Auto123 gets in a first drive of the 2023 Mazda CX-50, the new SUV that officially invites weekend warriors to the Japanese brand.
Montreal, QC - With spring gradually taking hold, it's time for folks to start hitting the road, both paved and not, for a bit of weekend adventuring. And that's exactly who the new 2023 Mazda CX-50 is designed for. This is the Japanese automaker's most robust product since the Tribute and B-Series left the scene .
In any event, the setting for our introduction to a GT Turbo version of the 2023 CX-50 was a rainy day in March. Those who have already identified this as their next vehicle, take note: the CX-50 should debut at dealership sometime in early May.Photo: D.Boshouwers 2023 Mazda CX-50, front grille Operation charm
The upright front fascia is definitely more aggressive than any other CX model; the CX-50 also features distinctive rally-car-like bulging fenders, a facet accentuated by the black plastic fender flares. The headlights look more functional with their squarer shape. The presence of black plastic in the rocker panels and the overall silhouette of the CX-50 both help emphasize even further the message that this here is an adventure-minded vehicle.
Generally speaking, the CX-50's interior is well put-together, attractive and well-lit. To that end, Mazda is using this new model to introduce its very first panoramic roof.This first contact allowed us to confirm that the book largely matches the cover in this case: the CX-50 can handle itself in a multitude of situations.

The SUV has a towing capacity of 3,500 lb , which we able to put to the test on this day, a trailer weighing just under that allowable limit being hooked up to the vehicle. Obviously, with such a weight at the rear, the vehicle's behavior changes a lot, especially during acceleration and even more when braking, and this, despite the presence of a trailer brake.
