Bob Penkhus Mazda at Powers - What to Know About the 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid
The 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid blends authentic Mazda driving dynamics with the everyday benefits of electrification, creating a crossover that is as ready for a canyon commute as it is for a weekend trailhead. At Bob Penkhus Mazda at Powers, our team helps shoppers understand how this hybrid adds range, confidence, and refinement without losing the connected feel that makes Mazda special.

Frequently Asked Questions:

e-AWD uses electric motor assistance to manage power delivery between the front and rear wheels. This quick, precise response helps the CX-50 Hybrid maintain confident traction while preserving a natural steering feel.
What are the main differences between the Hybrid trims?
Each Hybrid trim builds on the previous with comfort and technology enhancements. As you move up, expect upgrades such as premium seating materials, additional convenience features, advanced displays, and distinctive wheel designs. Our team can map features to your priorities during a walk-around.
Does the CX-50 Hybrid work well for light off-pavement use?
