CX-50 line, as one of Mazda's new models, has made a lot of improvements in terms of appearance and power.
The exterior is full of highlights.
Mazda's "soul of motion" design concept has a long history, and the CX-50 line also reflects the latest design language and has a very high family flavor.
The exterior design of the new car follows the classic scheme, with the latest family-style front end in the same vein as the CX-5. The one-piece headlamps have a simple shape, and although they are not as sharp and dynamic as the Atez or CX-5, they are also quite refined.
From the side, the overall silhouette of the new car is similar to that of the CX-5, except that the rear is longer, and the black surround at the bottom of the body is thicker and more wild. The 19-inch two-tone wheels are generously shaped and paired with Goodyear tires in size 225/55R19.
In terms of body size, its length, width and height are 4785/1920/1638mm, and the wheelbase is 2815mm, which is considered a large compact SUV.
The taillights of the new car still continue the Mazda-style double-ring style light cluster, and at the moment when the through-type taillights are popular, the CX-50 line also looks quite chic with the traditional style taillights.
The interior design is on the conservative side.
Moving into the car, its overall interior design remains the same as the overseas version, but it looks more conservative in terms of design and technology.
The style of the steering wheel and instrument panel looks decent, but the combination instrument design with the central LCD screen + physical pointers on both sides looks quite retro.
The floating center console screen above the center console is 10.25 inches in size, and it supports CarPlay and CarLife phone mapping, which is also quite convenient to use. BOSE's 12-speaker audio system is only available on the top-of-the-line model.
In terms of equipment, adaptive cruise control with lane-keeping is standard on the CX-50 line, and Mazda also comes standard with i-ACTIVSENSE driver assistance system with active braking and other driver safety assistance features.
However, comfort-oriented features such as panoramic view, automatic air conditioning, intelligent car connectivity, and leather steering wheel are determined by the model version, and the lowest-spec models do not have these supporting features.
The floor in the middle of the rear row has a certain protrusion, but the longitudinal space is enough to fit the feet, and the protrusion is lower than that of the overseas version. The trunk space of this car is wide and regular, and the carrying capacity is good.
The chassis performed well.
The CX-50 line is also powered by a 2.5-liter engine, with a 2.0-liter engine with a maximum power of 155 hp and a maximum torque of 200 Nm, in addition to the 2.5-liter version listed above.
The power output of Mazda brand models has always been very close, and this car is no exception, the throttle and brake are very linear, giving people an obedient feeling.
If you step on the accelerator to test the car, you will find that its transmission downshifts are decisive and aggressive, and it does not have the languid feeling of a "family" SUV.
However, the maximum torque of 250 Nm can only be said to be enough at the moment when the motor is rampant, and if you want to get enough acceleration feeling, you still need to pull up the rpm.
In general, the power combination performance of 2.5L+6AT is still worth affirming, and a naturally aspirated model that is easy to drive can make you find a lot of driving pleasure.
The car has a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear. The suspension performance is the focus of everyone's attention, and its performance is also worthy of recognition, the small bumps are fully resolved, and the stability of the body in the face of large potholes and undulations is also good. The noise from the engine is not too loud when cruising, and the noise mainly comes from wind noise and road noise.
