Serving Colorado Springs & Castle Rock, CO

Mazda offers two impressive compact crossovers in 2025: the Mazda CX-5 and the Mazda CX-50. While both vehicles belong to the same category, they each bring unique characteristics to the table. Before visiting Bob Penkhus Mazda at Powers in Colorado Springs, CO for a test drive, here's what you need to know about the differences between the 2025 Mazda CX-5 and Mazda CX-50.

Performance

The 2025 Mazda CX-5 provides two engine choices. Lower trims feature a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine delivering 187 horsepower, while the higher trims offer a turbocharged variant producing 227 horsepower. Both engine options include all-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic transmission. Similarly, the 2025 Mazda CX-50 shares these engines but adds a hybrid powertrain. The hybrid setup pairs a non-turbo engine with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), producing a combined 219 horsepower.

Appearance

The Mazda CX-5 exhibits a compact, sporty profile with sleek contours along the hood and sides, emphasized by a bold front grille and streamlined headlights. In contrast, the Mazda CX-50 is wider, longer, and sits closer to the ground. Its design includes distinctive lower-body cladding and a slightly boxy shape with smoothly molded fenders. The Mazda CX-50 also features a broader grille and smaller, more angular headlights.

Features

Both the 2025 Mazda CX-5 and Mazda CX-50 come equipped with a range of premium features, including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a digital instrument panel, and remote keyless entry. They also offer dual-zone automatic climate control, a forward collision avoidance system, adaptive cruise control, lane departure mitigation, and a blind-spot detection system.
