In the world of SUVs, the 2024 Mazda CX50 stands out as a rebel with a cause. While its competitors like the Rav 4 and CRV may be soulless appliances, Mazda has injected life into the CX50 by prioritizing driving dynamics over comfort. The recent engineering changes aimed to address customer complaints about the vehicle's deficiencies, particularly in steering and suspension. Priced competitively starting at $30,000, the CX50 offers a range of features from a rotary dial infotainment system to a Bose audio setup, ensuring a comfortable and tech-savvy interior for drivers and passengers alike.
Under the hood, the CX50 boasts two powertrain options: a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine and a turbocharged variant, each delivering varying levels of horsepower and torque. The changes in suspension and damper style have enhanced the vehicle's ride quality, steering feel, and overall driving experience. Despite not being as spacious as some rivals like the Rav 4, the CX50 makes up for it with its dynamic performance and refined interior. However, concerns about the turbocharged engine's reliability linger, prompting long-term testing to assess its durability and performance over time.
In the realm of SUVs, the Mazda CX50 emerges as a spirited contender, challenging the status quo with its focus on driving engagement and handling prowess. While it may not offer the same fuel efficiency as hybrid models or the spaciousness of larger SUVs, the CX50 makes a compelling case for those seeking a balance between performance and practicality. With plans for extensive comparison tests and updates on its long-term reliability, the CX50 aims to carve its own path in a crowded market segment. Stay tuned as we put this rebel SUV to the test against its rivals and uncover whether it truly lives up to Mazda's reputation for driving excitement and innovation.
