Pretty much the same here. I traded my 2020 for a 2023 Venza. I’m actually getting better mpg with my Venza. The RAV4 3 year average mpg was 43 when I traded it in. I’m a better hybrid driver now.

Hoping real hard for a CX-30 hybrid with the Corolla Cross Hybrid power train or a Mazda in-house hybrid system. The Corolla Cross is built right next to the CX-50 in Alabama and the CX-50 uses the CX-30 platform. Plus with the upcoming tariffs, it makes all the sense in the world to make CX-30's in Alabama. The CX-30 desperately needs better range, much more so than the CX-50
I'm sure people here already know, but you should never top off past the first "click" at the pump. Doing so can damage the EVAP system. And yes, you need to use the same pump for both before and after fill-ups for accurate MPG results.
I have a spreadsheet in many of ma Mazda Facebook Clubs. On the spreadsheet, it has a list of ALL the Mazda Dealerships in the USA on it. Once you find THAT DEALERSHIP, look to the far right where I have a link to “Dealer Rater”, or something like that. It will take you straight to that dealership where you can make those comments about what THEY DID, and, RATE THEM!!!
Yeah it really sucks, the only two Mazda dealers in my area for 100 miles are doing $1.5k and $4k markups, probably even more for the CX-50 hybrid. It's ridiculous, Mazda NEEDS to crack down on it's dealers
I reserved a BEV Tesla Long Range but it was not available. I was given a Toyota Crown XLE and was expecting to be less than impressed. My week was primarily highway, averaged 47 MPG, and was beyond shocked. The vehicle was not a rocket ship however NVH was excellent and the fitment was great for a $38K Toyota. With a 14 gallon tank, I could easily refill at over 600 miles.
Mazda's lane centering system is called "Cruising and Traffic Control" - it is on the Turbo but not available on any Hybrid models. Unfortunately it's almost a deal breaker for me, will probably wait to see if they add it to the 2026 models.
same. I might try to wait another year and I'm sure they will add it as a minor upgrade for 2026. But I'm not sure if i can wait for another year. I gotta replace my 2013 accord. I didn't like the CRV and not fun to drive. Rav4 isn't as fun to drive as cx50 I hear.
Love the looks of the CX-50 and everything I have read about it. Only problem, I put it into a depreciation computer and it depreciates $100 per month more than a Toyota RAV4. Love the car, but love my money more. (Used Edge automotive depreciation computer)(used new vehicle, 5 years ownership, 12,000 miles per year, purchase price of $43,000).
Well, I don't think the calculator is aware of the steady uptick of new car buyers joining Mazda and why. More people are trying Mazda for good reason; they offer tons of safety, nicer materials and a better ride overall, with similar reliability as the other Japanese brands.

Car and driver in their 200 mile highway test at 75mph got 37mpg in the RAV4 hybrid AWD on 18s and 34mpg in the CX50 hybrid AWD on 19s. Also the CX50 has 250lb more than the RAV.
we routinely get 30-36 mpg in our 2023 CX50 non-turbo in mixed city/country (20-45 mph type roads) in our commute and if its mainly highway we get 36-42 mpg...so this doesn't surprise me

My 2019 Hyundai Ionic hybrid gets 59mpg in the summer time. Am disappointed in these newer cars hybrids getting 35% less fuel mileage. Buy a used 2019 Hyundai Ionic hybrid and get better fuel mileage and save on a used car.
I was considering this vehicle but finally resigned because it has very little headroom because of that useless sunroof. I am tall and my son even taller. I don't understand why his car made lower than CX-5. Also, I'm afraid of potential problems because it's a very brand new model. Regarding accuracy of your mpg measuring: if you do it after short trip there could be significant error. Different pumps may shut off differently, also the car should be absolutely level on both fillups. You'll get more accurate reading after much longer trip.
I've been inside the CX-50. Very nice inside and feels primiun but the seats have no cushin on them at all, felt like sitting on a hard surfacs couldin't find a comfortable spot.
It is difficult to measure mpg unless you use the exact same pump at the same outside temperature I found filling my Rav 4 hybrid gas pumps can vary by a half gallon at the first click off..
@@eleanormassaro5195 with that being said, I will have to wait a "few" years to make sure their own hybrid system will be fine. Shoot, I am an old Coger so that may be an issue.
This result depends a lot on driving style. Kirk is a long time Prius owner and knows how to drive a hybrid for great economy. If you get into this car and drive it like a typical driver you won’t get this result. I recently had a Corolla Hybrid hatch for a week on holidays in North Queensland. When I got the car, the trip information system had not been rest for months and was showing 4.4 litres per 100 km. I did 500 km and got 3.47 litres per 100 km based on how much fuel it took to fill up prior to returning the car. So I conclude that most drivers don’t drive a hybrid the way I do and get much lower fuel economy as a result.
70 on the freeway in FL? You've gotta be getting passed by most others on the road. You should be doing you highway test at 80+ down in FL. BTW, FL drivers are crazy.. when I was down there in the past, we were going 80, in a light RAIN, with cars were passing us like we were stopped!
Frankly, there's enough variation when you fill up a tank that your numbers will not be that accurate. The only way to measure fuel consumption when you have a car for such a short amount of time is metering the fuel delivery. Your feelings do not mean anything. Maybe you should be doing music reaction videos.

The premium plus non-turbo and the hybrid do not have the rear parking sensors. You have to go up to the turbo to get that.
Most reviews so far say it's underpowered compared to the CX-5 Turbo so I'll pass until later iterations bump up that torque.
Of course it would be less power than the turbo. Just as the turbo on the CX 50 is going to be more powerful. 219 hp versus 256? of course

I'm someone-I drive 65
Totally awesome!!!
70 on the freeway in FL? You've gotta be getting passed by most others on the road. You should be doing you highway test at 80+ down in FL.
BTW, FL drivers are crazy.. when I was down there in the past, we were going 80, in a light RAIN, with cars were passing us like we were stopped!
Yep, that’s typical to see in Florida!🤪
I hate Toyota's rattly ass 4 banger. CRV hybrid is so much more refined.
True but Toyota is more responsive and more efficient.
It has much better sound insulation than Toyota so it's much quieter.
awesome!!!!
Frankly, there's enough variation when you fill up a tank that your numbers will not be that accurate. The only way to measure fuel consumption when you have a car for such a short amount of time is metering the fuel delivery. Your feelings do not mean anything.
Maybe you should be doing music reaction videos.
I will not buy it because of the poo 💩 radio system it’s horrible look like from 2000 really Mazda no heated steering wheel wow
not having lane centering is a deal breaker for me
And no 360 camera, heated steering wheel, parking sensors. Basic basic.
@@Pooh2-s4q it’s not exactly basic. This trim does have power fold mirrors, it does have a HUD display and I love the Bose Soundsystem!
@@eleanormassaro5195 It is basic compared to other brands.
4? FOUR mpg more is not shocking…..
Mazda engine has better fuel economy than Toyota engines.
It's a Toyota engine.
HEY
