What separates the Mazda CX-50 from the CX-5 besides a zero? MotorTrend has thoroughly driven both SUVs and found pros and cons on each.
can be wirelessly activated, but it's cord-only on the CX-5. After thousands of miles using the phone-mirroring feature on the large 10.3-inch screen, we've come to really appreciate the wireless option.
What if you want a power liftgate? In that case, the price difference shrinks to 10 bucks when comparing the 2023 CX-50 to the 2022 CX-5. Perhaps because the CX-5 has been around longer, you get more features with that 2.5 S Preferred trim besides a power liftgate. The 2022 CX-5 also adds leather seats and a power moonroof. The 2023 CX-50 uses Mazda's first panoramic dual-panel moonroof, but that gets added on the next trim up, the 2.5 S Preferred Plus.
The CX-5 has more passenger space inside, but neither feels cramped. Both SUVs have reasonably spacious rear seats that won't give the Honda CR-V a run for its money; thanks to those wide-opening rear doors, though, entry and exit are easier. We'd also note that the CX-5 feels like it has a slightly more commanding view of the road ahead.Mazda's premium aspirations come through loud and clear in the most loaded trims of the CX-5 and CX-50.
The CX-50 lacks that detail but does offer a new terracotta brown/orange seat color with black contrasting trim. It's not the traditional saddle brown color we see on some luxury cars, but it still works. On the CX-50 we have for a year, we paired that with a set of four $150 premium black floormats with a silver"CX-50" plate for the front row and contrasting trim to match the rest of the interior.
Where both SUVs could use an update to justify a $40,000-plus price tag on loaded models is their instrument clusters. Both have a partial digital instrument cluster with limited functionality that pales next to the best designs in the business. However, both SUVs do something better than many other cars and SUVs do at any price—they break up the dashboard design in an almost relaxing way.
