Really liking the look of the CX 50, particularly the front end. One of the nicest looking Mazdas right now. Hope they continue this trend with the wider, lower looking stance.

I have the CX-50 - the analog display is a major advantage for me! Fewer screens, more buttons, more dials and knobs! I just want to drive, not worry about tech.

Seriously one of the many reasons why I am a big fan of yours is you guys’ voice! Of course you guys worked at the radio! Watching and listening to your video is simply delightful. Sending love from NYC, US ❤

Can you do a compilation of lead foot Andrea and the concern on Zack's face please. 😂

Just bought one a month ago, same identical version. Wife loves it, amazed at how quiet it is even with the all terrain tires, and the front end looks so great.

All those "rugged" trims are money makers for carmakers. Subaru Wilderness and Toyota Trail have to be the benchmark in the industry. That's why Mazda has to come out with this Meridian trim on CX-50. Even though most consumer's definition of "off road" is speed bumps on the entrance to Costco. They still want to look rugged and tough

After hearing you mention the touchscreen while driving hack, I came across a video showing how to do this on a CX-60. The person went into settings, then connectivity settings, then Bluetooth Iphone connectivity settings, and then under “device(s)” select iPhone, and then you scroll down to the bottom to a check box “Touchscreen in Motion for all devices.” I’m so glad you mentioned this because my wife has been driving a 2018 x1 with Apple CarPlay that has both the dial and touchscreen. She loves the Mazda’s but refuses to go backwards with it not not having the touchscreen. You may have just put us in the market for a new Mazda! 🎉

Another great review from you guys. I saw your IG post regarding the new Mazda CX-90. I’m looking forward to your video review on that model!!

Solid video...thanks! Just ordered a 2024 Mazda CX-50 Premium Plus Turbo AWD...Zircon Sand/terracotta. Test drove it twice. On the second test drive, the salesman and I got lit up (cop pulled us over). Hahaaa. No dealer tag or something...let us go. IMHO (FWIW) a lot of bang for your buck vs forking out $20-40K more for a Porsche Macan or BMW X3.

That's one of my favorite interior color combo's! I had a 2014 Volvo S60 with a very similar interior. I think they called it Beachwood....how ever the seats in that car were crazy comfortable....the best iv'e ever had even when compared to my new Volvos....But back to this Mazda....this style of this and the pano roof make this the clear winner for me in the Mazda line up if you don't need a third row. Great review as always!

I test drove CX-50 two times and end up get a Subaru Outback Wilderness. The seats on CX-50 bother me and the Subaru is a lot more quiet, more comfortable seats. I love how the CX-50 and that was the reason I test drove two times, but at the end, I sit inside the car, a quiet cabin and comfort seat win for me.

All aspects covered well. Good job 👍

Great content! I have the Mazda CX-30 2021. I 🥰 it

I liked your review very much. I was disappointed in some very important details you left out. I own a 2023 CX-50. I traded in a CX-5 for the 50. I will list things that really highlight the CX-50: 1. Seating- I think the seating is more comfortable then the the CX-5. You are comfortably up on the steering wheel. Your arms and eyes see and control everything The seats give a very secure and comfort feeling to the driving 2. Accident Avoidance Maneuver: The CX-50 leaves ALL competition behind in this area. I lost count after 6 direct potential collisions were avoided by CX-50 because of it's quick sports car reaction to steering around the other drivers errors. I thought the CX-5 was good but CX-50 is in another league. The author stated the heavy steering effort has its detractors. I strongly disagree. The heavy feel steering and suspension work in perfect harmony with each other. A Audi driver would highly approve of this type handling arrangement. 3. Linear Brake Pressure and Brakes: The first thing I noticed on approaching the first CX-50 I saw were the very large disc brakes. The linear break pressure is solid from the top of the breaking application and never gets soft no matter how hard you break. The soft linear pressure of the CX-5 of no brakes at the top of braking application to hard engagement at the bottom of the brake travel left one unsecure how the vehicle was going to respond in an emergency. Not with the CX-50! The cat like reflexes of the steering,suspension and world class stopping power of the braking system make this car a class leader in its segment. Finally what I like about Mazda is that they listen. I was contacted 3 times by the factory to hear of my owner driving experience while I owned my CX-5 and I have been contacted once so far with the CX-50.

