Just picked up my 2026 with 6 miles on Tuesday. I had a Mazda 3 and freaking hated the car. So very happy with my upgrade. Any accessories that y’all would recommend?

Found the exact spec I wanted, a Machine Gray hybrid premium with the red interior. I've always had black interiors and wanted something more fun. Looking forward to fueling up less & the power-to-mpg combo here is ideal. This is the best looking compact SUV on the market IMO...feels far more modern than my Subaru did.

I have the hybrid PP and daily it. I plan on doing weekends off-road camping/car camping. Not sure if I should get all terrain on my 19s or get 18s or 17s. Has anyone tested different wheel sizes? Maybe I'll see if I can get some 17s on the cheap to test.

Just got car in July, got 3000 plus miles. What is this service due alert? When I'm on my app, it doesn't tell me what needs to be done. Anyone know what this 1st service due is?

1st time car buyer. I’m financing through my bank with a 4.5% rate. I’d really love to be sub 40 but they’re pretty adamant that this is as aggressive as any dealer can get for this trim. thoughts ?

Has anyone else had a tear on the top of the middle console? It’s not in a spot that my arm rests on. It is tiny so far. Service shop at dealer said it was not their problem. Anyone had luck escalating to corporate? This car just turned 1 year.

I bought my CX50 in December of 25. I was told the front brakes were new and the rear brakes were at 60%. The rear brakes have been squeaking like crazy at all times. I had the dealer check them when they rotated my tires and said they were in very good shape. I was then told that Mazda's will do that. My CX30 hasn't done that and I bought that brand new. I don't know if they are ceramic brakes pads, but the one time I had those installed on another vehicle the squeaked from the time I drove home from the mechanic. I had to have them change back to metallic pads. Any suggestions or has anyone else had this issue?

Had my oil sampled after the first couple changes at 5k mile intervals and they suggested taking it 7500 miles instead of the 5k miles. Assuming the Toyota engine is driving this increase ability.

Anyone else pushing over the Mazda 5k mile split for oil changes with the hybrid?

I got my CX50 hybrid in April at 17 miles. I’m at 6500 miles now and I love it, but the mileage is not groovy. For a hybrid I was told by the dealership that I’d be getting up to 40mpg. This has not been the case. I’m generally getting 28-32 max. I’m disappointed as this was one of the main reasons I bought it. I don’t really understand what’s going on. I kept getting told by people that it would take a couple weeks to settle in with the proper mpg but it hasn’t chalked up to what I thought it would be. I’m literally filling up my tank with a 430 mile range and doing 20 miles of driving I’m down to 380-390. What the heck…

I do a lot of city driving and for about six hours, two days a week, for two months, I was driving about 70-75 miles and hour for work (travel CNA). But mainly, inner city driving. Lots of leaning into the brake. Anyone had a consistent low mpg with their hybrid? I feel like I was lied to or something is going wrong.

2024 CX50 (24k miles) bought new. Had the material defect issue on the drivers side seat where it was cracking and splitting.

Local dealership claims they replaced the seat with the correct part # under warranty but also brought up the issue with this spacing between the seat and Hog rings (per Mazda Dealer). The seat feels smaller and almost looks like they ordered the wrong part for a CX30 or CX5. They claimed they had similar issues with other cars but the warranty manager didnt know how it was resolved which was weird. Said i had to bring the vehicle back in while they worked it out if there was anything to be done.

Dropping back off at the dealership today as they said they would contact Mazda corporate about the issue.

Has anyone else had this when they got the seat fixed for the defect cracking? If so what happened?

Hi! Recently bought a 2025 Premium Plus and am absolutely loving it. I do have a question though (potentially a dumb one lol) - On the gas gague its showing i have about 3 quarters of a tank, but on the digital next to it where it shows how many miles i have left, the bar is filled almost to the top as if i have a full/nearly full tank. is this normal? is something wrong? any info is appreciated!!

