Mazda, like most automakers catering to the U.S. market, has slowly transitioned to a lineup dominated by SUVs. But that doesn’t mean the zoom-zoom agility of the brand’s sedans is a thing of the past, and nothing makes that more apparent than the 2024 Mazda CX-50. The suspension of the compact crossover gets a little fine-tuning to improve its already stellar handling. Now, the zip of the 187-horsepower base engine and the vroom of the more powerful turbocharged 256-horsepower option are even more thrilling, especially on winding backroads. The interior of the SUV gets a slight upgrade as well, and the 12-speaker Bose sound system now comes standard on the Premium trim and above. If you’re hunting for an SUV with ample space, an indulgent interior, and a thrilling driving experience, visit us at the Dennis Dillon Mazda dealership in Boise, ID, to take the 2024 CX-50 for a spin.
The fun-to-drive nature of the Mazda CX-50 is written all over the exterior design. Sleek LED headlights frame a large mesh grill. The contoured lines swooping down the hood, muscular haunches, and the available two-tone paint job give it a race-track-ready aesthetic despite its body style. The 2024 model can be had in seven color options including the striking Soul Red Crystal Metallic and Ingot Blue Metallic. Other colors include:
The CX-50 isn’t just a head-turner. It sits on 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels or the option 20-inch versions with black metallic and machine-cut finish. An 8.3 ground clearance and all-season tires give the SUV the capability to handle a little light off-roading. So, outdoor enthusiasts can load up the available bike racks or strap their gear to the roof racks and hit the trails. Other notable exterior features available include:
The five-seater interior of the CX-50 is equally impressive. Warm, earth-tone color schemes, like the terracotta leather trim, set the mood, while the symmetrically balanced seats make a relaxed driving posture easy to come by. An available panoramic sunroof and dual-zone climate control further enhance the cabin.
Cargo space in the CX-50 is on par with other vehicles in the segment, with 31.4 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats and a total of 56.3 cubic feet. A wide opening and a low load floor make loading up your camping gear or luggage breezy.
The CX-50 has two powertrain options:
Both engine options are married to a six-speed automatic transmission, and AWD is standard. Although the base engine offers plenty of zoom-zoom, if you really want to feel the thrill, the turbocharged engine is the way to go. It’s also a better option for towing with a max-tow rating of 3,500 lbs.
Connectivity is key in the CX-50. The standard 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system has wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility as well as a Wi-Fi hotspot. So streaming your tunes through the standard eight-speaker stereo doesn’t have to rely on your data plan. Other key features available throughout the lineup include:
The Mazda CX-50 has a long list of standard safety features powered by Mazda’s i-ACTIVSENSE® technology. A rearview camera, driver attention alert, blind-spot monitoring, forward collision warning, lane departure warning with lane keep assist, and adaptive cruise control are all standard, always giving you a trusted companion on the road.