I like the analog cluster dials, as long as they tell you what you need to know, and they age better. Full LCD/tft/ or whatever screens some use age horribly, and look chintzy. Even screen tech ages so fast. LCD? TFT? What? No OLED? MUST have OLED HDR screen! Some of the screens look horrible in some of the Hyundai's. In a few years, the graphics will look so outdated, it'll feel like I'm staring at a TI83 calculator. As long as they can make analog dials look like a hand crafted clock it'll age far better. If you think analog looks dated, try looking at a car that had a digital dash cluster from 5-10 years ago. It'll look ancient. Because of the screen tech, graphic tech, or design, they hardly ever age well. In some older Lexus, they'll use a digital dash to display an analog dial which seems to age well.

Love your informative videos and your dynamics. It's the closest to experience and actual driving test. We're looking at a second car for my wife and considering the Forester, Rogue, and Mazda CX5 or CX 50. Although your videos are excellent, she needs to sit in the cars to decide. We don't want to visit show rooms. We bought tickets to the NY Car Show for April (2023) which would expose us to those brands and possibly others. Guess what- Mazda is not participating and will not have any cars to display !!! How disappointing!!! I hope you share this with your Mazda rep. Again Thank You for your reviews.

Overall looks like a nice vehicle. I get wagon vibes from it too, which is a good thing. Screen being off centre toward the passenger is only thing I don’t like.

Yep, I have the touchscreen enabled on my CX 50 so the touchscreen when it’s on Apple CarPlay works any time!😁

I too am a Mazda lover… I’ve always had Honda / Acura products but after buying a ND Miata im defiantly a mazda convert. My maxima is getting long in the tooth and the upcoming cx70 looks like the choice for us over an rdx or GV70. That 3.3t in-line 6 will be a fantastic option.

Great video. I have a 2023 CX-50 Preferred Plus (USA trim). I previously had three other Mazdas, a 2016 Mazda3 hatchback, 2018 CX-5 AWD Touring, and 2020 CX-5 FWD Touring (all non-turbo). I've had the CX-50 for almost 4 months and I'm very happy with it. I test drove a CX-50 Premium Plus with leather seats, and I like the cloth seats in the Preferred Plus more. Over the past several months I've come to feel that the CX-50 is aimed more at the car based crossovers, like the Subaru Outback, hence the lower stance. And Andrea, congratulations on learning to pronounce Mazda like an American. Meanwhile I pronounce (Kia) Sportage like a Canadian. I went to sleep away camp in Algonquin Park, Ontario back in 1975/1976, and so I pronounce Sportage like portage.

Drove a CX-50 today. Feels quite a bit different than the 5. Pros: less body roll and more control in corners. Transmission tuning is more responsive and avoids some of the sluggish ranges you get into with the 5. Cons: seats are much more firm. Different: brake pedal needs to be pressed harder, steering ratios are different depending on the speed you're driving. There's a clear difference in the dead center, with the 50's being more pronounced/wider I think. Despite the same engine and transmission, the car sounds different. I found that interesting. Ride quality felt comparable, with the 17" wheels on each. Maybe the 50 felt slightly tightened up, but not by much. There wasn't anything about visibility out of the 50 that stood out to me after driving the 5 for 6 years. I felt that the 50 was quiet, save for the wind noise coming from the sunroof (closed). I would personally save the money from that option since I don't tend to use them much. Subjectively, the door closing is less solid vs the 5 and shows some vibration on the outside door panel, especially on the rear doors. Yes, my CX-5 was made in Japan. The CX-50 was made in the USA. However it's in the new Toyota/Mazda production plant that *should* be up to the same standards. I'm currently stuck deciding if I should take a risk with these seats being so firm. Otherwise I liked the car.

Can the front passenger use touch screen when the car is moving, now? I have a 2021 CX-5, and it is really annoying when the touch screen or nob selection function got disabled whne the car speed is higher than certain km. Basically your front passenger can't help with navigation input at all, which I believe that is something driver can get help with. They really should allow that fundtion when front passenger is detected.

How does the cx5 compare with the Kia seltos? In terms of price and also fuel economy for the 2.5 litre cx50 and the seltos turbo 1.6?

I got one with base trim in Canada (GS-L), my other choice was the Subaru Forester Wilderness, I wish I had by the Subaru. I have a lot of couple issue with the CX-50, last repair was the both from seat, tear on the side of the seat. If I get another issue, I will trade it, my last 5 car was all Mazda , but first one built in USA, not sure it is a good choice.

