The 2026 MAZDA CX-50 Boasts New Styling Cues and Revised Engine Options
If you want a compact SUV that intertwines a rugged edge with sophisticated performance and technology, nothing beats the 2026 Mazda CX-50. This is especially true this year, with newly available exterior badging, a new cabin color scheme to consider, and an additional engine option for the Mazda CX-50 Meridian Edition. Take it all in at Colonial Mazda.
Performance
Our Danbury, CT Mazda dealers will introduce you to this SUV's diverse lineup and two available engines. Most trims pair a six-speed automatic transmission with a Skyactiv-G® 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that achieves 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. The top-line trims, dubbed "Turbo", upgrade to a turbocharged version of the Skyactiv-G® that achieves 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque.
For the first time ever, the Mazda CX-50 Meridian Edition can now be equipped with either engine.
A key differentiator between the 2026 Mazda CX-50 and most other Mazda models is its increased off-road capability. Not only do all trims come standard with i-Activ< AWD®, but they also come with Mazda Intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) and two drive modes: Sport and Off-Road. The 2026 Mazda CX-50 Meridian Edition goes even further, equipping all-terrain tires and a Towing mode.
Towing and Cargo
The 2026 Mazda CX-50 can tow up to 3,500 lbs. This robust number is complemented by a roomy, versatile cabin that's ideal for all kinds of cargo. With the rear seat folded down, there's 56.3 cubic ft of space to fill - or 31.4 cubic ft with the rear seat up. Also, the cargo floor of this Mazda SUV for sale is deeper than it is wide, making it particularly effective for lengthwise packing of coolers and gear.
Safety
With the support of the i-Activsense® safety suite, Mazda buyers feel completely at ease on the road. Standard on all trims, this high-tech package includes Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane-Departure Mitigation. High-end trims complement i-Activsense® with advanced tech features such as a full-color Active Driving Display and Self-Leveling Adaptive Headlights.
