’t as great as toyota or honda. They tend to have transmission and electrical issues. For now I’ll lease a rav4 and wait a few years to see how reliable the cx-50 is. Also fair warning, stay away from anything that has a cvt transmission. They tend to break at around 100k miles and will cost you around $10,000 to replace at the dealership.
I hate to be THAT person, but Lake Casitas is due east of SB lol. Jokes aside, great review and amazing work 🙂
For god's sake man, take a breath! Your delivery is WAY TOO FAST! You are giving me the impression that you have someplace better to go, and something better to do. It is exhausting to listen to!
Just test drove one and it's not even have a Turbo but it's really fast and comfortable, waiting for November to order one.
The lease on my 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe is ending in 3 months and I want to give Mazda or any other brand a try but its going to be hard to part with the Blind View monitor
mazda and this interior. i feel they been having the same interior for years. boring now
So… which end does one put snow chains on? It has a magnetic rear disconnect. Something to ponder.
Yes. The keyfob is kind of the worst part of the vehicle.
I thought the CX-50 was designed off the Mazda 3 platform? Overall excellent review.
Finally a reviewer the understands the CX50 isn't replacing the CX5. Two different markets. The CX50 is going after the Subaru market. The CX5 is going for the European market. By the time Mazda releases the new CX5 with the inline 6 my CX5 Signature will be ready for trade.
Love my Mazda
Love my mazda
Mahzdah. Oh you Amuricans. Love the reviews though! Just had to poke
I think Mazda should do something about the suspension and wheels. This vehicle rides stiff & is uncomfortable on broken pavements & dirt roads.
Mazda needs to address:
– driver screen
– speed.. 0-60 less than 7, 🎯 6.5
– painted trim on highest spec
– 12 In center display
– remove that center accent from seats
– blackout accent trim option
– remove old school shifter
– usb c everything
– 40/20/40 split rear seat
– add a PHEV version
– FIX that rear suspension
It's not the same atform as cx5
Love this Mazda But I hate the big black plastic wheel arches. Needs body color. I buy one.
too bad turbo version is in the same price range as the larger CX-9
The CX-50 is not built on the same platform as the CX-5. It is actually built on the same platform as the CX-30 and Mazda 3 hence the torsion beam rear suspension.
I wish they made more new cars with no LCD screens, touch screens, or any screens. Having owned a vehicle with a very nice 10" screen the past 3 years…I can say I miss older cars that had none of that crap.
I bought a new 2021 Mazda CX-5. I believe the CX-50 has the same engine. It burns engine oil from day one. I looked up and found a bulletin for my car to be repaired. I took it in and they agreed that my car fell under that bulletin according to the VIN but, that I had to wait for the engine light to come on. By my calculation that won't happen until one oil change after my warranty is up. Don't take a chance and buy Mazdas. They don't stand by their product unlike Honda for instance. At the time I was shopping for my car, they had fuel dilution problems with some of their engines. Similar to my problem but worse. They put out a bulletin and fixed it. Mazda will do whatever it takes to avoid paying to fix the problem, even when they themselves admit that there's a problem.
If you guys seen the Mazda cars they made for Germany. And other countries You’ll be like wow they gave us the worse. I mean it’s worse than the worse I don’t know how to say it. Freaking Mazda I think they don’t like US dollars no more.
Lol
Does anyone know if the cabin is quiet or meh?
You mentioned it has ambient lighting. Can that be confirmed? Cross shopping with RDX and trying to compare feature for feature. I also see heated rear seats but it looks like that may/may not be in them now….
Owned a mazda 3 before. Mazda made nice looking cars for sure, but not that reliable compare to Toyota and Honda or Subaru.
why so much positive remarks and promotion on this vehicle. I test drived Mazda last year and also two years ago and still completley dislik this vehicle and haven't changed my mind. what is specious interior abot this vehicle and Mazda in general.! Horrible set up display monitor with navigation system which belongs to 1st generation which is the worst of it's kind. ugley interior for the asking price. not to mention the crazy 1/2 way open panoramic sunroof, for the price I am suprixed that that one will consider buying or leasing this vehicle. compare the price range and design with specially the navigation and entertainment system of new 2023 Nissan Rough to this vehicle, and you will see the difference in design, quality and operation.
Mazda got this one right. The only thing i don't like might be the screen if it limits you from doing more. But this car you can tell Mazda put some soul into it…
There are only 2 things I don't like on the CX-50, without ever driving it… and that's the lesser head room than the CX-5, and the wheels that look like flower pedals. But the lesser head room, along with the longer wheelbase, will probably contribute to better handling than the CX-5. I like the ground clearance of the CX=50, and the CX-5, because then I'd be able to change my own oil/filter, and save lots of money.
I’ll pass… can’t do that black plastic siding…
