We regard Mazda's SUVs highly as they offer an appealing blend of style, quality, and sophistication. However, they've never been thought of as rugged, capable off-roaders. This is a perception that Mazda wants to change and it has gotten to work doing just that with this, the new CX-50. It will be sold alongside the CX-5 but caters to customers with more adventurous lifestyles. To that end, the CX-50 boasts more rugged styling, a standard all-wheel-drive system, and high-strength roof rails to carry all your equipment to wherever you need to take it. It may not be a Land Rover but the CX-50 looks like a fine alternative to off-road-focused versions of the Toyota RAV4.

The CX-50 will use two familiar Skyactiv-G engines. Both are 2.5-liter four-cylinder units, although one is naturally aspirated and the other is turbocharged. Although Mazda hasn't announced outputs, we're well acquainted with these engines from other products in the brand's portfolio. In the CX-5, the base engine develops 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. The 2.5-liter turbo, meanwhile, produces up to 250 hp and 320 lb-ft. The latter should provide strong performance, although Mazda has stuck with a rather dated six-speed automatic transmission. More intriguingly, Mazda says that electrified powertrains are coming too, including a traditional hybrid..
