Special thanks to our Patrons for their support of the channel! Cx50 or CX5?
This may seem like a small detail to some, a step back to others, but I LOVE the fact Mazda resisted the urge all other car manufacturers seem to have with making the instrument cluster and infotainment nothing but flat screens. Sure that may be the "modern" thing, but I vastly prefer the separate hooded instrument binnacle...regardless if it's analog or digital. Mazda is just all around catering to my personal tastes these days...and a big reason why my daily is a 2021 Mazda 3 turbo hatch.😉
Saw this car in soul crystal red in person it was glorious
I bought it in Soul Red. I LOVE it!
You have to get OEM Hitch and Harness from Mazda to have Towing mode. When plugged to a trailer, Towing mode will replace Sport mode.
Just bought a 2024 Premium in Polymetal, didn’t care for the ride in the premium plus and the 20’s seem to be a little louder on the road. Mazda should make the wheels an option if someone would rather the 18’s on a higher trim. I know I can just buy aftermarket ones, but that makes thing more expensive
the cx50 honestly looks so so good.
can you compare this car to the Suburu Outback Limited
Can do you turn the radio OFF without losing the Mazda Connect screen? And does your audio still never really turn off? This is a weird thing about the CX-5.
How is the highway Road noise for passengers in rear seats in Mazda CX50 GT Non-Turbo in Canada, and in USA called CX50 Premium Plus Non-Turbo? How noise compares to Honda CRV Hybrid 2024?
wait 11:55 mine never applied automatically parking brakes..
If I remember properly, the towing mode engages automatically when you plug in the trailer plug for example.
Sounds great!
Wife just got a premium plus NA. It’s never going to be an off road vehicle…never was. Don’t know why people think that. Also don’t care about turbo. Who buys a crossover for speed? Lol
We love the thing. CX-5 looks and feels like it’s about 7 years outdated
I saw this test driven by BRIAN Manske (pro race driver) and he said it's PERFECT for drivers...and also very good in snow- which is what I need.. I'll take HIS word over most reviewers beause he knows HOW to drive one correctly..they way they're designed to be driven.. (not knocking regular reviewers- that real info is important).. the only debate I have - is whether to get the turbo or to get regular naturally aspirated one- and install a SUPERCHARGER (about the same cost to install- but MUCH cheaper to fix if ever needed- and MUCH better for the engine and driving).
Does it read the speed limit signs? Or is it in the navigation system?
It’s in the nav, it doesn’t read signs. You need the Mazda nav card
Killer color combo! That interior is beautiful in that color. Incredible looks, and design. What kills it for me is the torsion beam rear. It’s so Un-Mazda. I also wish they would slim down the wheel arch cladding by at least 50 percent. I’m crossing my fingers for a Turbo Hybrid. ✌️
in Europe there is CX60 R6 (254km) diesel ! the car consumes an average of 5.5 liters per 100 km 👍
a hybrid in such a system is unnecessary ballast...
I have the same setup in my Mazda 3 turbo hatch and can honestly say you rarely notice it. The only time I'm reminded it's not independent rear is like going over a speed bump in a parking lot, or driving on one of those awful stretches of concrete pavement with expansion joints...but those aren't pleasant in any car. Other than that the handling is great, the lack of multi-link rear isn't noticed.
I think I may get this for my son. I'm wondering if the seat design is a problem with that strip in the center. Looks like a nice car 🚗
Owned one for 5 months now you don't notice it at all
I’m condisering to get the Cx 50
you can change the feature to unlock all doors with driver in the settings 🤦🏻
That’s just to unlock before you go in the door for the first time but once you park your car turn it off and try to open the rear it will be locked regardless of the settings
@@joseamaya1178 there is a setting that you can change so when you put the car into park all the doors will unlock
The wireless charger will not charge my iPhone when it’s in a standard wireless charger protector. Do you have a protector recommendation?
I use the smartish MagSafe case and it works for me
Debating on the cx 5 or 50! I like both, but I was surprised to see the headroom and storage in the back are shorter and smaller in the 50 compared to the 5!! Some things to think about!!!
50! It’s more luxurious
@@JakeBayCity Got it and thanks!!!
