Read recent reviews for the Mazda CX-50
Good but not as good as my 2020 CX5
Brad in Houston, 11/21/2023
2024 Mazda CX-50 2.5 Turbo 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
Lots of rattles and squeaks. Brake pedal even squeaks and clunks when depressed. Off to dealer less than two months in... Fit and finish was better on my 3.5 year old CX5.
Mixed mileage is 21. Never get close to EPA even on highway.
Love the turbo power.
Overall solid car. would def not rate it #1 in category. Wifes 2023 CRV def has better quality fit and finish. better gas mileage … with similar on the line power. Cx5 is the better Mazda.
Id take a look at CX5 or CRV before buying this car. CX-50 overhyped. Im only 2 months --2300 miles in-- don't hate it. don't love it. Already have a service call. if they cant fix all the rattles I’ll probably dump it... not tight enough to justify the monthly payment.
The driver seat is the most uncomfortable seat I have ever sat in. Total miss from the cx5.
Love the leather —
Again I’d rate it top 5.. but number 3-4 in category at best —
UPDATE: I had reviewed at 2k miles but wanted to be fair so here is review at 10k miles.
The Bad :
Two trips to dealer for fit and finish - rattles - squeaks. third trip this Friday - they fix and its rattling and squeaking shortly thereafter.
MPG at 60/40 is 21.5. Even on a 15 hour all highway trip I'm only at 23.5. EPA is seriously overrated.
Seats are hard and uncomfortable and create fatigue at any trip over an hour or two.
The Good :
The turbo rocks. Love it.
Handling is good. Not as good as my old CX-5 but good. Its heavy but manageable.
The car inside and out is a head turner and beautiful. The terracotta leather is wearing well and is stunning.
Summary:
My wifes 2023 EX-L CRV with 15k miles has been to the dealer 0 times over 18 months for something other than an oil change. My CX-50 has been twice in half the time and half the miles, with no resolution and a third visit coming up. MPG is no where near advertised. Turbo is fun, drive is spirited and great for an SUV. CRV is alot better on a long trip with more comfortable seats. The CX50 is definitely sexier. but im lowering the stars from a 4 to a 3, because this car just isnt worth the hype and isnt near as livable day in and day out as the CRV. and they are the same price. The dealers cant fix the squeaks and rattles.
