Are you looking for a reliable and comfortable SUV that can handle any terrain? Look no further than the 2023 Mazda CX-5 and CX-50. Both models offer excellent performance, safety features, and a luxurious interior, but there are also differences between them in terms of size, design, and pricing. Let's dive in and discuss the key differences between these two Mazda crossover SUVs.


Size Differences

The 2023 Mazda CX-50 is larger than the 2023 Mazda CX-5 in terms of length (185.8 in. vs 180.1 in.) and width (75.6 in. vs 72.6 in.) but not height (63.5 in. vs 65.4 in.). This extended wheelbase of 115 mm offers several benefits, such as less tire housing, a wide rear seat armrest and larger door openings, allowing passengers to enter and exit with ease while ensuring a comfortable ride even on lengthy journeys!


Design Differences

The 2023 Mazda CX-50 was crafted with those who lead active and outdoor lifestyles in mind. It provides the luxury design, outstanding performance and reliable driving dynamics that characterize all Mazda vehicles, but also goes a step further with its ability to traverse different terrain, unlocking new areas of exploration for customers.


"The world-class design and dynamic driving performance of the CX-50 on and off-road makes it unique in the compact SUV segment and within our own line-up, and will support the CX-30 and CX-5 in offering consumers even more choice for every diverse lifestyle," said David Klan, President and CEO, Mazda Canada Inc. "More than ever, our customers are looking for a vehicle that can do more and take them further, and CX-50 will answer the call."


Pricing Differences

The 2023 Mazda CX-5 and the 2023 Mazda CX-50 differ in price. The former starts at $31,250, while the latter begins at a slightly higher rate of $38,250. This small difference reflects the extra features that come with the CX-50, such as its signature natural driving experience, as well as i-Activ AWD technology, Mi-Drive and new drive modes for superior performance on various terrains.


If you need more space or want to explore different terrain, then the 2023 Mazda CX-50 is the right choice. But if a smaller size and affordability are what you're looking for, then go with the 2023 Mazda CX-5. Whichever SUV you choose, you can't go wrong with a Mazda!
