After a year behind the wheel of a 2023 Mazda CX-50, this is how well the new compact SUV held up. Would we recommend it?
, I understand that versatile lifted wagon's charm. But where the Subaru's design has become fussy, the Mazda's attractive sheetmetal hints at a trail-readiness more gracefully., but—surprise, surprise—it wouldn't be our first choice for tackling a tortured two-track. Despite the off-road mode and the work Mazda put into making the CX-50 capable, this one's more about the look than the capability.
To start, we appreciated the levers that easily fold down the rear seats from the cargo area. It's a convenience you don't find on every compact SUV. The CX-50's best practical perk, however, is the open spaces on both sides of the cargo area. Depressed a few inches below the rest of the cargo floor, they're perfect for groceries you don't want spilling or a small backpack you don't want bumping around as you explore the road ahead.
We can probably look beyond the CX-50's heavy steering weight—also not our favorite—but the ride quality made us uncomfortably familiar with the road imperfections, dips, potholes, and speed bumps in our neighborhood. After the excitement of a test drive wears off, having that as a trade-off for sporty responses won't be worth it for everyone.
