Replaced an older Mazda with this one. Big step up in cargo room; I'd like a little more power from the base engine.

2026 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid review
Mazda CX-50 Hybrid: a class leader on the details. Illustrative review
8.6/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid sits near the top of its class. Roomy second row and flexible cargo floor; easy to see out of and park. Engine gets loud under hard acceleration and third row (where offered) is for kids, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $35,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

We cross-shopped three others and this won on cargo room. the touchscreen climate controls is the trade-off.
