2025 Mazda CX-50 SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2025 Mazda CX-50 is a compact crossover SUV with five-passenger seating. It comes in 10 trim levels: Select, Preferred, Premium, Premium Plus, Hybrid Preferred, Hybrid Premium, Hybrid Premium Plus, Turbo Meridian, Turbo Premium and Turbo Premium Plus. The CX-50 Select, Preferred, Premium and Premium Plus have a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (187 horsepower, 185 lb-ft of torque), while the CX-50 Hybrid variants use a 2.5-liter four-cylinder matched to three electric motors (219 hp combined). The upper three Turbo trims use a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder. It makes 227 hp and 310 lb-ft on regular gas and 256 hp and 320 lb-ft on 93 octane premium fuel. All gas-only CX-50s have a six-speed automatic transmission, and the CX-50 Hybrid uses a continuously variable automatic (or CVT). All-wheel drive is standard across the board. Keep reading for a breakdown of the significant standard and optional features you get with each trim level.
Which CX-50 trim does Edmunds recommend?
Mazda offers the CX-50 in a bewildering array of 10 trim levels, four with a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder, three with a four-cylinder hybrid, and three with a turbocharged engine. The new hybrid certainly wins in terms of fuel economy. Still, the turbocharged motor is a peach, and each Turbo trim includes slightly more standard equipment than the equivalent non-turbocharged model. We recommend the Turbo Meridian trim, which includes leather upholstery, heated front seats and a panoramic sunroof. These complement the CX-50's high-class style while leaving some money in the bank.
