  • MotoMan spends an extended period of time with the @MazdaUSA & @toyotausa collaboration that is the Mazda CX50. After driving it around town, running a few tanks of gas through it and digging through the reliability records of the Mazda CX-50, he learns the Mazda CX-50 - which is built in the same plant as the @TOYOTAglobal #corollacross - is more Toyota than Mazda but there is a huge catch.

    This is wrong.. the CX50 is built at the Mazda Toyota plant which is a joint venture between the two companies, but just in terms of reducing risk and capital expenses.
    The CX50 uses Mazda chassis, powertrain, design and components.
    This car is definitely NOT a reskinned Corolla Cross. Same factory but totally different production lines and components. Shocking error for Motoman to make

      My apologies . . . totally see the confusion I have caused in this episode. The goal was to hit the manufacturing JV hard - probably too hard - with an eye towards answering the question of reliability of a car with a badge that is not Toyota. My bad in trying to tie how similar they are in market position and execution.

Unless every other source I’ve seen is wrong, it is not, and is instead on the Mazda 3 / CX-30 platform. You said “this is not a Mazda” and while referring to the Corolla Cross, said that “they’re the same vehicle.” There was nothing in your video that made it sound like you were only comparing the manufacturing.

    The only thing the CX-50 shares with the Corolla Cross is the financing company if you go through the dealer (Mazda finances through Toyota Motor Credit).

    My problem with the Mazda torsion beam rear suspension on the Mazda 3, CX-30, and CX-50 is the "kick in the back" that happens when they go over speed bumps. I would chose the CX-5 over the CX-50 because the CX-5's independent rear suspension doesn't beat up my back like the torsion beam suspension does. I'm a person with a chronic back problem, so the torsion beam "jolt to the back" is a deal breaker.

    For the price point, you need to look at the totality of what sets it apart. More spirited driving setup (if you like that thing), better interior touches that are definitely more premium, turbo motor, better paint, etc. Still $45k is a lot of money. But, with where cars are priced at nowadays, this seems to be right where it should be based on the market. Higher priced than a Nissan/Toyota but less than a comparable Audi/Mercedes.

    It'll be interesting to see how the CX-5 evolves or if it goes away. I'm on my second leased CX-5 Signature turbo and love it. I disagree with MotoMan that the CX-70 will be a replacement for the CX-5. Mazda has said the CX-70 will be the same car as the CX-90 minus the third row. That means the CX-70 will be bigger than the CX-50, never mind the CX-5. I was hoping the CX-70 would be more akin to the European Mazda CX-60, but that seems not to be. I'd like to stay with Mazda in the future and the CX-5 Signature is perfect for me, I hope it sticks around and merely gets improvements instead of being discontinued.

    Funny... I have a vanilla 2023 CX-50 Turbo and paid $37K. It's a good transportation "appliance", with surprisingly good handling & acceleration. My other vehicle is a 2017 Chevy Colorado with 105K miles, so the steering difference between the two is night-and-day (maybe, obviously). The CX-50 seems to be a bit darty on the highway, but drives like a Mazda on windy roads. With the rear seats folded I can put my (58cm) bicycle in the back with both wheels on and still have room for bags, shoes, helmet, etc.. With 16K miles on it, it gets about 26mpg on the highway, and runs very well on either regular or premium - although, the performance difference between the two grades of fuel is noticeable. It's taken me on two long trips of 500+ miles each way, and I find it acceptably comfortable - so long as I'm not on a concrete roadway with robust expansion joints. I bought this as an interim/temporary vehicle, but I just may keep it for a while. BTW... ZERO problems (knock on wood) with my Colorado... Did I just jinx myself?

    The Mazda is cool, very handsome I might add. But the pricing is a bit steep. 30k would get you a mid-level Ford Territory or a Nissan Xtrail in my part of the world, both are the best sellers of their brands. We don't get the CX50 here anyway, Which is a damn shame.

    We drove one of these for a week while the CX9 was getting diagnosed with a power loss problem. This is big and cheap, but it ain't no CX5. It was noisy, a bit slow and the seats were odd. It's not bad, but it's just not worth the asking price, even in base trim. I like Mazda the brand, but they need to address reliability issues. No way are we keeping the CX9 past the lease end.

    You would buy the Toyota Corolla Cross hybrid for much better gas mileage, the Mazda CX-30 for a lower price, the CX-5 for a slightly lower price, the CX-50 for its firmer steering feel, or the Maverick for a truck bed. Or the Hyundai Santa Cruz truck for more money, just do not get the top trim with an unreliable dual clutch transmission. The Honda hybrids are another good choice for how they drive, the Civic, Accord, and CR-V; however they are too new to know anything about reliability now.

    Mazda has come a long way in the last decade & builds better ICE vehicles than either Toyota or Honda these days IMO. Also, the CX-50 is pure Mazda & a derivative variant of the CX-30 platform, NOT the Corolla Cross or any other Toyota. Future Mazda hybrids, however, will be using Toyota hybrid technologies/systems & such, since they are in a close partnership with each other.

    Hmmm...kinda scratching my head with this assessment. I just ordered a 2024 Mazda CX-50 Turbo PremiumPlus (Zircon sand and terracotta interior). After test driving the CX-50 twice, Toyota, and a BMW...my thinking this CX-50 at $45K has much more "bang for the buck" and looks better. If you want to save some $, opt for the lower trim level. If you wanna go all out like I am...this CX-50 is like a fancy Swiss Army Knife slicing through the alps with plenty of torque and "zoom-zoom" driving dynamics.

    These two most definitely don't share a platform. Economy of scale production makes sense in this case because the CX-50 is for North America only and still a relative rarity on the road. By styling it to accommodate mild off road use they cheapened the interior and made it blander looking than current Mazdas. Fifty lashes with a wet noodle for the author.

    I had a 2016 CX-5 GT. Wonderful SUV. Didn't fit rear facing car seats with my wife & I's height... plus, I prefer cars, so I landed back in an Accord Hybrid. In the past year, to replace an older Accord (wife's car) I test drove a couple CX-5s and three CX-50s... I still liked both and I do agree, it seems the extra wheelbase helped the CX-50's ride a tad.
    BUT...
    Having a family and looking for space... My Accord's trunk seemed to have more cargo space if you don't count the area above the seatback in the CX-50. :sadface:
    For a similar price point, we purchased an Odyssey EX-L. Loads more space, drives reasonably well, and similar fuel economy figures from an 3.5L V6 with 10-speed auto. Yes, I'll confess that Mazda's 6-speed is a better box than Honda's 10-speed (if you have to have a slushbox, and either vehicle - you do) and the Mazda handles better...But if the primary objective is family hauling, the minivan is hard to beat for the money.
    Full disclosure - never try to make one vehicle do it all. I've got a garage of three. Miata for fun, Accord Hybrid for daily driver/fuel economy (and still fairly fun), and the Odyssey for Family/Stuff hauling and comfort. Each does it's intended purpose excellent and doesn't try to be all the things at the same time.

No. However, what I do is present all sides of the vehicle as I see it. Some appreciate that. Some don't.