My only complaint is it does not have lane assist like my old Honda Civic or other competitors. The lane assist works OK under 65KPH with good lanes. It is a nice change from Honda. It is a nice ride which is what sold me. The fuel endurance is an acceptable cost for what you get. I estimated it costs $20 more to fill up than my ultra efficient Honda civic in CAD and I get roughly the same milage from the given tank. It is completely worth it and I would never get a hybrid or EV again. They are complete gimmicks and do not work. The Sicon dessert color was the best too! Best care we have owned so far out of all of them:)
You can set it to unlock all doors in the infotainment system
What color is this one?
Polymetal Grey, around $500 option.
Was fully expecting a list of the "18 things" I should know. Was I supposed to keep reviewing your video to find them myself? Maybe the title should have been "18 Things You Should Know - You Itemize Them Yourself" !!!
I think you’re ok, keith
for its engine size its still cheaper than other comparable engines like if you upgrade the escape to a 2.5 you gottta get a hybrid and it jacks the price up over 40K
The only positive thing here is that you are not alone comparing the CX-50 to the CX-5. But you are just as wrong, doing that. The CX-50, has nothing, whatsoever, to do with the CX-5, except it has a 5 in the model name. Why do so many car reviewers keep making this mistake? The CX-50 is the CX-30's big brother and the CX-30 is the Mazda 3's big brother. All three are of the same family - same Mazda 3 platform, same torsion-beam rear suspension. The CX-5 has no other family members - it stands alone. CX-70, CX-90 and CX-9 are all of the same family as they are all built on the CX-9 chassis. How can otherwise seemingly knowledgeable 'car guys and girls' keep getting this wrong?
I agree, but many people would look at the cx5 vs cx50 when buying one of the two
Aint nutn rugged about it
Rugged means more plastics.
I have the CX-50 and the wireless charger does not work, went to dealership told me ya they’re having problems with the 50 and the 90 so guess I’m not using that!!!!!
It works but it has compatibility issues with the NFC technology on a lot of phones, not all, but still considerable. Consider turning off the NFC, which should be a click on your quick settings.
Just test drove the NA premium trim. I love the look of cx-50 way more than the 5 or its competition, but was very underwhelmed by the ride quality and harshness of the seats. I was getting uncomfortable just after a short test drive. Maybe the leather seats in the upper trims are better. The handling also didn’t feel as good as what I’d expect from Mazda. Despite getting a good OTD price i walked away. CX-50 nails it for looks, but falls short on comfort, ride quality, and tech.
That's why cx5 is way better
I must have diff seats cuz mine feel just fine. Been on multiple 5 hour rides and felt good. The look is far better than CX-5 to me and the overall drive quality is good. I got the premium
@@yournightmare9999 I'm not sure how 2 vehicles that are essentially mechanically identical could have one be 'way better'. Looks are obviously subjective but IMO the CX-50 is much nicer. The CX-5 looks like the generic egg that most SUV's look like these days and its getting very dated. The CX-5 rides slightly better and is slightly quieter due to the IRS and quieter glass. If you get the 18' wheel pkg on the CX-50 the ride difference between the two is barely noticeable and the change in steering/suspension tuning/damping for the 2024 CX-50's makes the difference very small even with the larger wheels. The trade off for the slightly lesser ride quality with the CX-50 is an extra 1500Lbs in towing capacity from the torsion beam rear suspension and an extra inch of ground clearance which may or may not make a difference depending how you use your vehicle. Obviously neither is made for serious towing or off roading. These are both very good vehicles. I personally prefer the CX-50 based mostly on looks and the fact that the CX-5 seems very narrow when you sit in it but hard to go wrong with either as I think both seem nicer in terms of design and material quality compared to other SUV's in the price/size range. Good chance the resale value of the current CX-5 will be less than the CX-50 due to its age and even more so when the new gen CX-5 is released but I bet there will be some deals to be had on leftover current gen CX-5's once the new version is released.
Interesting I find the seats in my 2024 Premium very comfortable .
Odd. Test drove the 5 and 50 a couple times each and found the 50 more comfortable.

U can set the doors to unlock from the settings in the nav screen. Check the settings or read the manual before you post a video man. And if your bottle scaffs the heat bottom, buy another bottle. God all mighty!!! It's not Quantum Physics.
Love the Look and as we know, Mazda drives great
Towing mode is off Road mode. You get better Steering response on Turbo Mode.
Something about the proportions/styling looks off from various angles. Certain styling/materials decisions also give it somewhat of a budget look.
I love using touch with Android Auto. That's how it's designed to be used.
Mazda likes to make touch difficult... So they've lost me.
That interior color is horrible....looks like a basketball
