Pretty damn good for a crossover this large with a 2.5T! Proof you don’t need 1.27L turbo 3-cylinders, CVT’s or 10-speed automatics to get competitive fuel economy!
Honda odyssey with a 3.5L V6 and 10 speed automatic - a van with over 4600 pounds had better in his MPG test than this CX50.
You're kidding right? mpg sucks and will cost you a small fortune for the lifetime of the vehicle compared with competition.
Mine is getting 20.3 in the Northeast. My 2019 Mustang GT Premium got 23 mpg. Mixed highway and city. ~1,600 miles on it so far.
I like how squatty and wide the CX-50 looks compared to the more rounded CX-5
Glad to see that this vehicle did well in this test. Very curious as to how the hybrid will be.
2024 made the steering lighter and softer suspension. Fixed what people were complaining about in only one year. That’s extremely impressive
Agreed, I'm very much looking forward to trying it
I just did a long highway trip at a steady 79 mph. Fuel used between fill-ups indicated 28.4 mpg, while the onboard computer indicated 26.6 mpg. The car has about 2.5k miles on the odometer.
22 cx5 signature here I use radar cc all the time on freeway and get 20mpg freeway. I wish I got your kind of mileage going that speed
@@rrange radar cc is actually less efficient than regular cc. Regular you can cancel and coast instead of braking. Idk if you can disable adaptive or not but i can in my subaru and i get about 2 mpg better than the adaptive. Also set your follow distance to the maximum because whats probably happening is the car is trying to keep up and brake, keep up then brake. Adaptive cruise is currently really poor with predicting what we can. Like we can see a mile ahead and start to slow down gradually while adaptive cruise will keep going and brake when it needs to. I rather save the gas and not trust the tech on doing the braking for me.
You drove the base CX-50? No TPP gets anything above 23mpg anywhere. You guys need to start telling people the truth & stop trying to cozy up to Manufacturers.
@@Hallowsaw The adaptive cruise on the CX-50 can be disabled, but only through the menu system. It defaults to 'on' whenever the engine is started. If you're on a road trip and need to make a pit stop, you need to go back into the menu system to disable it again. Would have been nice if Mazda had provided a pushbutton to disable ACC like it did for the iStop. Maybe a future software/firmware can address it since there a few unused pushbuttons on the dash, depending on the trim level. I have a turbo premium and there are two or three unused pushbuttons.
This is great news. I just got mine and only have about 200 miles on the odometer
need video of N/A mazda 2.5L CX5 or CX-50 to see how the natural aspirated model performs in mpg
73 degrees on an 83 degree day!? You are a mad man.
It’s actually closer to 28.5 mpg if you have 3 passengers and full a trunk.
I've had a 2024 CX-50 turbo premium for about three weeks now...really like it. My only nit is the adaptive cruise control...seems to be a little heavy on the braking...I don't like it. Unlike the iStop, the adaptive cruise cannot be disabled with a simple pushbutton...you need to go into the menu system to turn it off, and it defaults to 'on' every time you start the engine. Problem where I live is that any time there's a gap between you and the car in front, some idiot will always jump in front of you no matter how short the gap is...adaptive cruise control is pretty much useless until that driver increases speed. Other than that, the CX-50 is pretty damn good.
How's the road noise on the high way? Seems pretty quiet
Impressive
Overall Mazda MPG is like performance cars. CX5 or 50 consume like a German brands but the output is halfway. In this price range and segment the MPG should be optimized.
Hello Daily Motor
Hi Daily Motor
DM, Would the mpg have been better with Premium for this turbo model? Any idea when the CX-50s using Toyota Hybrid drivetrains are due?
Not really but i felt it runs smoother.
So, you didn't mention it in the video but I saw on the pump you were using 87 octane. At least in my experience with 3 different 2.5T powered Mazdas at this point, you'd get a little better with 91+ octane. Still, good results and thanks for the video!
Very well may be true! But the cost would vastly outweigh the mpg bump. Thanks!
You would have to at minimum get 3mpg better on a regular basis to compensate for the price difference between premium and regular. Is that the case?
@@Hallowsaw No, but that's not what I'm saying. This isn't a MP$ video, it's a MPG video.
@@grumpychocobo if people are looking for mpg it implies cost to run.
@@grumpychocobo - in that case, one should also consider ethanol-free gasoline, which has a higher energy density, and will get better MPGs. Of course one would have to run the tank nearly empty before performing such tests, to ensure that one is burning the premium fuel during the road test, and not a lower grade blend.
Will you be doing a detailed review of the audio system.
I do the speed limit just so I can enjoy more time in the car (with the benefit of better mpg). You didn’t ask for it, but here’s my two cents after four days with it. It’s really clear, you can hear a lot of detail in most recordings. It really depends on the mastering of the artist. There are times when I’m like “wow, this sounds phenomenal.” There are also times where I’m like “I wish it had a little bit stronger mid bass/high bass.” Speaking if bass, I turned mine down a click or two, it’s a bit strong on “0”. Overall, it definitely sounds way better than your average system. I really like how you can go into the settings and adjust the listening position to “entire car” or “driver’s seat”, which brings the soundstage up in front of you and “directs”, through digital wizardry, the sound to the drivers ears for better clarity. I personally use the drivers seat setting and then bring the fader up to the front a few clicks. To conclude, I really enjoy the system, and you can still hear it pretty well while cruising at 75mph.
@@clutch7366 Thanks for the detailed response
I did hear that the cx50 does really in city driving though.
