Power and Performance

You’ll have a choice between two engines when you shop for a 2026 Mazda CX-50 at our location. The SUV’s base engine is a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder powerplant that generates 187 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque. A turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine powers Mazda CX-50 Turbo models, and it delivers 227 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque with regular gas or 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque with premium fuel.

Both engines count on a six-speed automatic transmission for smooth, quick gear changes. An i-ACTIV AWD® system is standard with each powerplant, and it provides sure-footedness in changeable weather. The SUV’s selectable drive modes include Sport and Off-Road options that allow for on- and light off-road adventures.
