The 2024 187hp base model has enough horsepower for a daily driver. 25 and 31mpg with conservative driving. 23 and 28 with aggressive driving. Drives like a sports coupe.
Thanks for your wonderful video. Appreciate it very much. The Mazda CX-50 GT Turbo 🇨🇦 (CX-50 Turbo Premium Plus 🇺🇸) is my third Mazda vehicle. I’m so happy and very satisfied with this SUV’s performance and driving dynamics.
Great and enthusiastic review Jason. Thanks ! I recently test drove and ordered a wind chill with terracotta interior CX50 GT Turbo. I am trading in my 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sport which I absolutely love. My favourite sedan to date. I just hope to enjoy the CX50 as much. I know it's a different animal, being a SUV.......however. Thanks again !
I bought a 2023 Mazda 3 Turbo Hatchback last week. It's such a nice car for me, the interior for the money is better than Acura and Audi for less money.
Excellent review thanks 😅. I come from BMW and Mercedes Benz and I love my cx50 turbo premium plus. I made a very special connection with the cx50 the moment I test drove it, went on to try the competition and came back to it from a W212 E class 😊. Some things annoy me in the firmware department and other things, but like you said, its a great daily driver 😊
Mazda is a very under rated brand. I own a 2014 Mazda 6 GT, I love my car, but considering this as mine gets older. Other than a few recalls it is a very high quality car. No problems at all. Does it come with remote start? Is the quality less than a car made in Japan as my last one was?
I took delivery of a CX50 back in October. It is not perfect, but I still love it. In 1997 I also owned a 94 MX6 v6 with standard transmision. It was a great little drivers car even though it needed more power. I would buy a new MX6 with the new inline 6 and improved performance all around. It would be great in my opinion!
Before I ordered my CX50 GT TURBO a few weeks ago, I had serious thoughts of waiting for the hybrid version to be released, for the better fuel economy of course. However, don't you sacrifice performance with a hybrid. So why are so many CX50 turbo reviewers so gung-ho for the hybrid when they are so impressed with CX50 turbo power ? Jason...............anybody ?
It depends. I test drove the plug-in hybrid CX-90 for a week and it was not great. Wouldn't recommend it. Regular hybrids though, like what Toyota is doing right now, are excellent as they add performance and efficiency. I think Mazda still has a ways to go before their hybrid options are compelling.
Thanks for the reply Jason. I am enjoying my white CX50 Premium Plus w/terracotta interior. That said, coming from my RWD Giulia I find it somewhat sluggish. However, I do need to remind myself that it is an AWD SUV.@@jasonbellcars
@@jasonbellcars Hi again Jason, I've been driving the CX50 GT Turbo for a year now and although I really like this vehicle, I do like to like to change it up often. That said, I've recently been thinking of trading for the Lexus NX350h for its hybrid system and great MPG. Have you had the chance to review this machine, and if so, what are your thoughts on how these two compare not withstanding the obvious being the MPG ? Really looking forward to your comments.
@@RogerSirard Thanks for reaching out! I have driven the NX 350 and the NX 450h+. Both are cool, although I think the 450h+ is way overpriced. Have you looked at the BMW X1? It's pretty awesome and gets great MPG. I'd also consider checking out the current Volvo lineup, like the XC60 Recharge. Super fast and great plug in range.
It's way more fun. It's debatable if it uses more gas. Overall, probably. Unless you have your foot in the naturally aspirated engine all the time. Personally, I'd go for the turbo. It's such an enjoyable engine!
Too large & blocky/clunky looking for my taste, with oversized, impractical wheels, so I went with a 2022 CX-30 Carbon Edition instead (which I had to black-out the front/side trim, roof rails, roof & section of lower hatch in order to make it palatable aesthetically for me with that thick black plastic cladding & bumper).
3:41 Do you sincerely recommend people spend $40,000+ on a car without even test driving it? There's a lot of bad car buying advice on the internet, but this is right up there with some of the most irresponsible.
Beautiful vehicle, but desperately needs a hybrid option Mazda keeps shoehorning themselves into features the market isn't looking for Standard AWD, and no hybrid along with limited cargo turns away a lot of buyers Most want storage and MPGs in this segment
This can do what most people would need for offroading easily, as most people won't ever actually off-road and it's a waste of money for what a lot of companies want.

Bought mine 2 weeks ago. Love it. I got the non turbo and it is still sporty and fun
How’s the gas mileage been?
It has the same rear torsion beam suspension as your previous CX-3
Wow, your kids really messed up the seat backs! 8:59
Funny. Most say it’s driving very firm and seats are rock hard Not to mention the stitching going up your caboose
Hmm. I thought they were great!
Great review. I had the same driving experience grin 😁. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!

Excellent choice! I really do think these are so good. The Giulia…what a beautiful sedan. Enjoy!!
I want those rims for my CX5!!!
Since we wont get the CX50 in Europe.... what a bummer. what an incredible car.
Idk if 20 inch wheels would fit on the CX 5
@@RealKevGotEm fairly sure they fit. Although its mostly after market what I saw.
Took delivery of our Soul Red Turbo Premium Plus 2 weeks ago and I sometimes debate whether to drive it or my C7 Corvette. It is that fun to drive!
I totally agree! Such a excellent car.

Remote start thru the app
fyi, the CX50 has a torsion beam suspension as well.
Yeah, I forgot that! Thank you. Regardless, it does feel so much better in here than in the 3 Turbo!

Terrific review and car. I wish Mazda made them in Right-hand Drive for my neck of the woods. It would suit me perfectly.
Thank you so much!

Btw, doesn't the RAV4 Hybrid only have 163 net torque compared to the 310 for the CX50 Turbo ?@@jasonbellcars

Why turbo? Doesn’t it use more gas?

It’s sad cause there’s not many of them being mad WHY!
There's a lot of them on the dealer lot near me!
My mom says the steering feels like it’s not power steering is it that bad?
It's heavy.
It is super heavy. Surprisingly so.
Too large & blocky/clunky looking for my taste, with oversized, impractical wheels, so I went with a 2022 CX-30 Carbon Edition instead (which I had to black-out the front/side trim, roof rails, roof & section of lower hatch in order to make it palatable aesthetically for me with that thick black plastic cladding & bumper).
I wonder if the plastic cladding can be wrapped cause I low key want to do that to match the paint color on the CX 50 when I get it

26mpg on TPP? hmm
Lol … and the Emmy goes to
Beautiful vehicle, but desperately needs a hybrid option

Standard AWD, and no hybrid along with limited cargo turns away a lot of buyers
Most want storage and MPGs in this segment
Yeah I would normally opt for FWD for economy, but the AWD does add something nice to the handling.
It has same torsion beam rear. It’s all in ur head
Gotcha. It definitely felt better than in my 3, though.
For 43k you can definitely buy better Japanese cx9 over usa cx50
If ? ? You want A 3 row suv !! CX 50 is a 2 row
It can't off-road
@@timothygibney159 Neither can this