Ok so 2022 Mazda CX-5 signature owner here, mine has the turbo. 5months of ownership and I have 5k miles on it. I’m always averaging 17-19mpg!! On the highway it’ll get to 20mpg..rarely does it get it 21 or 22mpg. I took a 180 mile round trip road trip and it took forever to get to 22mpg on the first leg of the trip and it got 23mpg on the way back but only for about 30mins then dropped back down to 20mpg. I created a Reddit account to speak with fellow cx5 owners and most turbo owners complain of the same think. I used to own a 76 gas station so I’ve tested gasoline in all my leased cars and fuel grade matters! I used 87 grade fuel a few weeks ago for 2 consecutive weeks and I got 15.2mpg for 2 weeks! Then I switched back to 91 and got back up to my normal mileage. I spoke with some cx50 owners on Reddit who don’t have the turbo it was the premium plus 2.5s package and they’re also getting 21 combined. WHY WAS MY 2017 MERCEDES BENZ C43 AMG SEDAN MORE FUEL EFFICIENT??
I just got back from a 2300 mile road trip in my 2022 Signature and averaged 28mpg. Not sure how you can be averaging 20 on the highway. I only go as low as 20 when it’s all stop and go city driving.
how fast are u driving?
I have a 2021 CX-5 Turbo and average about 23 city and 30 highway and only use 87. This is over 12.5k miles. I used 91 for a while, saw zero difference in mpg. Overall average is 27 mpg. Your low mpg is probably due to driving style and/or frequent short trips!
@@butch8792 radar cruise control 70mph
@@BrandonG8Man wow lucky you man! For example, I go to my sisters 2-3 times a week and she lives 13miles away and it’s all highway and I always get 20mpg. I always use radar cruise control set at 70mph. I began taking off slower not going into the turbo and I still can’t get anything over 19-20 in the city
I wanted you to do city driving too
My family recently got a new CX-30. Does your Carplay not work with the radio at the same time? I wanted to put Google Maps on but everytime I put it on, it turns off the sound from the radio and plays sound from the phone.
Sounds like bad software design on Google’s part… which is typical for Google. Use Apple Maps and you won’t have that problem (nor will you be tracked).
The worst that happens with Apple Maps is, from time to time, it’ll interrupt the audio to speak turn directions to you (but that can be turned off).
It seems like every vehicle you test beats EPA. The CX5 is rated at 27 highway and you tested it at 32-33 as well if I recall correctly.
Because in EPA tests the car has to accelerate/brake multiple times, this increases fuel consumption.
22 cx5 signature owner here and I’m going crazy with horrible mpg. I get 16-20mpg combined, I don’t pass 2k rpm when accelerating, use radar cruise control set at 70-72mph all the time, only use 91octane. I used 87 octane for 2 weeks and got 15-16mpg for two straight weeks
@@rrange either your radar cruise is set too short of a following distance, you have a lemon or your car needs a wicked tune up because of neglect. It has to be one of those. No reason for you to be getting that mileage. Did you go to mazda and have them service it and check it out?
What is the mileage of this car?
Rogue turbo mpg?
Does the car actually show you get about 500+ miles in the dashboard when its fully filled?
I just got mine last week, it shows 400 miles after first fill up
Mazda always beating MPG expectations
Audi q8 would be really nice
Can someone clarify please, Is premium fuel recommended for the Turbo cx 50??? or regular is fine??
Regular is fine, but it will make slightly less power.
@@DailyMotorand this power decrease is very minor, hardly able to notice unless you require the extra 23hp and 10tq
Right, I'd always run regular. Maybe a tank of V-Power every few thousand miles as a detergent. And always if towing.@@benoverload3130
Cx9 gets pretty bad gas mileage compared to other midsized 7 seater crossover. It get 20 to 23 comparable to some v8 full size suvs i hope you can test one so we could see what it can really get cx9 has some of the best values out there.
22 cx5 signature here who always gets 17-20mpg combined 🤔🧐
Is that cheating the mpg test by turning on the Air Conditioner? The A/C sucks fuel like no tomorrow.
since 2008 the EPA mileage test has a portion that uses air conditioning.

Not if its always done and most people ride with it on
How/why are other Reddit users who have cx50 turbos reporting 20mpg highway. Lots of them use radar cruise control
I’m one of those. Mpg sucks on mine.
@@reece758 radar guided cruise control revs up and down a lot best mpg is a consistent rpm. Dont use it and you’ll get better
I’d like to see how much the fuel economy drops at 75 or 80. Unfortunately that’s the speed that you need to maintain to avoid getting run over.
I got that car 2 weeks ago and so far I got 22 mpg Highway...really disappointed !!
New video comment!
Buick envior or encore Gx. Needs to be considered
Low luxury brand.
Many thinks is better than maxda
Mazdas are great and all but they sacrifice a ton for a "fun" car.
Most are bottom of the bunch in cargo space, meh of gas mileage and not too soft of a ride.
Just like I didn't give the Koreans a pass for starting the headlight placement trend, I won't give Mazda a pass for the ungodly amount of plastic cladding they put in most of their vehicles.
That's okay, stick with your half baked nissan.
@@Hallowsaw Yah I don't know how you came to that conclusion, but I don't blame you for trying smooth brain.
That’s ok the Korean cars sell just fine without you
I don't know WTF you're driving but all your calculations are way way ridiculously inflated. I have a T PP & it's best milage is 23 on octane 93, & tankfull is max 320 miles.
I really like this car but the 48 - 52 mpg in this insight is the only thing left keeping me from switching.
