Consider the Mazda CX-50 2.5 S Preferred, which provides key upgrades like a programmable power liftgate, three-level heated front seating, and an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat.
For upholstery, you’ll have half-leatherette-trimmed seats. You’ll also appreciate the leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear selector. You’ll likely make great use of the dual front USB audio inputs and dual rear USB charging ports, as well.
For leather-trimmed seating surfaces, see the Mazda CX-50 2.5 S Premium trim. This edition of the new Mazda CX-50 takes features from the well-appointed Preferred trim and enhances the package with an array of exterior and interior upgrades.
A premium Bose® surround sound system with 12 speakers adds that rich, high-fidelity audio you crave in your new crossover.

Moving to the exterior, the 2023 Mazda CX-50 Premium is fitted with LED headlamps that light your way and dual exhaust outlets that give this crossover SUV an added dose of sporty style. A power sliding-glass panoramic moonroof lets in the sunlight and stars, nestled next to a roof-mounted shark fin antenna.
If you’re looking for even greater power from this new Mazda crossover SUV for sale, then turn to the 2.5 Turbo edition of the Mazda CX-50. It sports the automaker’s Skyactiv®-G 2.5 engine fitted with a twin-scroll turbocharger plus i-Stop technology. Mazda Intelligent Drive Select featuring a tow mode is also included.
