Is Mazda's first hybrid #crossover a good buy over the #rav4hybrid and #crvhybrid models?
All-new CX-50 Hybrid bolsters Mazda's electrified line-up in North America
Mazda CX-50 Hybrid returns an EPA estimated 38 mpg combined, allowing drivers to go further
CX-50 Turbo line-up receives more robust list of standard equipment
All CX-50 models receive enhancements to Mazda i-ACTIVSENSE safety features and driver assistance technology
2025 is an exciting year for CX-50 with the introduction of CX-50 Hybrid, which broadens the compact crossover's appeal to a wider audience in the compact crossover (C-CUV) segment by combining Mazda's design and driving dynamics with greater fuel efficiency and the ability to go further and engage with outdoor activities.
Electrification comes in different forms, and Mazda offers a variety of choices to best suit customer needs. Returning an EPA estimated 38 mpg combined, CX-50 Hybrid offers over 100 miles of extra driving range compared to CX-50 2.5 S models based on the same calculation methodology as fueleconomy.gov.
The 2025 CX-50 is available in ten packages across three capable, confidence-inspiring powertrain choices with standard all-wheel drive (AWD), allowing customers to find the right CX-50 model for them, and for the adventures that lie ahead.

Toyota Hybrid Sytem + Mazda interior & safety = that's the best of two worlds ❤️😍🤤
Kirk, Toyota cannot keep up with demand for components for their own Hybrids, how can they be supplying components for other automakers? 🤨
that's what i was thinking
And yet they are. Maybe there's some false bulletins floating around....
Or the more likely answer: extra production is enough to order larger batches of materials from suppliers at a better cost parity, especially since Mazda will be buying the power plants directly.
They keep ramping up hybrid volume. No going back.
Toyota artificially inflating their own market because they know how in demand they are. They can ask high prices because people "think" there are not many but Toyota is just stocking up on supplies...
So a rav 4 in a cx-50 body... i rather have the bigger practicality, higher resale, better visibility of the rav 4
Heated steering wheel option on lower trims and standard spare tire rules the roost in Wisconsin 😁👍🏼
Absolutely
Use the same hybrid hardware as a rav4 but combined with Mazdas higher quality and luxurious ibteior and superior druving dynamics and comfort, its a no brainer its better than the rav4. Also the pricing is better than the hybrid rav4 comparably equipped. One thing the cx50 hybrid is gonna be missing is a 360 cameras though
Just had to replace my beloved but totalled CX-5 and chose a CR-V Hybrid Sport-L. I really like it but would have gone for the CX-50 Hybrid if I could have waited. Love the Mazda design language, finish, and reliability.
Agreed.
Sorry about your accident. I love my 2021 Mazda CX-5.
Well honda and buy cx50
@@raedmohdhasan1285 *sell
Curious, why didnt you go for a CX-50 seeing as though you didnt have a hybrid before? If my Mazda 3 ever gets totaled I'm going CX-50 with or without hybrid
looks like my next car is a Toyada.
Toyazda*
Go for mazda forget the cheap plastic quality and c v t transmission of Toyota . It’s Mazda’s time now
@@raedmohdhasan1285 Why do people keep saying this crap about the CVT? The e-CVT in a toyota has literally nothing to do with a traditional cvt.
At this point in the game, I don't think people would be that confident if Mazda developed its own hybrid system. So going with Toyota is likely the best option. As that's likely the alternative the models will be compared to.
The PHEV CX-90 is selling pretty well. And they sold hybrids elsewhere ages ago. I'd trust them.
@@markcoopers1930Selling ages ago is different from continuously updating and perfecting the technology and that's what Toyota did. At this point, Toyota hybrid technology is the most reliable than any other's in the market. Toyota is the only company who has been continuously making hybrid cars for the past 25 years. Honda started it first but they stopped for a long time and then they resumed again.
@@Gopinathk17 They've been selling mild hybrids for years globally, and the CX-90 is either mild hybrid or PHEV. They globally sold hybrids of their skyactive 2L paired with Toyotas' synergy drive from 2014-2018. They've had years of study.
