Bob Penkhus Mazda at Powers - Trail-Ready Confidence in the 2025 Mazda CX-50 2.5 Turbo Meridian Edition for Denver, CO Drivers

Colorado’s mix of urban avenues, high plains, and alpine passes calls for an SUV that’s equal parts finesse and grit. That’s where the 2025 Mazda CX-50 2.5 Turbo Meridian Edition shines. It pairs a responsive SKYACTIV-G® 2.5 engine with a Twin-scroll Turbo and i-Stop for quick, confident acceleration at altitude, while standard i-Activ AWD® and Mi-Drive modes help put power where it matters. Off-Road Mode optimizes traction on loose surfaces, and available Towing Mode supports stable control when hauling up to 3,500 lbs. Add in a cabin designed around human-centric ergonomics and intuitive tech—like Alexa Built-in and Wireless Apple CarPlay™—and you’ve got a refined adventure platform with the brains and brawn for Denver commutes and weekend trailheads alike.

The Meridian Edition’s details reinforce its mission. Unique 18-inch Aluminum Alloy Wheels with Black Metallic finish and black lug nuts set an assertive stance, while available accessories such as a rooftop platform and Apex Package add utility for bikes, kayaks, or camping gear. Inside, you’ll find supportive seating, clear sightlines, and a noise-calibrated cabin that stays composed on I-25 or gravel switchbacks. The i-Activsense® suite includes foundational confidence technologies, and the 360-degree utility of the cargo area—with a flush load floor and wide opening—makes packing straightforward. The resulting package is more than a rugged trim badge; it’s a genuine, well-rounded tool for people who want to go often and go well.

• Powertrain confidence: SKYACTIV-G® 2.5 with Twin-scroll Turbo and i-Stop delivers strong, responsive torque for altitude and trail approaches.
• All-weather traction: i-Activ AWD® comes standard and works with G-Vectoring Control Plus for stable, predictable feedback.
• Drive-mode versatility: Mi-Drive includes Off-Road Mode and available Towing Mode for varied terrain and hauling needs.
• Purposeful design: Meridian-specific 18-inch wheels and available rooftop platform support gear-heavy weekends.
• Smart tech integration: Alexa Built-in, Wireless Apple CarPlay™, and the MyMazda App with Connected Services simplify the day-to-day.

For drivers mapping out long weekends, the Meridian Edition’s balance of comfort and capability stands out. Turbocharged torque helps on climbs and merges; Off-Road Mode adds poise on rutted paths; and the chassis tuning—true to Mazda’s Jinba Ittai ethos—keeps the steering natural and connected. You can settle in on the drive home with an available premium audio setup and cabin features engineered for restful posture and minimal fatigue. That’s the Meridian difference: confidence when the pavement ends and composure when the day’s long.

When it’s time to fine-tune your build, Bob Penkhus Mazda at Powers can walk you through accessories, color choices, and the practical differences between towing and cargo solutions—serving Pueblo, Colorado Springs, and Denver with informed guidance and a friendly, low-pressure approach.
