Used 2023 Mazda CX-50 SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2023 Mazda CX-50 is a small SUV with seating for five. It's offered in 10 trim levels: S, Select, Preferred, Preferred Plus, Premium, Premium Plus, Turbo, Turbo Meridian, Turbo Premium and Turbo Premium Plus. The base engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (187 horsepower, 186 lb-ft of torque) that is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The CX-50 Turbo models have a turbocharged engine that's good for 256 hp and 320 lb-ft on 93 octane fuel. Using lower octane fuels is permitted but will reduce power slightly. All-wheel-drive is standard on all CX-50 models. Other feature highlights for the CX-50 include:
Which CX-50 trim does Edmunds recommend?
Strong overall performance is one of the Mazda CX-50's greatest attributes and it's best enjoyed with the potent turbocharged engine. The Turbo trim is the least expensive model with that engine and strikes a good balance between price and features. More conservative drivers likely won't need that power, so we'd recommend the Preferred trim for them.
