What sets the 2023 Mazda CX-50 apart from other Mazda SUVs in Canada?
The 2023 Mazda CX-50 is a recent addition to the Mazda lineup in Canada, positioned above the CX-5 in terms of character and off-road capability while sharing the same platform. The CX-50 distinguishes itself with a more rugged styling featuring 213 mm of ground clearance, flared wheel arches and an off-road driving mode with hill descent control. It is exclusively offered with standard i-Activ AWD. Canadian trims range from the GX (approximately $31,900) to the Turbo Premium Plus (approximately $48,500). The base engine is the Skyactiv-G 2.5L producing 187 hp; the Turbo version receives the 2.5L Turbo producing 256 hp. The cabin accommodates five passengers with an 793-litre cargo area, larger than the CX-5. For Canadian outdoor enthusiasts who want a more adventure-oriented vehicle than the standard CX-5 while retaining Mazda refinement, the CX-50 is a credible alternative.
