2026 MAZDA CX-50 Trim Comparison: Finding the One That Moves You
A crossover doesn’t have to feel ordinary. The 2026 Mazda CX-50 is engineered around the idea that even an everyday SUV can carry a sense of motion, intent, and connection between driver and road. At AutoNation Mazda Arapahoe, we help Centennial, CO drivers find which version of that experience is theirs, because the difference between trims isn’t just equipment, it’s character.
2.5 S Select
The 2.5 S Select trim opens the lineup with a 2.5-liter SKYACTIV®-G engine producing 187 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed Skyactiv®-Drive automatic and standard i-ACTIV AWD®. A 10.25-inch display, Mazda Connect infotainment, and the full i-Activsense® safety suite establish a cabin that feels considered rather than entry-level.
2.5 S Preferred
The 2.5 S Preferred trim sharpens daily driving with a panoramic moonroof, heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, a power liftgate, and parking sensors. These details smooth the friction of daily driving.
2.5 S Meridian Edition
The 2.5 S Meridian Edition trim is built for drivers whose Saturdays leave the pavement. Eighteen-inch wheels wear all-terrain tires, black roof rails carry your gear, and gloss black accents signal intent, taking 187 horsepower into terrain that asks something different of the chassis.
2.5 S Premium
The 2.5 S Premium trim elevates your new Mazda SUV with leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, twenty-inch wheels, and a twelve-speaker Bose® audio system tuned to the cabin’s geometry. Mazda Radar Cruise Control™ with Stop and Go adds Speed Limit Assist to help on longer drives.
2.5 Turbo
The 2.5 Turbo trim is where the 2026 Mazda CX-50 finds its second voice. A twin-scroll turbocharged 2.5-liter delivers 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque on premium fuel, towing rises to 3,500 lbs when properly equipped, and paddle shifters and the Active Driving Display put the experience in view.
2.5 Turbo Meridian Edition
The 2.5 Turbo Meridian Edition trim pairs the turbocharged powertrain’s torque with the rugged styling of the S Meridian, combining all-terrain tires and gloss black accents with visible capability.
2.5 Turbo Premium Plus
The 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus trim is the most fully realized 2026 Mazda CX-50. Its i-Activsense® suite expands to include Blind-Spot Assist and Front Cross-Traffic Alert, available Terracotta leather warms the cabin, and every detail returns to Mazda’s founding idea.
