In this latest adventure, the lads from TheStraightPipes take on the 2025 Toyota Mazda CX50 hybrid, a fusion of American manufacturing and Japanese engineering. With a Toyota RAV4 hybrid heart beating under its Mazda-styled hood, this collaboration raises eyebrows and questions. Comparing it to Honda's less successful partnership with GM, the team delves into the intricacies of this hybrid marvel, pondering its performance and origins.

As they hit the road, the team experiences the CX50's unique all-wheel drive system, powered by an electric motor on the rear axle. They explore the car's fuel efficiency, clocking in at a respectable 6.2 L per 100 km, and discuss future plans for a plug-in hybrid version. The handling and ride quality are put to the test, revealing a mix of Mazda's sporty DNA and Toyota's reliability, all riding on Continental's recommended tires.

Inside the cabin, the team finds a mix of premium materials and questionable seat comfort likened to wearing a thong. The infotainment system impresses with its ease of use and advanced features like wired and wireless CarPlay. However, they discover some missing features in the US version, prompting a call to action for Mazda enthusiasts to demand more from the manufacturer. Despite some quirks and criticisms, the CX50 hybrid proves to be a fascinating blend of two automotive giants, offering a glimpse into the future of hybrid technology.
