Our team at knows that drivers need a vehicle that can handle a weekend trailhead run and a weekday commute with equal confidence. The 2026 Mazda CX-50 was designed with exactly that balance in mind, blending rugged capability with a refined driving experience. Learn about its capability at AutoNation Mazda Carlsbad.
Built for the Road Less Traveled
Every 2026 Mazda CX-50 comes standard with i-Activ AWD®, which continuously reads road conditions and adjusts power delivery to help maintain traction on gravel, wet pavement, or packed dirt. Mazda Intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) lets you toggle between Sport and Off-Road modes depending on where the day takes you.
The SKYACTIV®-G 2.5L engine delivers 187 horsepower in standard models, while the available turbocharged version pushes the maximum output to 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque for drivers who want more authority on winding coastal highways and inland grades. Towing capacity reaches up to 3,500 lbs when properly equipped.
Adventure-Ready Design
The Meridian Edition trims lean into the Mazda CX-50's outdoor personality with 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires, black roof rails, and distinctive hood graphics. Available crossbars support a rooftop platform designed for kayaks, bikes, or even a pop-up tent. Inside, up to 56.3 cubic feet of cargo space (with the second row folded) gives you room for gear without compromising the refined cabin Kodo Design® is known for.
Safety You Can Count On
The i-Activsense® safety suite comes standard across every trim. Features include:
- Blind Spot Monitoring
- Smart Brake Support
- Lane-keep Assist
