Mazda appears to have fixed what we didn't like about the compact SUV, but at a cost.
We just wrapped up our yearlong loan with a Mazda CX-50 compact SUV, coming away with plenty of praise but a few lasting complaints about its ride quality on bigger wheels. Mazda appears to be addressing our concerns directly with
, which gets new dampers and an updated steering system, but it seems the price has also now gone up as a result.chief complaints during our long loan with the CX-50 were its steering weight and ride quality , which made us"uncomfortably familiar with the road imperfections, dips, potholes, and speed bumps in our neighborhood." It looks like both of which have now been directly addressed for the 2024 model year.
The current Mazda website lists the CX-50 S trim as unavailable, and it's not listed for the 2024 model year either, so it must be gone for good. That makes the 2.5 S Select trim the new base model, but the price for that trim has still gone up compared to last year. The base price for the CX-50 2.5 S Select trim now starts at $31,675 including destination—up from the outgoing base price of $28,925 for the S and $30,325 for the next-level S Select that's listed on the old Mazda website.