It's also not rocket science, Chrysler, Jeep, and Fiat of all brands figured it out. confident in Mazda putting forward a quality product over those brands. Even Hyundai didn't start selling hybrids until 2009 and now some of their models like the Sonata hybrid go toe to toe with Toyotas' counterparts.
Just because Toyotas has been refining hybrids for decades doesn't prevent anyone else from swooping in with something more innovative or effective. Maverick, the new Porsche GTS with an electric turbo/generator...
Yes, one of the reasons is that the Toyota engine has dual injection, which is superior to Mazda's direct injection only. However, according to the latest Mazda leaks, the 3rd gen CX 5 will use Mazda's in-house built hybrid system
I would have as much confidence in Mazda as anyone however the costs would be passed to the consumer & the time is now for hybridization. I wish it was the new generation but understand why Toyota would give up their newest tech.
I want a cx 30 hybrid
That’s an amazing point
CX30 is tooo damm little........Traded Mine for a touring model Forrester.............Paul
One of Mazdas advantages is that they retained their automatic transmission as others went the CVT route. CVT's don't hold up well in off road use or towing. Had a Subaru for 2 years and traded for a Mazda for that exact reason. My Mazda 3 Is 10 years old with 160,000 on it with no problems.
Good point about similarity with Crown Insignia.
Kirk, I found the rear legroom in the CX 50 to be a little bit better than the CX5, and the rear cargo area seems to go deeper than the CX 5
An inch or two yes
I’d buy this car if the black plastic wheel arches weren’t so gargantuan.
I’m coming from a 2015 CX-5 w/ 6-speed manual transmission, but A. I wanted a plug-in HEV, B. I won’t accept a CVT (and I also don’t like Toyota’s eAWD), C. I’d strongly prefer IRS. So I have a CX-70 PHEV on order, although it is bigger than I actually need. Why on order? Try to get a new (or late-model used) car with an interior NOT in black leather. As far as I can tell, virtually all new vehicles allocated have black interiors.
Great overview. Glad to see Mazda joining the hybrid party. That was a key reason I didn't go for a CX-50 this year, but instead got a CR-V Sport hybrid. The gas version of the CX-50 loses a ton of cash relative to the CR-V hybrid over the course of ownership, but it seems the hybrid will be on par.
Two other points about the CX-50. Positive: IIHS Safety Pick + vs just the Safety Pick for the RAV and CR-V. Negative: the Mazda infotainment system usability is terrible relative to the CR-V in particular.
All valid points. But the price of Mazda devaluates so fast only because no one sells a *good* Mazda 😉
@@solderbuff oh, what I meant was that the gas version loses cash relative to the CR-V hybrid / RAV4 hybrid because of the lackluster mpg. The gas CX-50 is lucky if it gets mid-20s mpg and over a few years, that equals the difference in initial purchase price relative to the CR-V / RAV4. After that time, the CR-V / RAV4 become the clear financial better choice, not even considering resale value.
Kirk, great video! I currently have a CX-5 and its great. But need a larger vehicle. Will you please do a video on the upcoming 2025 Honda Odyssey refresh?
But Honda has not released any info on the 2025 Odyssey yet
This is why I purchased my wife the 24 Venza in its last year. No leather like the Mazda or Honda but the Venza has power folding mirrors and HUD like the Mazda. Soft touch on the dash and other contact points and it has powered steering unlike the Mazda, Honda or RAV4. The Venza is smaller than the RAV4 and Honda inside but rides as smooth as any one of these competitors if not better. My wife loves the Venza.
Been waiting for this suv since it was announced. We are a Mazda family...love every one we have owned...Day one of availability, it will be in my driveway.
Are they going to make CX-5 hybrid as well? Any news about that?
Probably not until the 2026 model
It got confirmed but it could be 2025 or 2026 model
They are developing it. Maybe launch on late 2025 or early 2026😂
I want the cx60 with the straight 6 diesel in North America. C'mon Mazda! You can throw in hybrid as well if you want.
if it is new Toyota hybrid system, i'll consider it
Kirk: another great video! Which gen hybrid system is in the 2024 Grand Highlander limited hybrid? Is it 4th or 5th gen?
