The 2023 Mazda CX-50 is a handsome mid-size SUV with off-road creds. In a sea of SUVs, what makes the CX-50 turbo simply more fun and engaging to drive? We tested the CX-50 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus which includes full time AWD, leather, Bose audio, heads up display and the more powerful engine.

I've been driving Mazda since 1996 and don't think I'll ever switch to another brand.

@HerbieMiata 2 месяца назад

I’ve got a 2016 CX-5 and an 1997 MX-5 both so reliable and the customer service they provide is top notch. They’re not constantly pressuring me to trade up. They also honour warranties which I feel is so important.

@JVizGamer 7 дней назад

Are they reliable?

@davidwayne9982 11 месяцев назад

After two weeks of watching videos and thinking of others -- like the GX460 (fun and more capable but gas hogs)..I think I"ve settled on this one... LOVE this design.

@maxxbenzz7842 Месяц назад

And probably 10k more expensive

@davidwayne9982 11 месяцев назад

Torque is because of the REAL transmission- and the 6 speed is PERFECT- 8 is too many- strains at certain levels and is just too much. This I think is the one I have settled on-- and yes- FAST ENOUGH-- it meets the speed limits with no issues-- don't need a damn hotrod.. I think I'd like the Meriditian trim.. but I LOVE that color-- like the crystal red too... but can't get that on the meridian trim..

you can make it full time touch screen in the menus. look it up

@RogerSirard Год назад

I really enjoyed your canyon carving. I felt like was your passenger, lol. They just released the 2024 CX50 upgrades to the suspension and steering. Do you believe the steering upgrade and the more comfortable ride due to the dampers would be worth waiting for. The steering is what most of you reviewers appreciate in the 2023 and I am concerned I will be disappointed in the 2024 steering upgrade. Anyway, I hope to get your opinion on my query.......... and great review ! TIA

@revmatchtv Год назад

It's hard to say what the differences will be so I can't really say if they are worth waiting for.

That price is close too if not in the Acura RDX arena..

A little cheaper. The RDX is boring to drive imo

@photog1529 4 месяца назад

I'm considering a 2024 Mazda CX-50 Meridian. Watched a lot of reviews, but not a single reviewer has made mention of the cylinder deactivation (base engine) or the start/stop i-Stop feature (turbo engine). Cylinder deactivation is absolutely a no-go for me, which leaves only the turbo consideration. Not fond of the engine shutting down when coming to a stop either. Why? Can the i-Stop feature be disabled or somehow permanently disabled?

@revmatchtv 4 месяца назад

I'm not sure. Maybe check some forums. I only had the car for a week.

The wireless phone charger sucks!

@TrunkMonkey42 5 месяцев назад

Would be great cars if they had comfortable interiors and modern features like lane centering. The seats are terrible. Why is the center console switched around in the CX-50 versus the other models? The wireless charging is not large enough to fit ultra size phones. Where is the wireless charging for the passenger's phones? I do not really like not being able to see outside the small rear window on compact cars. Maybe the rear view mirror should have a rear view camera like some other cars have. The entire dash could be rear view screens. Need to get rid of the chrome inside. Is there a black out kit? Hate the high contrast white on black infotainment. Does Mazda need to update to a dual clutch 10 speed transmission?

@matsudakodo Год назад

I would call it a "larger CX-30". It's not a higher-end CX-5. Otherwise good review. Also darker colors are better on this one to better hide those plastic fender covers and fake rear vents.

@romeropostali520 8 месяцев назад

Rugged? I don’t see this as rugged at all and if that’s Mazda’s marketing directive with the cx50 they are barking up the wrong tree. Sporty and refined/premium would be a much better take.

@davidwayne9982 11 месяцев назад

Nothing " OFFROAD" about that-- hell we have DRIVEWAYS that are FAR worse than that...

@dystopia-usa Год назад

Too large & squared-off for my taste personally, & turbo engines from any automaker don't usually age well & are just a variety of problems waiting to happen. Love my 2022 CX-30 CE non-turbo though, so hats-off to Mazda.

