2026 MAZDA CX-50 Fuel Economy Ratings By Model

All 2026 Mazda CX-50 trim levels feature standard i-ACTIV AWD®, helping you stay confident and in control on Rancho Cucamonga roads. Drivers can choose between a naturally aspirated 2.5L engine and a turbocharged variant, resulting in slightly different Mazda CX-50 miles-per-gallon figures:

  • MAZDA CX-50 2.5 S Select: 24 mpg city / 30 mpg highway
  • MAZDA CX-50 2.5 S Preferred: 24 mpg city / 30 mpg highway
  • MAZDA CX-50 2.5 S Meridian Edition: 24 mpg city / 30 mpg highway
  • MAZDA CX-50 2.5 S Premium: 24 mpg city / 30 mpg highway
  • MAZDA CX-50 2.5 Turbo: 23 mpg city / 29 mpg highway
  • MAZDA CX-50 2.5 Turbo Meridian Edition: 23 mpg city / 29 mpg highway
  • MAZDA CX-50 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus: 23 mpg city / 29 mpg highway

The Mazda CX-50 fuel economy takes a slight dip in the Turbo trims, but this is expected due to their increased power output. Nonetheless, these models are still remarkably efficient considering the thrilling performance they deliver. If gas mileage is your main concern, consider the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid options.
