Efficiency and Performance

The 2025 CX-50 Hybrid is now armed with a Hybrid powertrain developed in collaboration with Toyota. This gas-electric setup features a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with three electric motors. The front axle is powered by the engine and two electric motors, while a third motor on the rear axle ensures efficient all-wheel drive. This setup not only boosts performance but also achieves an impressive EPA-estimated 38 mpg combined. The powertrain generates 219 horsepower, offering enough muscle for both city commuting and highway cruising. Additionally, the CX-50 Hybrid features tuned drive modes like Power and Trail, allowing drivers to tailor their driving experience to various conditions.

Distinctive Hybrid Design

Setting itself from its gas only brethren, the CX-50 Hybrid stands out with unique styling cues, including a redesigned lower front bumper and distinctive wheel designs. Inside, buyers can opt for a new red leather interior, exclusive to the hybrid variant.

Comprehensive Safety Enhancements

Safety remains a top priority for Mazda. The 2025 CX-50 lineup, including the hybrid model, comes with enhanced Mazda i-ACTIVSENSE safety features. New additions include an upgraded forward collision warning system that better detects pedestrians at night, vehicle exit warning, and even a rear-seat reminder alarm. These features join a suite of standard safety technologies such as blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, and rear cross-traffic alert.

Trim Levels and Features

Mazda offers the CX-50 Hybrid in three well-equipped trim levels:
  • Hybrid Preferred: This entry-level hybrid trim includes features like a 10.25-inch infotainment display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an 8-speaker audio system, and heated front seats. Unique 17-inch black-finished wheels and a power rear liftgate enhance its visual appeal and practicality.
  • Hybrid Premium: The Hybrid Premium adds luxury touches such as leather seating (available in black or red), a panoramic moonroof, and a 12-speaker Bose audio system. The exterior gets unique black roof rails and exhaust pipes, creating a commanding, premium look.
  • Hybrid Premium Plus: The top-tier hybrid trim features 19-inch wheels with an aerodynamic design, bright roof rails, and exhaust pipes. Inside, it offers ventilated front seats, available camel-stitching, an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink, and a full-color Active Driving Display projected onto the windshield.
With its advanced hybrid powertrain, comprehensive safety features, and luxurious options, the CX-50 Hybrid takes everything great about the previous year's CX-50 and simply does it better.