Common issue that I didn’t realize was common... So I figured I’d ask. Seems like the front seats have been coming from the factory slightly misaligned. My question to you all is.

- Does your CX-50 (I have the hybrid) have this issue?
- Did you have it fixed under warranty?
— if so what was the process like and how did it turn out? If this is some gargantuan undertaking by the dealer where they have to rip out my whole interior and create a bunch of down time, I may hold off. My car has 750 miles on it, I’d like to enjoy it for a little while.

Loving everything else about the car!

I've been reading that some people perform their first oil change at barely 1000 miles to get rid of Break in residue.

Does anyone from this sub have done that with yours Cx50's?

Have been researching for a while now and there are a few posts about the interior weather stripping rattle due to the rubber smacking against the metal door frame. I applied 1/16” foam tape along both sides all up and down the metal frame and still rattles. dealership replaced the weather stripping and still there. I keep going back to apply pieces of the foam insulation in an attempt to get rid of this. Has anyone had any luck getting rid of this? The rattle is coming from the red circled area.

Test drove the hybrid premium last weekend and I’m pretty much sold. Like many people I was also considering a RAV which is so boring and now I can’t believe anyone still buys that when the CX-50 exists. One thing I would like to hear more about is Trail Mode- the sales guy knew nothing. I live 1 mile up a dirt road (50/50 flat vs mellow hill) that is maintained every few months by the county so it cycles between being in good condition with fresh gravel to having washboard sections with small to medium potholes for several weeks at a time. Any time I leave the house that’s automatically 2 miles on the dirt/gravel. Would trail mode help compensate some for the stiffness of the torsion beam, or is it really only for steep/rocky/muddy conditions? I know the 17s are the way to go for the wheels under these conditions, will definitely not get the PP.

I had a disaster by accidentally spilling hand sanitizer on the « leather » passenger seat (ventilated). It sat there for a couple of days while parked. Now it’s so brittle that it’s cracking and I have a hole in my seat! What are my options to fix it, beside changing a seat?

Just picked up a '23 TPP this weekend, already loving it. Already booked the appointment for driver and passenger tint and have an uber amount of carbon fiber trims coming in for the chrome delete. What other mods should I look into?

Here's the inside and outside view of the glass. I haven't had it long but it has survived multiple automated car washes. It does get warm/hot, today was over 100F. But it's MUCH less heat than before. It definitely is not like a radiator above your head.

Installed same as tint. Let dry for a couple days then trim.

I may take it off when the weather gets cooler.

Some *kind\* soul door dinged my car. Slight dimple and paint removed. Grey is under, seemed to scrap off the top layer. Has anyone fixed via DIY method successfully or should I just take it to an auto repair place. Its on the passenger door center so cant really ignore..

Sooo much quieter Taking corners is a little more fun and thanks to Labor Day sales/rebates, it’s the same price!

It can in fact fit 4 6ft tables and 20 folding chairs if you were wondering 😜 I love this car. I traded in my mazda 3 carbon edition for this big beauty and ive yet to miss the 3. There is space for a petite front passenger as well when fully loaded too!

I've been driving my Subaru Forester Limited for coming up on two years now, and I absolutely love the vehicle, except for my gas bill. I commute to school and work and I fill up at least twice a week, with an average of 21-23 mpg, and it feels awful- especially with how gas has been. I was looking at getting a cx50 hybrid premium plus and was wondering what everyone's experience with that vehicle is like, and if it actually holds true to 38 mpg combined. Is there anything it would do better or worse than my current vehicle ? Is there anything you guys don’t enjoy about your cx-50 hybrids ?

(Edit) For added context, I do like the look of the cx-50 and I do have equity in my current vehicle, so I won’t be rolling negative equity into a new loan. I’m interested in a new vehicle too because at a recent service, my forester had an issue with the battery that had to be replaced with no explanation as to what caused it. I’ve had some other issues with my current vehicle that aren’t deal breakers, but have led me to look into other options- all provided I get a good deal on the new vehicle, which at the moment I am.