Test drove one. It’s a great vehicle with the typical sporty Mazda drive (I own a Cx-9 which I love). But the seats were simply far too firm, much like the Cx-5.

For daily use, Will it help? It got all terrain wheels

This might just be Mazda’s best offering… might. From the side it looks like a RAV4, from the back (with those lights) it looks ‘some kind of premium car company’ … though I can’t place which, from the front it looks like literally every Mazda. I’m glad Mazda is still a contender in almost every category, within this class. The size, interior options and price make it very competitive. I love the terracotta interior and Mazda’s ‘one step above’ fit and finish. You’d be crazy not to shortlist this if it is the right size for you/your family. I certainly would consider it. Thanks for the video.

Great idea for smaller rims and bigger sidewalls. Yay

Just one suggestion for your videos - a little track time might teach you a better hand positions on the steering wheel. Those little bumps in the steering wheel are a hint...

I'll take the analogue cluster over a lcd screen for the drive information any day. I need something that I won't have to worry about going bad 3 years down the road. I have a 2018 Mazda CX-5 and right around the two year mark my info screen would occasionally start doing weird things. It turns out a lot of Mazda owners also had this problem where it looks like someone has taken over the control knob and is just shifting through random menus on the infotainment screen and turning things off and on. It's really annoying. Online, there have been several articles calling it "ghost touching". So for those of us who didn't run in right away to have it fixed under the three year warranty, Mazda dealers want $1,200.00 to replace the screen. I've seen Mazda owners on KZread literally just take the screen apart and cut the ribbon to the touch function and that solves the problem, except you can't use it as a touch screen anymore. The point is this: if Mazda couldn't do a proper screen in 2018, I don't trust them to do one now, and I need to be able to see the type of information that comes on those analogue clusters.

Did you guys damage the rocker fairing/mo(u)lding? (18:07) Lol.

Digital dashboards have, and always be cheap looking. If somebody wants to look at graphics, get a PS5. Or build a 4090 PC. Leave the car gauges just that. GAUGES.

I have yet to see one of the CX-50s on the road.

I drove a turbo CX 50 Meridian last week while I was picking up my new MX-5 GT Miata. I loved it as much as I love my Miata. The Meridian is going to be my next SUV.

I am the opposite and wanted the Miata but settled for the CX-50 as I can't load groceries in the other car lol. The CX-50 is top rated for safety BTW which just came out and will protect you in side impacts unlike the Miata for a daily

We have a Mazda cx50 2023 and need a pet barrier. Does Mazda have such a thing?

Very leopard speed too Andrea. Good looking car as usual from Mazda though I still think they excel with the sportier smaller sedan type models too.

The great thing about Mazda models is that they are really fun to drive! Heading to California tomorrow to drive the new CX-90, we can't wait to share our driving impressions.

@Andrea Spencer Absolutely agree Andrea, they do have that fun drive history. You'll certainly enjoy your drive tomorrow and look forward to hearing your thoughts on that experience in due course.

Andrea, how do these firm seats compare to the CX-90 you sat in?

The CX-90 seats seem better but we are going to have some seat time in the CX-90 on Monday in California. So we'll both get a better idea about how firm they are. Looking forward to sharing our driving impressions.

I am waiting for your praise (I assume) while driving the CX-70...

I agree that it’s a nice vehicle but the interior although upscale needs a refresh. Great video, love the dynamic between the two of you.

Regarding luxury Mazda, recall the Millenium? That was originally going to be Mazda's premium brand, but they canceled that when the economy was weak, so instead they made the Millenium the top of the line Mazda sedan

@@marshalljames5640 that's right, the Millennium was supposed to be the first model of that brand. Kia then appropriated Amati for their luxury model.

It's a risky time to be bringing out a premium line.

Mazda and Toyota are taking FOREVER to launch the CX50 hybrid. News reports that Toyota will supply the hybrid engines for the CX50 hybrid. Hopefully from the Rav4 Hybrid which is why I wanted the Rav4 in the first place. But, with Toyota dealerships being...... total dorks, and their price gouging, I will take a cx50 hybrid with the rav4 engine over it if the prices are reasonable and if the car is available. Mazda Design, with a reliable Toyota hybrid engine sounds good to me.

This is kinda like a budget X3 sDrive30i IMO I don't really think Rav4 or Subaru Forester buyers are looking at Mazda, Mazda is very much like Buick where they do just a lil bit more in the details to make the car feel slightly upmarket.
