If the market has taught us anything these past couple of decades or so, it’s that there can never be enough SUV and crossovers.
It’s not all sunshine and rainbows though. The front seats aren’t wildly comfortable or supportive. From about my shoulder blades up, there was no support as the seats lean back too far from the middle section up. There was no adjustment I found that fixed that. In addition, the front bolster support wasn’t very supportive even in its highest setting. I wondered if those gripes had to do with my height but after talking to many others of various heights, similar complaints were found.
Most CX-50s will come with eight speakers but the car we tested had a premium Bose sound system with 12 speakers and some cool audio technology that could both change volume automatically based on road noise, and can also provide a more surround-sound experience. As far as car audio systems go it’s above average and has good depth, bass, and clarity.
Why did Mazda stick with a six-speed autobox instead of a more popular eight, nine, or 10-speed? Well, the automaker says that it allows them to be in the right gear more often, a part of its Jinba Ittai mindset with regard to building all of its products. That phrase directly refers to the connection between a horse and its rider and how tactile feedback is the main means of communication between the two.
When entering a corner, the CX-50 de-couples the rear wheels to the maximum extent allowing for better turn-in, and then adds power back in after the apex. Again, all of this is supposed to be undetectable but the one thing we can assure you of is that this SUV carves corners incredibly well. Sport mode makes that even more enjoyable thanks to sharper steering and more aggressive shift points.
