2026 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid Driving Near Woods

Last year, the overwhelming popularity of the Mazda CX-50 led to the introduction of a hybrid variation. And this year, the 2026 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid rides a wave of well-deserved accolades into its sophomore season. Outstanding gas mileage and range, an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award, and unique Mazda driving dynamics make this hybrid crossover a special automobile. It’s a strong presence in the Sentry West Mazda showroom.

Power and Performance

All three 2026 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid trims equip a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and three electric motors. This system is paired with an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission and Electronic All-Wheel Drive, forming a powertrain that achieves 219 total horsepower, great fuel economy, and an EPA-estimated total driving range of 551 miles.

Behind the wheel of this Mazda hybrid SUV, you’ll also benefit from Mazda Intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive™). It boasts two dynamic drive modes: Power mode for a burst of instantaneous acceleration, and Trail mode when the road calls for enhanced grip and traction.

Towing and Cargo

Along with a maximum towing capacity of 1,500 lbs, the 2026 Mazda CX-50 is great for carrying cargo. With the second-row seats in place, there’s a 31.4-cubic-foot storage space in the rear—and with the second row folded down, this space grows to 56.3 cubic feet. There are also numerous places for small-item storage, including the overhead console, center console armrest, and front and rear door pockets.

Safety

With a 2025 IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award in its trophy case, you know the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid is an exceptionally safe compact SUV. In fact, eight Mazda vehicles have earned this accolade—more than any other car brand. Integral to this sterling safety record is i-Activsense® technology, a suite of next-gen driver assistance systems that our Shrewsbury, MA, Mazda dealers will introduce you to. It includes Blind-Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Lane-Departure Warning, which activates at speeds above 40 mph.
