The compact crossover segment thrives in the automotive realm, with Mazda making waves through its 2023 launch of the CX-50. In 2024, this model retains its reputation as a sporty vehicle, lauded for its agile handling, stunning aesthetics, and compelling value, complemented by some notable enhancements. Offered in eight trims, I had the opportunity to test the Premium S variant, an upscale model absent the turbo engine, yet still brimming with luxury. Mazda’s signature Soul Red Crystal Metallic exterior, paired with optional 20-inch alloy wheels and sleek contours, captivates. Inside, the sumptuous black leather seating enhances the Premium feel, with ventilation in front and heating in the rear. Advanced technologies, including a 10.25-inch display and Bose sound system, elevate the driving experience. Under the hood, the 2.5L SKYACTIV-G engine yields 187 horsepower, sufficient for light towing. Mazda's commitment to safety features, including lane departure warnings and radar cruise control, ensures peace of mind. With a starting MSRP of $39,470, the 2024 CX-50 2.5 S Premium Plus offers exceptional value for both daily commutes and longer rides.
