When it comes to luxury SUVs, Mazda tops the list, and it’s easy to see why. With a sleek exterior design, high-end interior, and a capable, fuel-efficient performance, you can’t go wrong with a Mazda SUV. The Mazda CX-50 is one of the brand’s most popular compact crossover SUVs, and Mazda has now introduced the 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid to its lineup. It has a starting price of $33,970 MSRP and is available in three trim levels. If you think that a hybrid SUV is the best option for your next vehicle purchase, learn more about the performance, interior, and safety features to help you decide which Mazda CX-50 Hybrid is the best fit for you.
This Mazda SUV is a full-hybrid vehicle (HEV). The 2.5-liter four-cylinder gas engine combines with three electric motors to power the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid. The HEV battery back provides electric power, and it’s charged through regenerative braking and the gasoline engine. The powertrain is paired with a new electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (e-CVT) that provides the same level of responsiveness as a traditional automatic transmission.
The 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid delivers up to 219 horsepower and gets an EPA-estimated 39 mpg/city, 37 mpg/highway, and 38 mpg/combined. The 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid towing capacity is 1,500 pounds.
This hybrid SUV features an electronic all-wheel drive (e-AWD) system. It uses the electric motors to drive the front and rear wheels independently. The rear motor provides power directly to the rear wheels when front-wheel traction is limited.
With Mazda Intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive), you can choose between power and trail modes. Power mode boosts acceleration response when needed, and trail mode optimizes the traction delivered by the electric motors for easier driving on even road conditions.
This hybrid SUV seats up to five passengers comfortably across two rows. The base trim features half leatherette-trimmed seats while the two higher trims add a luxurious touch with leather-trimmed seats. All three trims feature a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Heated front seats with three-level adjustment are standard across all trims for extra comfort when the weather gets cold. The panoramic moonroof on the two higher trims provides more natural daylight (or moonlight at night) to enhance your drive.
There’s plenty of space for everything from work and school bags to sports equipment, luggage, and more. The cargo area provides 29.2 cubic feet of space behind the second row. For additional storage, there’s 56.3 cubic feet behind the first row. The rear power liftgate with programmable height adjustment makes accessing the trunk space easy.
This luxury SUV keeps you and your passengers connected and entertained. All 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid trim levels feature standard Alexa Built-in as well as Bluetooth connectivity, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the Mazda Connect™ infotainment system with a 10.25-inch full-color display. The CX-50 Hybrid also comes with a 1-year trial of Mazda Connected Services, which provides access to remote engine start, vehicle status, and roadside assistance.
Not only is this hybrid SUV fun to drive, but it’s safe as well. It features the i-Activsense® suite of safety features that boost your awareness and protect you and your passengers. Some of the standard vehicle safety features include:
