2025 Mazda CX-50 Premium Plus Hybrid

The Mazda was the subject of a review on Pirate Radio in Greeley:“The 2025 Mazda CX-50 is an impressive crossover that blends style, efficiency, and practicality. Its eye-catching “Ingot” deep blue paint adds a premium touch, making it stand out on the road. The smooth CVT transmission, enhanced with paddle shifting, offers a refined driving experience, whether you’re cruising through town or hitting the highway. Fuel efficiency is outstanding, consistently delivering over 37 mpg in all driving conditions—an exceptional feat for a vehicle in this class. Despite its sub-$42k price tag, the CX-50 comes generously equipped with features that elevate comfort and convenience.

Among its standout amenities, the flatbed phone charging pad, located somewhat inconspicuously under the center console access doors, eliminates the need to charge your device before leaving home, while seamless Apple CarPlay integration enhances connectivity on the go. The thoughtful addition of power folding exterior mirrors – that automatically signal the vehicle is locked – provides an extra layer of security and convenience. With its combination of efficiency, tech-forward features, and stylish design, the 2025 Mazda CX-50 proves to be a well-rounded and compelling choice in the crossover segment.”
