My drives took me on I-495, north to I-695 in the greater Baltimore area, far west on I-70, and even on I-270 to Western Maryland. I also drove through the Appalachian hills to the northeastern part of West Virginia on I-81, where I truly enjoyed the 2.5L Turbo inline-4 engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240312_165025-1024x473.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240312_165025-1024x473.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240312_165025-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240312_165025-768x355.jpg 768w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240312_165025-1536x710.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240312_165025-2048x946.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240312_165025-600x277.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2.5L Turbo 4 engine produces 227 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The CX-50 I drove featured 20-inch wheels and a Mazda Soul Red exterior. It also boasts a 3,500-pound towing capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" data-src=\"https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240318_060036-1024x473.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7748 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240318_060036-1024x473.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240318_060036-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240318_060036-768x355.jpg 768w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240318_060036-1536x710.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240318_060036-2048x946.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240318_060036-600x277.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/473;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I experienced a lot of this power during my drives. The vehicle&#8217;s fit and finish are impeccable, and the technology integration is excellent. It features Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and numerous active safety features like adaptive cruise control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" data-src=\"https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240312_1650331-1024x473.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7750 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240312_1650331-1024x473.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240312_1650331-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240312_1650331-768x355.jpg 768w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240312_1650331-1536x710.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240312_1650331-2048x946.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240312_1650331-600x277.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/473;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I particularly loved the panoramic roof, which allowed me to look up at the night sky while listening to the Spa channel and Watercolors, bringing a sense of serenity and calm to my drives. My younger brother also loves the CX-50; he purchased one because of its quality and style. He owns a BMW M5 Competition and is a doctor, so he appreciates the fit, finish, and quality materials of the CX-50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" data-src=\"https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240312_1650110-1024x473.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7752 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240312_1650110-1024x473.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240312_1650110-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240312_1650110-768x355.jpg 768w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240312_1650110-1536x710.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240312_1650110-2048x946.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/toyznation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20240312_1650110-600x277.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/473;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CX-50 is partially manufactured in the United States at a joint factory in Madison, Alabama, a collaboration between Toyota and Mazda. This factory also produces the Corolla Cross and several other vehicles. The Mazda CX-50 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus is also fuel-efficient, with an EPA rating of 29 miles per gallon on the highway. The model I drove had a base price of $43,300, and the delivered price was $45,270.
