Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of gas does the 2025 Mazda CX-50 require?

Good news—the standard gasoline engines utilize regular unleaded fuel, keeping your running costs sensible. This applies to the 187 hp setup found in most of the ten available trims.

How much stuff can I fit behind the second row in the CX-50?

The 2025 Mazda CX-50 provides 31.4 cubic feet of storage space behind the rear seats. That’s plenty of room for a substantial haul of supplies for a weekend getaway.

Are there performance differences between the standard and hybrid versions?

While the standard gas engine provides 185 lb-ft of torque, the Hybrid versions utilize a CVT transmission instead of the 6-speed automatic found on the non-hybrid models, likely offering a smoother acceleration profile.

Is the All-Wheel Drive system optional on the 2025 Mazda CX-50?

No, that’s a major benefit: All ten trims of the 2025 Mazda CX-50, ranging from the 2.5 S Select up to the Premium versions, come equipped standard with All-Wheel Drive.