@jclouw321 Год назад

Turbo technology has been excellent for years and years now. Brands like Toyota, Volvo, Saab (rip) and others have been making extremely reliable turbo engines for decades now. Heck I’ve got 2 turbo Volvo wagons in my garage totaling almost 500k in miles between the two, both on their original turbos and without needing any major engine work. And that’s not unheard of at all, at least with that brand. Mazda seems to have done a great job keeping their turbo system basic and low pressure, two things that tend to lead to long lasting turbo engines. Being wary of turbo technology is like how people where wary of fuel injection in older engines. Was it always reliable? No. But the tech has advanced so far that not adding a turbo is doing a disservice to power output and efficiency in many cases.

@cwqrpportable 6 месяцев назад

You're living in yesterday's world with regards to modern turbos

@dystopia-usa 6 месяцев назад

@@cwqrpportable They used to be worse, but they still aren't reliable long-term, especially if your typical driving/commuting & maintenance routines match that of most people. Go watch the Car Care Nut video on turbo engines, their inherent shortcomings/problems, & how to maximize their lifespan. Smaller-displacement turbo engines are the worst of modern turbos though & are a pretty bad investment. I'll stick to naturally-aspirated engines myself. My 2.5L 186hp 2022 CX-30 CE is plenty peppy without a turbo & gets reasonably-good MPG at the same time, so I'm happy.

@cwqrpportable 6 месяцев назад

@@dystopia-usa All that counts is that you're happy. I watch all of AMD's videos, he's a good man. I agree with you that, to run a turbo efficiently and for long term use, an owner has to be vigilant about maintenance, no arguing that. I run a fleet of turbo charged engines in pick up trucks and heavy machinery in my open pit mine and quarry. I too am very happy with the longevity of these turbo engines, run in extreme operating conditions. The benefits of these forced induction engines far outweighs the risks. Downtime due to mechanical issues is a big problem in a business. I'm currently shopping for a small SUV and have narrowed my list to the '24 CR-V EX-L hybrid and the '24 CX-50 GT Turbo, I love the Ingot blue in that model. It doesn't scare me at all to buy the turbo motor in that 2.5 Skyactive; I've been around turbos a long time, including in smaller engines. I've only test driven the turbo GT, maybe I'll see if they have a non turbo model for me to compare. At this point I'm open to comparisons. Keep enjoying your CX-30, they seem like a nice little ride. I appreciate Mazda's approach to design and performance and their warranty is superb.

@reddfoxx897 6 месяцев назад

BMW has some of the best modern day turbo engines in existence. Everything at some point has an issue, I mean look at the human body or even our cell phones.

@jcsdesign Год назад

I agree with you how the seats are not the most comfortable. In fact, no review has ever said the seats are comfortable. They are quite firm to the point that they aren't comfortable for a long drive. Also, the panoramic sunroof has one of the worst opening of any panoramic sunroof. For the first attempt, it is very disappointing. As nice the exterior, interior and features that this offer I feel like this car's excitement will wear off fast.

@eleanormassaro5195 Год назад

Still loving mine after over six months! i’ve gotten used to the firm seats. Especially since they fit the curvature of my back perfectly! I’ve already done three road trips in my CX 50, and I’m getting ready to do my fourth one next weekend. I still love having the wider glass on the panoramic roof. Yes, it would be nicer if it opened up wider but it’s no big deal living here in Florida. If I had to do it all over again, I would probably get the turbo model for a little bit more power😁

@eleanormassaro5195 Год назад

The Bose system could use more bass? Perhaps your settings weren’t set right. I feel like there’s plenty of bass on the Bose system.

@ZacharyT94 Год назад

@@eleanormassaro5195 The Bose system does indeed have plenty of bass but there is a bit of bleed into other frequencies and it can get a bit sloppy, but only a minor gripe (I have a ‘22 CX-5 Akera turbo, known as Turbo Signature in US) in an amazing car, I do not regret the choice I made buying mine.

@@eleanormassaro5195 I’ve got mine on 1 for both centerpoint and audio pilot, it did clean it up a fair bit compared to when I had both on 3, to be honest it’s only a minor gripe anyway, I still like the sound system quite a lot and love the car.