Can’t believe they’re doing this… Toyota should’ve kept its exclusivity. Also if ppl don’t talk or give enough credit to Toyota for offering so many features on the RAV4, next gen will take away things like heated rear seats, pano roof, 5 door smart key, digital rear view mirror, adaptive headlights, etc etc. Just how they slowly started taking away features from the XLE to make you get the xle “premium”. Hopefully they don’t take away features for the next gen but most likely they’ll.
Are you sure the Mazda has a touch screen? They have moved away from touch screens in most all or all of their cars at this point.
The question of course is dealer inventory. If the CX-50 hybrid models are going to be as hard to find as Toyota hybrids and dealers start demanding extortion fees, there is no point.
Mazda has a build up of inventory and seems to meet demand so would be surprised if this came to pass.
Good point. I think it will be very tough to find these on dealer lots.
That's why I'm pre-ordering tomorrow :)
Probably a good idea to also display the vehicle pics in question. I had to google to see it.
YES
When you mention the whole power train is from Toyota, are you also talking the ECTV? Or do we still get the conventional 6 speed transmission the Mazda normally uses?
Good grief the spam lol
😂They’re so pathetic.
The best buy is the one you can get a discount on. Stupid Toyota stealerships are still charging msrp or above msrp. While I’ve seen Honda dealerships here Dallas/ Fort Worth area actually give any where from $2,000 to $5,000 off msrp.
I wouldn’t buy a Toyota if I can buy other hybrids for cheaper. We will see what Mazda dealerships do when the cx-50 hybrid gets released.
I’m worried that it’s losing the spare. The media release says the battery is under the rear cargo area. With the RAV4 you get a spare because it was designed to be a hybrid from the get go.
Cool
Premium trim is the best one for the cx-50 hybrid. You should compare that one.
and Kirk, what do you hear if anything about a CX-5 Hybrid? Oops! u answered. This would be the one for me.
CX-50 Hybrid with a 5 1/2 ft truck bed and Mazda would have a sales leader in a more niche market.
No RAV4 hybrid or ice varient has a HUD, only the Rav4 prime has it as an option.
Kirk, Do You think the New Hybrid will Keep the same Fuel ⛽ Tank Capacity (15.9 gallons), As the Non-Hybrid vehicle CX-50?🇺🇲🇨🇦??
I want a cx-50 with a hybrid turbo or phev option like the cx-70 and cx-90 have 😭
One could easily give birth to 1-3 children inside this beauty imho
🤔
They will use the Toyota Hybrid system so it won't be better but as good
Infotainment screen size comparisons are irrelevant until reviewers start using actual screen area (sq inches, sq cm, etc) instead of reading off the manufacturers spec sheet. That Mazda screen may 'seem' larger per the spec sheet but it's also comparatively narrow. So how does the screen area compare to the other brands?
I remember someone mentioned the reason Mazda used torsion beam is for better packaging which translates to better passenger space yet Mazdas continues to be the worse in passenger space ever since the kodo design era. Torsion beams can be comfortable, it's just Mazda choosing it to be stiff which honestly a suv needs for less body roll but damn it's stiff.
Mazda was going to use new rotary for hybrid. Wife just got new cx5 turbo. Making 5 Mazdas in my driveway. My Mazdaspeed 6 is my fav and still better. My mr2 spyder is needing more power.
No HUD available on Rav 4 hybrid Ltd
Prime then right?
@@KirkKreifels yup
Wish we can get this setup in the next Gen cx 5....but I know that's not gonna happen
I wonder what will be the wit times? As Toyota can’t deliver their hybrids on time
A better handling, but worse riding RAV4
Better interior, worse resale value, Cooler badge.
Not necessarily
Lmao i bet you haven’t ridden the newest cx-50😂
@@gerdz101 what about it>
Foggies for the win!!
send the CX50 Downunder
This is a limitation to being a small company like Mazda. You have to copy existing tech from bigger rivals instead of developing one's own tech. I know Mazda has developed their own engines and drive trains but this is not one of them obviously.
