Owner of cx-50 turbo over a month now. All I got to say is to feed this with only premium fuel! Although regular can be used, the engine feels a bit sluggish with it. Putting in premium octane, the engine is noticeably more powerful and smoother.

Thanks for the video. I also just got the turbo premium plus and I ABSOLUTELY love it. The car has great style and nice features.

Great video Mason and Drew! I'm proud of both of you two!

Doesn't the premium plus have a heated steering wheel in the non turbo trim? How effective is the lane keeping assistance?

For long rides which one is better the cx-5 or cx-50?, which one is more comfortable and has the quietest cabin?

How is the highway Road noise for passengers in rear seats in Mazda CX50 GT Non-Turbo in Canada, and in USA called CX50 Premium Plus Non-Turbo? How noise compares to Honda CRV Hybrid 2024?

Looking for a new SUV and have had 3 Hyundai Santa Fe's previously. I like sitting high so you can see further down the road than being in a car. I know the CX 50 sits a little lower but Does the CX 50 sit low like a car or a bit higher so you have a better view of the road?

Before choosing a CX50 you should consider the following: 1. The GT’s 20” rims and standard Goodyears (Canada) cannot be considered an off-road tire. Hopefully it works in winter but you don’t have much tread depth. 2. This is no competitor to a Subaru product as there is no suspension travel, little ground clearance and a metric tonne-load of plastic under the Mazda (can you find the oil filter DIY’s) 3. Fussy interior: Beautiful sure but it marks so easily and that surface around the shifter is hard to clean and scratches easily. 4. How do you clean the heads-up display that sits in the well in the dash and do you find the display in the glass distorted or clear? 5. Don’t count on great mileage and oil change intervals seem to be more frequent. 6. Body: so many crevices to trap sand and salt over winter = early rust potential? Just wondering (had literally miles of weather strip components) 7. Rear storage: Disappointing! The problem is the roof height. If you travel with small family (4) you must consider bringing empty luggage to the dealership. You may find a CX5 works better as luggage can stand vertically back to back?Try it! Or reconsider other brands. Don’t simply rely on volume data. 8. Purchase experience: Maybe this is happening every where but freight and PDI seems greatly inflated and acting like a surcharge. 9. Ergonomics: Not bad. Glad to see some buttons but the stitching on the steering wheel isn’t smooth, spokes are awkward and grip width at the 9 and 3 position aren’t good. You might agree after 500 miles. 10. Chassis should be an inch or 2 taller to achieve a better ride and provide greater ground clearance. Isn’t this meant to be a better off-asphalt Mazda? 11. Seats. Be sure you are ok with the Mazda designed butt-floss. This is weird and should be changed mid-production. Seats are hard. Bolsters are very hard. Access and egress for taller front passengers is a pain. 12. Look hard at the CX5 before you buy the 50. 13. Outward visibility is poor due to the tall door sills and low seating position. This is greatly annoying and further, the shape of the mirror looks nice but is less functional. I recommend looking at Subaru as outward visibility is fantastic. 14. Decorative exterior panels scratch very easily.

Cx5 is mazdas global bread and butter vehicle. Mazda has not mentioned yet if it's gonna be discontinued here in the USA going forward, but for now is sold alongside the cx-50. It got a major refresh in 2022. This year it got a minor refresh. Word in the pipeline is that it could be redesigned for 2024 or 2026, or could continue to sell outside the USA, while we get a new lineup of SUVs going forward (cx 30, 50, 70, and 90). The cx-30 looks also dated and could be up for a major refresh. We shall see what happens when Mazda brings hybrid to the table for cx-50 and cx-30.
