2025 MAZDA CX-50 vs. the Competition

It’s a great time to be a car shopper, especially if you are in the market for a compact SUV. Now more than ever, the class is filled with many great vehicles, and the 2025 Mazda CX-50 stands at the head of the class. If, however, you’re not sure that this is the right model for you, it pays to make some comparisons. The team at Bay Ridge Mazda is showing how this dynamic SUV matches up to competitors in three important areas.

Performance

The Mazda brand always aims to deliver an engaging experience behind the wheel, with vehicle designs that are both athletic and aesthetically pleasing. The 2025 Mazda CX-50 has nimble handling and excellent maneuverability, which is why it’s perfect for navigating narrow and crowded New York City streets. While models like the Honda CR-V and Subaru Forester are fine for getting around, they lack the prowess of Mazda’s i-Activ AWD® system.

Off-Roading

Along with its exceptional on-road experience, the 2025 Mazda CX-50 has been designed for light off-roading. In addition to standard i-Activ AWD, upper trims have a dedicated Off-Road driving mode along with 8.6 inches of ground clearance. Many competitors, such as the Hyundai Tucson and Honda CR-V, aren’t meant to be taken off the pavement, unlike this new Mazda SUV.

Technology Features

Mazda models are built to be tech-savvy, and the 2025 Mazda CX-50 comes with numerous standard features that will catch your eye. These include wireless Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®, Amazon Alexa, and HD radio. An eight-speaker stereo, proximity keyless entry, and push-button start, and a 7-inch digital gauge cluster are standard as well.

Wireless smartphone connectivity isn’t standard in the Subaru Forester and Honda CR-V, and the stereo in the Honda model only has four speakers. Plus, the digital driver display in the Hyundai Tucson is just 4.2 inches.