Next Gen Cx5 hybrid will be Mazda developed. I think the Toyota system is a placeholder for now until Mazda get theirs right.
Same Toyota engine too?
exact setup out of a rav4 hybrid
They make this car alongside the RAV4 in Alabama via Toyota-Mazda Manufacturing iirc. Like chibbyylol said, the exact same hybrid system as the RAV4 hybrid.
A Toyota hybrid system is also confirmed to come to the upcoming Subaru Forester Hybrid.
The RAV4 is not produced in the Alabama plant, the Corolla Cross is
CX-50 hybrid with Toyota system... I guess Mazda's M-hybrid system just isn't good enough. Skyactiv-X and rotary are also not good enough. Is Mazda okay?
No sunroof wtf 😬
Hybrids (HEVs) are the bridge to full-on Electric Vehicles (EVs). They provide great torque, gas mileage, and are fun to drive (with the eCVT). I have a 2023 Lexus ES300h with a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter engine and a hybrid drivetrain and I love it.
There is no bridge for the near future. HEV is far better, reliable, low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) than an unreliable BEV, high TCO clunker.
@@codincoman9019 BYD and CATL have partnered with others to collaborate on "Solid State" battery technology. Once a commercially viable solid-state battery is proven for EVs, the TCO for an EV shall come down, the range anxiety shall subside, and hopefully, electric infrastructure shall be fixed for both generation and recharging facilities.
@@randy74989, smart people don't buy from the Chinese commies.
The rest is "eco"-Marxist bs.
The electrics will not be good in the near future.
Pretty disappointed that there's no base Select trim hybrid CX-50. I want a lower starting price and have absolutely no interest in a slow power lift gate that you're forced into with the Preferred hybrid trim...the fuel savings are essentially evaporated when you're forced to spend an extra $2k for the Preferred trim. A base Select hybrid trim would start at $33k instead of $35k for the Preferred hybrid trim. A shame really, hopefully they add a base trim next year. I really really don't want a slow af power lift gate
Kinda wish the CX-50 also got a PHEV variant. Would be a great segment competitor in between the RAV4 Prime and the Volvo XC60 Recharge
Not sure XC60 is a good comparison? Not as reliable, but luxe interiors and 455hp/523ft-lb
interesting: you cant even buy a Toyota hybrid so how do they get these components?
Is the infotainment system touch screen or did Mazda kept it with the dial control? IMHO, the dial control sucks big time.
It's dial. Aa and ACP can use a touchscreen though
The Mazda screen is now touch when stopped. Personally I prefer it to an only touch screen setup.
I prefer dials especially when driving. I don’t have to tale my eyes off the road just to increase the volume.
@@gerdz101 They need to have both to accommodate the masses
@@Ken-jw4xk they should prioritize safety imo. From what I heard when the car is stationary it becomes touch screen.
so this is a comparison between Rav4 hybrid vs Rav4 hybrid Vs. CR-V hybrid (the best one)
One of those RAV4 's has a much better Mazda interior tho.
$40k drive out is too HIGH in this eco! And that's the "base" hybrid.
The problem is, how reliable is it. There are only two hybrid systems: Toyota and other😂
I would take a plug in hybrid Mazda 3 or Mazda cx5. 300 hp and 50 mpg is pretty sweet. 38 mpg just is not enough when a Camry can get 50.
The Mazda/Toyota transplant hybrid that I actually want to see the most is for Mazda to transfer over the Corolla Cross hybrid system into a CX-30 hybrid. It could easily be made in the same Alabama factory as the Corolla Cross hybrid and CX-50 hybrid. Fingers crossed but we'll see, Mazda has been super slow with hybrids and making silly decisions like the CX-70. The CX-30 needs more range much more than the CX-50 due to how small the CX-30 fuel tank is.
The CX-70 was a gangster move by Mazda. It’s sportier, with enough variation to feel unique, allows a bench seat on all trims, more storage compartments, that melting copper color, the gorgeous blacked out grill. Beautiful proportions. Why mess with a good thing for the sake of variety?
