From Your Mazda Dealership: A First Look at the 2024 Mazda CX-50

Engine and Transmission

Every CX-50 is powered by a 2.5L inline-4 featuring lightweight, yet durable aluminum construction, advanced direct injection, and fuel-saving cylinder deactivation, which switches from running four to two cylinders when the extra power isn’t needed. In its standard form, this motor produces a healthy 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque, but an available turbocharged version can boost performance to 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque.

Whether you choose the naturally aspirated or turbocharged model, it will come with the 6-speed Skyactiv-Drive automatic transmission and its manual shift mode. Standard G-Vectoring Control Plus technology makes subtle adjustments to torque delivery in order to improve handling. Fuel economy is admirable at up to 30 MPG highway.

Off-Road Performance

Mazda’s intelligent i-Activ AWD system continually monitors surface conditions and varies the balance of torque between both axles for maximum traction. The system is so quick that it can prevent wheel slip from happening, even on the toughest trails. A fully independent suspension setup with a MacPherson strut front suspension and torsion beam rear suspension enables the CX-50 to crawl over very uneven terrain with ease.

Passenger Cabin

Everything about the CX-50’s roomy interior is quality, from its generous use of soft-touch materials to the perfect fitment of every panel. Mazda’s designers even spent extra time making sure that the driver’s seat is perfectly aligned with the steering wheel and pedals, creating a feeling of oneness with the vehicle. The cabin boasts an interior volume of 129.7 cubic feet, and passengers seated in the rear will be able to enjoy 39.8 inches of legroom.

In addition to standard comforts like dual-zone climate control and plush leatherette trim, the CX-50 offers extra-luxurious amenities like terracotta-colored leather upholstery, heated and ventilated seats, and a power panoramic moonroof.

Infotainment System

A host of convenient apps, such as wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth hands-free calls can be accessed through the CX-50’s 10.25-inch infotainment display. Users can navigate and control the system’s features through the multi-functional Commander knob or simple voice commands. The available mobile Wi-Fi hotspot lets multiple devices connect to the internet while on the go.

Prefer to liven up road trips by blasting your favorite tunes? You’ll definitely want to opt for the powerful 12-speaker Bose surround sound system featuring AudioPilot noise compensation.

You’ll be hard pressed to find another compact SUV that can truly rival the CX-50 when it comes to providing this level of performance and style for an affordable price! Visit Bommarito Mazda South County today and experience it for yourself!
