Powerful and ready for adventures, the 2026 Mazda CX-50 is a great daily driver for active families. You can expect head-turning styling, premium comfort, and a range of advanced technologies you’ll love.

Refined Exterior Design

The 2026 CX-50 is a handsome crossover with a rugged yet refined exterior design. Sporty 17-inch wheels with a Black Metallic finish and all-season tires provide outstanding traction on dry, wet, and loose surfaces. Satin Chrome aluminum roof rails and dual exhaust outlets with a bright finish catch the eye in traffic, while the standard LED headlights offer bright illumination. A spectrum of classic and bold colors allows you to express your personality.

SKYACTIV-G Performance

Under the hood, you can choose between a standard SKYACTIV-G 2.5L 4-cylinder engine with 187 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque or an available twin-scroll turbo engine that pumps out up to 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. The base engine delivers smooth performance, fuel economy ratings of 26 MPG combined, and a towing capacity of 2,000 lbs. With the turbocharged powertrain, you can tow up to 3,500 lbs.

Empowering I-ACTIV AWD

All CX-50 models come standard with an advanced i-ACTIV all-wheel drivetrain designed to keep you glued to the road in all driving situations. Mazda’s Mi-Drive Sport and Off-Road drive modes and a six-speed automatic transmission with a manual shift mode allow you to adjust performance for various terrains and driving conditions, while the four-wheel independent suspension allows you to enjoy smooth rides on and off the road.

Premium Interior Features

The stylish cabin has a leather-wrapped steering wheel and half-leatherette seating surfaces. A six-way adjustable driver’s seat provides custom comfort, while the rear seat has a convenient center armrest with a tray and covered storage bin. In-cabin storage also includes a spacious glovebox, a covered center-console compartment, and an overhead console with room for sunglasses.

Impressive Utility

A deep and wide cargo area with a volume of 31.4 cubic feet can fit luggage for the whole family or outdoor gear and coolers positioned lengthwise. The rear bench has a convenient 60/40 split-folding design, so you can adjust the passenger and cargo areas as needed, up to a cargo capacity of 56.3 cubic feet with both seatbacks folded.

Advanced Tech Features 

Entertainment and connectivity come from a 10.25-inch MAZDA CONNECT infotainment system with HD Radio technology, wireless smartphone integration, and Alexa built-in. A standard wireless phone charger and USB ports in both rows allow all passengers to keep their devices charged, while steering-wheel-mounted audio, phone, and cruise controls reduce distractions while driving.
