2023 Mazda CX-50 2.5 S Preferred Plus Package

The 2023 Mazda CX-50 2.5 S Preferred Plus is a compact crossover SUV with a more rugged, outdoors-focused design than most Mazdas. It is built for paved roads but also tuned for trail use, thanks to its standard all-wheel drive system, which performs well on gravel, snow, and uneven surfaces. Its interior is refined and driver-focused, with a layout that emphasizes comfort and control.

Under the hood is a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated 4-cylinder gasoline engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. It uses regular unleaded fuel and delivers smooth, predictable power. While not built for high-speed thrills, this engine offers reliable performance and strong low-end response, ideal for everyday driving and moderate outdoor adventures.
