This is a Motormouth couple car review of the new Mazda CX-50 Meridian trim. Mazda promotes the CX-50 as an outdoor crossover that not only takes you comfortably into the outdoors and off-road, but it doesn’t sacrifice on-road driving dynamics.
The Mazda CX-50 is based on the same basic platform as the Mazda3 and CX-30 which extends to the suspension design with McPherson struts up front and a torsion beam at the rear.
It comes standard with Mi-Drive control with sport and offroad modes, the turbo model also has a tow mode and paddle shifters.
The Mazda CX-50 Meridian trim has distinctive hood graphics, headlight protection, 18” wheels and all-terrain tires and it only comes with one interior colour option, Terracotta. There are two engine options, the Meridian model has a 2.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder with a 6-speed automatic transmission. With premium fuel 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. If you use regular fuel, you’ll get a little less power 227 horsepower & 310 lb-ft of torque. The base engine is a 2.5L 4-cylinder with 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. Standard AWD.
The CX-50 offers 8.3”- 8.6” of ground clearance depending on the trim you choose and come standard with plenty of features in Canada. In the US, there is a more stripped-down base model with a lot less features but a trim for every budget.
