2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid Trim Comparison: GS-L, Kuro, and GT Models

The 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid offers three trim levels for Canadian buyers, each combining a fuel-efficient powertrain achieving 6.2 L/100km combined with standard all-wheel drive and distinctive features.


Each trim level builds upon a solid foundation while adding unique features and styling elements that set them apart. Let's explore what makes each version unique and help you determine which CX-50 Hybrid best suits your lifestyle.


Hybrid Powertrain: The Common Ground


Before diving into the differences, it's worth noting that all CX-50 Hybrid models share the same advanced powertrain:

  • 2.5L naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine with hybrid technology
  • 219 horsepower and 163 lb-ft of torque
  • e-AWD (electric all-wheel drive) system
  • Electronically-controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (e-CVT)
  • 680 kg (1,500 lbs) towing capacity

GS-L: The Foundation of Excellence


The GS-L trim, starting at $42,950, establishes itself as much more than an entry-level option. This model demonstrates Mazda's commitment to premium features and technology right from the start. The interior welcomes you with refined black leatherette upholstery and a sophisticated design that emphasizes both comfort and functionality.


Technology takes center stage with a 10.25-inch full-colour centre display that seamlessly integrates wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. The driver enjoys precise control through a 10-way power adjustable seat with lumbar support, ensuring optimal comfort during both short commutes and long journeys.


Comfort features abound, with heated front seats and a heated steering wheel making Canadian winters more bearable. The power sliding panoramic moonroof bathes the cabin in natural light, while the power rear liftgate adds convenience to daily tasks.


The exterior makes a strong first impression with its 17-inch alloy wheels finished in black metallic, complemented by sharp LED headlights. The rain-sensing wipers add both convenience and safety, automatically adjusting to weather conditions as they change.


Kuro Edition: Athletic Sophistication


The Kuro Edition, priced at $44,850, elevates the CX-50 Hybrid's visual appeal with exclusive design elements that create a more dramatic presence. This trim level has been carefully crafted for drivers who appreciate subtle yet distinctive styling touches that set their vehicle apart.


The exterior features unique black accents throughout, including sophisticated black roof rails and exhaust pipes that contribute to a cohesive, athletic appearance. These elements work together to create a premium aesthetic that catches the eye without being overstated.


Inside, the Kuro Edition truly shines with its available Garnet Red leather interior, offering a bold alternative to the equally sophisticated black leather option. The special interior trim features distinctive red stitching that adds visual interest and emphasizes the cabin's refined character.


Comfort and convenience receive thoughtful upgrades as well. The addition of a 6-way power passenger seat enhances front-seat comfort, while the driver benefits from a memory function that can store two distinct seating positions. These features, combined with premium interior materials, create an environment that feels special every time you enter the vehicle.


GT: The Premium Experience


At the top of the range, the GT trim at $48,350 represents the ultimate expression of the CX-50 Hybrid's luxury and technology potential. This model builds upon the strong foundation of lower trims while adding sophisticated features that enhance every aspect of the driving experience.


The GT's technology suite impresses with a Bose 12-speaker premium audio system that delivers concert-hall quality sound throughout the cabin. The 360° view monitor with see-through view technology makes parking and low-speed maneuvering effortless, while the windshield-projected colour Active Driving Display keeps important information in the driver's line of sight.


Interior comfort reaches new heights with ventilated front seats for summer comfort and heated rear seats for passenger convenience in winter. The auto-dimming frameless rearview mirror with HomeLink adds both style and functionality, while drivers can choose between rich black or warm terracotta leather interiors to suit their personal taste.


The exterior stands out with distinctive 19-inch alloy wheels featuring a premium machine-cut finish, while advanced safety features like Front Cross Traffic Alert and Mazda Online Navigation add confidence and convenience to every journey.


Safety Across All Trims


Every CX-50 Hybrid comes equipped with comprehensive safety features:

  • i-Activsense safety technologies
  • Smart Brake Support with pedestrian detection
  • Mazda Radar Cruise Control
  • Lane Departure Warning System
  • Blind Spot Monitoring
  • New Private eCall emergency assistance
  • Stolen Vehicle Assistance
