Everything to Know About the 2023 Mazda CX-50
April 22 2022,
The newest model to join the Mazda fleet is the 2023 Mazda CX-50, a midsized two row crossover that benefits from the same attributes as other Mazda models.
The driving dynamics
The 2023 Mazda CX-50 follows the same philosophy as all of the other Mazda vehicles, which means that it is one of the most fun to drive vehicles in its segment due to its power and its agility on tight, twisty roads. The standard engine in the CX-50 is the 2.5L four-cylinder unit that produces 187 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque. If you want the most performance, you can have out of the CX-50, you can order a turbocharged version of this same engine that is capable of producing up to 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. These torque figures are higher than most of its competitors, even those powered by six-cylinder engines.
The ability to produce lots of power from a small and light engine gives the CX-50 better handling characteristics than what you might expect from a vehicle in this class. In addition, the standard i-Activ all-wheel drive system is engineered to enhance the performances on dry pavement with its torque vectoring function that sends power to the outside wheels in a turn, which forces the vehicle into a tighter axis and favors traction throughout.
The comfort and convenience features
The 2023 Mazda CX-50 is equipped with a host of technologies intended to make every drive more pleasant, such as the wireless Apple Car Play and Android Auto integrated into the 10.25-inch infotainment display. The heated front seats and steering wheel, as well as the programmable power liftgate are standard, as is the panoramic sunroof.
The GT model adds a number of features, like the heated rear seats, the surround view camera system, the Bose 12 speaker audio system, the traffic jam assist and the rear cross-traffic alert in order to make all of your journeys relaxing and entertaining.
