The all-new 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid takes the popular Mazda CX-50 compact crossover SUV to a new efficiency level with a superb hybrid powertrain. Drivers in Stanleytown, Danville, Rocky Mount, and Greensboro can enjoy the Mazda CX-50’s style and versatility, knowing they’re not going to become overly familiar with their local gas station. If you’re shopping for a compact SUV where the only thing lacking is big running costs, the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid is a great option.
The 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid is available in Preferred, Premium, and Premium Plus trim levels. The Preferred trim is a stylish, modern, mildly rugged SUV with 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels, LED headlights, and body-colored side mirrors. The mid-range Premium trim steps things up a level with a power-sliding panoramic moonroof with an interior sunshade and larger 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels. The top-of-the-line Premium Plus version of the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid adopts a meaner aesthetic with 20-inch black metallic alloy wheels, gloss black roof rails, and an adaptive front-lighting system that ensures clear visibility in the dark on the most winding and challenging roads.
The 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid is where the most interest inevitably lies, and rightly so. The Mazda CX-50 Hybrid features a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine paired with a 4.59 kWh battery and a permanent magnet electric motor that helps to deliver a combined output of 219 horsepower. This hybrid system is matched with an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (e-CVT) designed for smooth and efficient power delivery. Mazda’s i-Activ all-wheel-drive system is standard across the range, making the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid a versatile vehicle that can handle various surfaces and weather conditions. The Mazda CX-50 Hybrid inevitably comes with impressive estimated fuel economy ratings of 39 mpg in the city, 37 mpg on the highway, and 38 mpg combined, making it a practical choice for daily commutes and extended journeys. Regenerative braking technology captures energy during deceleration, which is stored in the battery to improve overall efficiency, providing an eco-friendly option for drivers who want performance and sustainability.
Mazda always creates interiors, and the 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid lives up to that reputation. The style is clean, smart, and high-quality, and this is a model that five people can ride in comfortably. Even the base model has standard half-leatherette-trimmed seats, heated front seats, and an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat. The standard infotainment system also impresses with its 10.25-inch display, Alexa Built-in, wireless charging, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. The Premium trim upgrades the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid to leather upholstery and a 12-speaker Bose surround sound system with Centerpoint and AudioPilot. The GT trim has even more advanced technology onboard, including what Mazda calls a “Windshield-projected Active Driving Display,” which the rest of us would probably call a head-up display.
A hybrid makes a lot of sense on many levels, and the 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid makes more sense than most. The stunning interior and exterior styling alone are enough to attract potential buyers, but the standard spec and the magnificently efficient hybrid powertrain surely seal the deal.
