The 2023 Mazda CX-50 can do more than get you further into nature — it can haul your equipment, too. Mazda’s new Mazda Intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) mode makes it easier than ever to confidently explore. From kayaks and small boats to bikes and light camping trailers, once in towing drive mode the CX-50’s 3,500-pound towing capacity will help you find new ways to spend time in nature.

Mazda offers two engine choices in the CX-50, both familiar from the CX-5. The standard engine is a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder that produces up to 187 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque. Mazda has not yet made that version available for testing.

The upgrade is a 2.5 liter, four-cylinder turbocharged engine that produces up to 256 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque. But there’s a catch. That requires the use of 93 octane gasoline. With standard 87 octane fuel, the engine produces 227 horsepower and 310-pound-feet of torque. It’s hard to know how many drivers will notice the difference, but it makes sense to use the higher grade gasoline if they tow with the CX-50.

Committed to creating a confident driving experience in every drive mode and on nearly every surface, Mazda approached towing with the driver in mind. Exclusive to turbo models, towing mode helps CX-50 maintain a smooth experience for more confidence while towing.
