What To Expect
The current generation of the Mazda CX-50 was introduced in 2023 as an all-new vehicle, but Mazda updated the compact SUV in 2024 with a revised lineup and updated steering. For the 2025 model year, the CX-50 arrives with updated safety features, while a new hybrid model has been added to the lineup. Here’s what we know about the 2025 Mazda CX-50 and the 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid.
The 2025 Mazda CX-50 will continue to have the same exterior design as the current model that’s on sale. The compact SUV has a premium exterior design with slim headlights, an oval grille, and a rounded body. Compared to Mazda’s other SUVs, the CX-50 has a more rugged look with widened fenders, robust body cladding, large vents, and dual exhaust outlets. Mazda claims that the new CX-50 Hybrid has unique wheel designs and a special lower front bumper, but the overall design of the electrified model remains close to the gas-powered model.
The interior design of the 2025 Mazda CX-50 won’t change for the new model year. The current compact SUV features a premium interior design with upscale materials, great fit and finish, and elegant lines. Chunky air vents and a tiered dashboard match the CX-50’s rugged exterior look, while a sleek three-pronged steering wheel and simple dials are sportier touches on the SUV.
Mazda hasn’t announced all of the 2025 Mazda CX-50’s standard features yet, but we don’t expect to see any major changes. The SUV will be available with a 10.25-inch display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, eight audio speakers, four USB ports, a Wi-Fi hot spot, a wireless charging pad, satellite radio, navigation, and an HD Radio.
2025 Mazda CX-50 Engine & Specs
The largest change for the 2025 Mazda CX-50 is the introduction of a new hybrid powertrain.

A turbocharged version of the engine is available and is rated at 256 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive is standard.
