2026 Mazda CX-50

Explore the Mazda CX-50 at Mazda of Corpus Christi

The CX-50 is Mazda's answer for drivers who want a crossover built with the outdoors in mind, not just styled to look that way. Assembled in America at the Mazda Toyota Manufacturing plant in Huntsville, Alabama, it blends genuine rugged capability with the refined, engaging driving feel Mazda is known for. Mazda of Corpus Christi carries the CX-50 for South Texas drivers who split time between city errands and weekend trips toward the coast or the hill country.

A New Meridian Edition on the Standard Engine

New for 2026, the CX-50 2.5 S Meridian Edition brings the model's adventurous spirit to the naturally aspirated powertrain for the first time, rather than requiring the turbo engine as in years past. It features gloss black Mazda emblems and gloss black badges for CX-50, AWD, and Skyactiv-G, giving it a distinct look without changing what's under the hood.

Standard i-Activ AWD With Sport and Off-Road Drive Modes

Every CX-50 2.5 S model comes standard with i-Activ AWD and Mazda Intelligent Drive Select, or Mi-Drive, with Sport and Off-Road modes built in. That standard capability is part of what separates the CX-50 from crossovers that treat all-wheel drive as an expensive add-on.

A Larger Dual Exhaust for the 2.5 Turbo

The 2026 CX-50 2.5 Turbo builds on the conveniences of the 2.5 S Premium trim, but adds larger dual exhaust pipes suited to the turbocharged powertrain along with a number of additional features. It's the version we'd point toward for drivers who want more responsive acceleration without stepping up to a different model.

Up to 3,500 Pounds of Towing With Available Towing Mode

CX-50 Turbo models can tow up to 3,500 pounds when the available towing mode is activated, a detail worth knowing for anyone planning to haul a small trailer or personal watercraft. Towing mode is available on select trims and requires a Genuine Mazda hitch.

Black Leather or a New White Interior on 2.5 S Premium

For 2026, the CX-50 2.5 S Premium trim adds value with black leather seats and 20-inch black metallic, machine-finish alloy wheels with all-season tires, or the choice of a new White Interior Option featuring white leather seats, 20-inch silver alloy wheels, and silver roof rails. It's a meaningful style choice for shoppers who want the Premium trim's equipment with a different look.

A Rugged Stance Built for Off-Pavement Confidence

The CX-50's wider stance and standard Off-Road drive mode within Mi-Drive are built for drivers who actually leave the pavement, whether that's a gravel road out toward the coast or a sandy access route. It's a genuinely different personality from Mazda's more street-focused crossovers, without sacrificing the composed handling the brand is known for on the way there.

Comprehensive Standard Safety and Driver Assistance

Every CX-50 comes equipped with a robust suite of standard and available safety and driver assistance technology, part of the reason the model continues to deliver strong value alongside its distinct styling and rugged capability.
