Mazda CX-50

EPA MPG: 27 mpg

RECALL ALERT:
There are 2 recalls on this vehicle. Learn More.

Road Test

Mazda might like active, outdoorsy buyers to think of the rugged-looking CX-50 as an alternative to the Ford Bronco Sport or Subaru Outback. We say ignore the marketing hype about off-road excursions, and instead focus on the CX-50’s sporty on-road handling, upscale cabin, and comfortable seats, because it’s in those areas that it excels when viewed against other small SUVs. Unfortunately, acceleration is on the slow side for the class with the base engine, the transmission suffers from some bumpy shifts, and the infotainment system is frustrating to use.
