Mazda's CX-50 is a relatively new addition to the Japanese automaker's lineup, and it has already achieved massive success thanks to its compelling powertrain options and superb driving characteristics. The stylish compact crossover vehicle also promises a long list of desirable creature comforts and technologies. Let's take an in-depth look at the features of the 2024 Mazda CX-50!
Exploring the Versatility of the 2024 Mazda CX-50
Capable Performance and Handling
The CX-50 offers two variants of a 2.5L Skyactiv-G inline-4. The standard motor is naturally aspirated, producing a healthy 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. Those who want even more power can opt for the available turbocharged engine with its output of up to 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque good for a 0-to-60 time of well under six seconds. A smooth 6-speed automatic transmission completes the powertrain for both motors.
Impressive agility and stability in the corners result from the CX-50's well-tuned MacPherson strut front suspension and torsion beam rear suspension. For sharper turn-in, the standard G-Vectoring Control Plus technology makes subtle changes to power delivery and braking.
Intelligent All-Wheel Drive System
Every CX-50 boasts advanced i-Activ AWD, which features over two dozen sensors that monitor everything from steering and braking inputs to the temperature outside the vehicle. The information it gleans from these sensors is then used to determine the perfect amount of torque to send to each wheel in order to provide you with the best traction in a variety of conditions, ranging from wet, slippery roads to rugged off-road trails.
Generous Passenger and Cargo Space
Inside the CX-60's upscale cabin, there's plenty of room for five adults, including 41.7 inches of front legroom and 39.8 inches of rear legroom. The cargo hold features 31.4 cubic feet of space, but you can fold down the 60/40 split-folding rear seats to expand that figure to more than 56 cubic feet if you need to transport larger items.
Deluxe Amenities
Even in its most basic form, the CX-50 is well-equipped, sporting dual-zone automatic climate control, leatherette upholstery, and LED interior lighting. Many trims offer an 8-way power driver's seat with lumbar support and heated front seats, as well. Premium Plus models are genuinely luxurious with their leather-wrapped and ventilated seats. An available driver memory system removes the hassle of readjusting the seat and mirrors when switching drivers.
As for infotainment, an 8.8- or 10.25-inch display sits atop the dashboard and lets users to access wireless smartphone integration, Bluetooth technology, and HD Radio. If you fancy yourself an audiophile, then you'll certainly want to equip your CX-50 with the available 12-speaker Bose premium audio system.
