The 2025 Mazda CX-50 GT AWD is a rugged, driver-focused compact SUV that blends upscale interior craftsmanship with athletic handling. The CX-50 has been the most handsome kid in the class since it arrived on the scene a few years ago. The long hood, wide stance, and relatively low roofline give it proportions that read as slightly more wagon than SUV, resulting in a practical vehicle that doesn’t look like just another transportation appliance, much like the new Volkswagen Tiguan. On this GT-trim tester, the CX-50 wears 20-inch wheels, with a subtle blend of brightwork and black accents that complement its confident shape without devolving into bling. It’s a design that looks expensive; more so than some luxury-branded rivals.
Things are no different inside the CX-50. The cabin feels properly upscale, with an emphasis on quality materials and thoughtful, simple design; it’s almost a distinctly Japanese take on Volvo’s pathologically uncluttered school of thought. The dashboard design is clean and purposeful, and the fit and finish of the whole cabin, from its soft leathers, metallic accents, and contrasting cross-stitching to tie it all together, rival the best in the business. Some people loathe Mazda’s Human-Machine-Interface, which relies on a rotary knob, a small volume knob, and a few key shortcut buttons for most infotainment control. These people are incorrect. While I do appreciate that Mazda has enabled touch support on the CX-50’s screen if you want to use it, I much more appreciate that the screen isn’t supposed to be the star of the show, and that the physical controls on the centre console can be operated blind.
The CX-50 is powered by a well-proven sweetheart of an engine, the SkyActiv-G 2.5-Litre inline-four.
Wrap it up
The 2025 Mazda CX-50 GT AWD stands out not because it does anything all that differently, but because it does the fundamentals so well. It’s beautifully designed, meticulously built, and genuinely enjoyable to drive. It brings a sense of sophistication that’s rare in the compact SUV segment, and it does so without crossing into sophisticated pricing. Stacked against its rivals, the CX-50 makes a compelling case. It’s about as practical, and considerably more rewarding behind the wheel. For drivers who need something “normal” that still feels special, the CX-50 GT is a standout, and arguably one of the best crossovers you can buy today.