Will Toyota 's 5th gen hybrid use the cvt? At some point I hope they will go Honda's way with the ecvt.
Toyotas 4th hybrid generation is Ecvt...has been for years
All of Toyota hybrids use eCVT... Except for the trucks and hybrid max models...
Toyota's drive is an eCVT. It uses two motor generators along with a planetary gear set. Not a rubber band CVT
@@JohnFromArlingtron Planatary gear is in the nonhybrids like the Corolla
The cx 50 hev dominates the rav 4 and crv in terms of luxury, handling and tech which means that you can even compare it to the crown Signia since it’s technically an estate.
Yes, my CX 50 reminds me of a sport wagon!
Oh great now Mazda’s are gonna start blowing up 🤦🏻♂️ 😆 it’s jokes but is it?😏
What are you talking about? The RAV4 battery scandal?
If I had to give up my Lexus rx350 I would replace it with a CX50.
That’s exactly what I did over a year and a half ago. Drove a 2010 RX 350 for 12 years and now I’m driving the CX 50!😁
🧦Wool socks to sleep=20% mood increase the next day🟣🟥⬛
The only question I have is the 2.5? (Mazda has not 100% said which it will be) Will be be the Mazda 2.5 or the Toyota. I HOPE Mazda uses their 2.5 just like Subaru Hybrid will use the Subaru boxer. If it's the Toyota it reminds me of the late Surgero Marchionne of FCA. He wrote an open letter to the industry like 10 years ago that went something like this, " We are all going to need a 2.0-2.5 4 cylinder engines so lets all get together and design 1-2 that we can all sell and tune. This will decrease engine design costs. PS: if the CX-50 is on the CX-30/3 platform will they get the same update?
Toyota's 2.5 will be used. This way it will mate without any special adapters to their hybrid system.
The complete Toyota Hybrid System will be used so yes Toyota 2.5L but system will be tuned to Mazda's satisfaction.
i would take cx-50 over the junk rav4 which the ride is horrible dono why its called the best selling crap and road noise honda ...
Unfortunately, the CX5 hybrid won’t be out until 2026, I need a car sooner rather than later, and I hate the CX-50 styling.
Thinking I’m gonna buy a used ‘23 Turbo in a couple months, then sell and upgrade to a CX5 Hybrid in a couple years when the kinks are worked out.
Plus, you know those dealer markups are gonna be effin ridiculous.
Im in the same boat! Need a car in the next few months but would love to sew what a CX5 hybrid would be like
@@tiklemeangi Right? Especially since it's rumored to have a Mazda-designed drivetrain. Between the wait for an announcement and waiting to see reviews, it looks like I'll meet you right back here in like 2028?? lol
@@baybae92 what do you think of the cx50 hybrid
@@tiklemeangi Eh, the CX-50 isn't my favorite design, and I wonder how engaging of a drive it'll be with the RAV4 powertrain. But we shall see! Maybe Mazda has something up their sleeve. You?
@@baybae92 i dont know much about cars been learning. If they create a cx5 hybrid wirh their own drivetrain, then wouldnt that mean it would be better to get the rumored cx5 hybrid 2-3+ years after it premieres? Rav4 hybrid is supposed to come out with an a new generation too. Ive never been into leases but now im wondering if its worrh getting a lease for a sedan (lower payments) so by the time the 3 year lease is up, the new cx5 hybrid and rav4 hybrid will be out….but I also know things gets pushed all the time. Sigh I have no idea what car to pick lol.
actually, if the three engines were offered in Australia, I'd go the turbo as I don't give a rats backside about fuel economy and it has a 6spd auto not that CVT
Kirk your getting a little lazy bro don't say u think take an extra few minutes and look it up that's your job 👍🏻, I think 😂
cx 50 has more legroom and storage than cx5. also more than rav4
stop making videos if you just want to blabber stuff
Looks like a rebadged Toyota Cross.....
Anything that can siphon market share from Toyota and knock them off their high-priced high horse is a good thing.
