The 2026 Mazda CX-50 was designed for exactly the kind of buyer Colorado Springs produces — outdoor-lifestyle focused, AWD-dependent, and unwilling to trade driving refinement for rugged capability. Standard i-Activ AWD across all trims, a turbocharged engine option producing 256 horsepower and 3,500 lbs of towing capacity, available all-terrain tires and Off-Road Mi-Drive mode on Meridian Edition models, and a cargo area of 31.4 cubic feet make the CX-50 one of the most versatile compact crossovers in its class. For Colorado Springs shoppers searching for a Mazda CX-50 for sale in Colorado Springs, CO, new inventory is available now at Bob Penkhus Mazda at Powers, located at 7455 Test Drive, Colorado Springs, CO 80923. Serving Falcon, Fountain, Pueblo, and the entire Front Range.

Why the CX-50 Is Built for Colorado Springs

The Pikes Peak region, the San Isabel National Forest, the trails above Manitou Springs, and the route up Gold Camp Road all sit within reasonable distance of the Colorado Springs metro. The CX-50 is the Mazda crossover built for those drives — with available all-terrain tires on the Meridian Edition Adventure trim, Off-Road Mi-Drive mode that adjusts throttle mapping and traction systems for loose or low-traction surfaces, and Mazda's i-Activ AWD continuously distributing torque across all four wheels. For buyers who want a Colorado Springs daily driver that can genuinely handle a trailhead parking lot, a forest service road, or a Saturday morning at Mueller State Park, the CX-50 is the right Mazda. And for the other six days a week, the premium interior, Bose audio, and highway-friendly 6-speed automatic make it just as capable at the grocery store as it is on a dirt road.

The 2026 Mazda CX-50 Trim Lineup

Seven gas trims plus two Meridian Edition configurations span the 2026 CX-50 lineup. The 2.5 S at $29,900 is the entry point — standard AWD, 187 horsepower, the full i-Activsense safety suite. The 2.5 S Select at $31,900 and 2.5 S Preferred at $33,640 add progressive comfort and technology upgrades. The Carbon Edition at $34,300 features exclusive Polymetal Gray paint and red Nappa leather seats. The Meridian Edition Adventure trim brings 18-inch all-terrain tires, Off-Road Mi-Drive mode, and black exterior badging for the outdoor-oriented buyer. Stepping into turbocharged territory, the 2.5 Turbo at $38,600 introduces the SKYACTIV-G 2.5 Dynamic Pressure Turbo with 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque on premium fuel and 3,500 lb towing. The Turbo Meridian Edition at $40,400 — Edmunds' top pick in the lineup — pairs the 256 hp engine with the all-terrain tire setup and Off-Road Mi-Drive for the most capable CX-50 available. The 2.5 Turbo Premium at $41,100 and Turbo Premium Plus at $42,900 top the lineup with Nappa leather, Bose audio, and the most complete safety and technology suite.

Turbocharged vs. Naturally Aspirated: Which CX-50 Is Right for You?

The naturally aspirated 2.5 S engine at 187 horsepower and 26 mpg combined is the right choice for Colorado Springs buyers focused on everyday practicality and accessible payments — smooth, capable, and efficient for city and highway use. The 2.5 Turbo at 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque is the right choice for buyers who need towing capability (3,500 lbs vs. 2,000 lbs on non-turbo trims), regularly climb mountain grades with passengers and gear, or simply want the stronger engine character that the turbo provides. Both engines include standard AWD and a 6-speed automatic. The Turbo Meridian Edition at $40,400 is the sweet spot for Colorado Springs outdoor buyers — combining the turbo engine's capability with the Meridian's all-terrain setup at a price below the top two turbo trims.
