If you’re looking for a new compact SUV, get an up-close look at the 2024 Mazda CX-5 and the Mazda CX-50 when you visit Scott Mazda. While these vehicles are similar in many ways, and both are impressive in their own right, understanding their significant differences will help you make an informed buying or leasing decision.
Design Elements
The Mazda CX-5 is the older sibling, incorporating the design elements of a classic SUV and many premium touches that are signatures of the Mazda brand. For those seeking a stylish and comfortable ride for daily commutes, it’s the ideal car model.
The 2024 Mazda CX-50 still feels luxurious, but it’s engineered for adventurous off-roading. Although both SUVs share the same powertrains and standard i-ACTIV AWD®, for instance, the Mazda CX-50 boasts a higher towing capacity (3,500 lb, versus 2,000 for the Mazda CX-5) and specialized Mi-Drive™ modes for towing and off-roading.
Cargo Space
The Mazda CX-5 and Mazda CX-50 can fit five passengers, but the Mazda CX-5 has more cabin space, totaling 103.6 cubic feet (up to 59.3 cubic feet of which can be used for cargo) compared to 100.3 and 56.3 cubic feet in the Mazda CX-50.
The Mazda CX-5 has a rear seatback that can fold down and recline with a single touch. The seatback is split into a 40/20/40 configuration. The Mazda CX-50 has a rear seatback with a 60/40 split configuration, which is helpful but not quite as versatile.
