2024 Mazda CX-50, 2.5 S Premium trim, automatic, AWD, 192 hp. Bought new this year after a long search, ultimately the looks and interior sold me. Inside, everything is well put together, no rattles, quality materials. I drive both city and highway – it behaves calmly yet confidently, steering is responsive, suspension firm but comfortable. Holds its line well on the highway, stable in corners with minimal roll. Fuel economy around 10L if driven moderately. Front seats are comfortable and spacious, rear fits three adults but can be tight on long trips. Multimedia is a weak point: CarPlay works but sometimes freezes over USB. Cameras are small, not much help at night, factory audio is mediocre – I added an extra system. Trunk space is good but power tailgate with foot sensor can be finicky. Serviced at the dealer, no major issues so far. Parts are pricey, especially OEM. Warranty update improved multimedia slightly but freezes persist. Overall happy – stylish, good handling, reasonably spacious, with manageable flaws in electronics and maintenance.
