Very stylish and smooth ride

I can’t recommend this SUV enough. I have the premium plus trim and the interior is beautiful. The seats are very stylish and comfortable. The Bose sound system sounds so clear and has a lot of depth. The SUV itself drives incredibly smooth and the AWD comes in handy. I love it! Very good investment.

Exterior is stunning, interior is lacking

I test drove both turbo and non-turbo models. The turbo model was the best option for my needs. I did find the exterior stunning and had me reconsidering after dismissing the Mazda brand after my CX-5 experience. The cargo area has an advantage over the 2023 CRV -- it folds flat for cargo and possible a night inside when camping in the rain. I did find the interior (e.g. door panels, instruments, console, dashboard, etc.) very cheap with black plastic and white lettering. For this money, it should rival an Infinity QX-50 interior with soft, plush, and styling features. I will continue my search with Toyota RAV4 and Acura RDX up next.

I love the Polymetal Gray color! The handling is great and the pickup is very quick.

I did a tons of research and did over half dozen test drive on several other vehicles (Subaru, Lexus, Acura, KIA, Hyundai, Honda, Nissan) and finally decided on the CX50.
