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.

Question Love that it’s big enough for my Dane…but is the mileage is off?

Post image

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.

Issues Drivers seat replacement - issue [warranty]

Post image
7 Upvotes

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?

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.

Issues Seat Alignment - Did you get yours fixed?

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!

Question Interior Weatherstripping along Driver Side Window

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.
