2024 Mazda CX-50 Reviews

Here are some of the 2024 Mazda CX-50 reviews from the most trusted experts:

  • Car and Driver: Mazda is quickly transitioning its lineup to SUVs, but the 2024 CX-50 is just proof that there’s still plenty of zoom-zoom left in the tank. This compact crossover sports a ruggedly handsome look and a near-luxury interior but doesn’t abandon the agile handling and fun-to-drive nature the brand is known for.
  • Edmunds.com: Mazda markets the CX-50 as ready for off-roading, touting its design, driving modes, standard all-wheel drive, and list of dealer-installed adventure-oriented accessories as proof. Also, ground clearance ranges between 8.3 and 8.6 inches, which is pretty generous for a small crossover, and the Meridian Edition includes standard all-terrain tires for improved grip. Still, you might wonder whether the CX-50 is an off-roader or a soft-roader best used on more gentle trails. Generally, we think it’s the latter — the CX-50’s bodywork isn’t really meant for serious clearance or protection — but in general, the CX-50 will get you a little farther into nature than many rival SUVs.
  • KBB.com:All-new last year, the CX-50 compact SUV plays off the slightly smaller CX-5 as a more capable trail rider for off-road adventuring. For example, the CX-50 provides 0.7 inches more ground clearance than the CX-5. As with every Mazda SUV, the CX-50 comes standard with all-wheel drive (AWD). Furthermore, the CX-5 delivers Mazda’s legendary sporty driving experience. Accurate steering, drama-free cornering, and better-than-average ride comfort conspire to make the CX-50 a hoot to pilot. We also appreciate the well-crafted, quiet cabin with more rear-seat legroom than rivals like the Ford Escape, Toyota RAV4, and Jeep Compass. Of course, the CX-50 is also easy on the eyes.
