AWD confidence for Delaware weather
i-Activ AWD monitors dozens of inputs to predict and respond to changing traction—helpful in wet leaves on Marsh Rd or a slushy shoulder near Yorklyn—and Off-Road mode helps on rutted lots and trailheads.²³
2026 Mazda CX-50 FAQ
Is the screen a touchscreen or knob-only?
The 10.25" display supports touch functionality for Apple CarPlay/Android Auto on applicable trims/conditions; the Mazda Commander remains for eyes-up inputs.²⁷
Do Turbo models require premium fuel

Turbo: up to 3,500 lb when properly equipped; 2.5 S: up to 2,000 lb. Use Mi-Drive Towing on Turbo and the proper hitch/wiring/brake controller.²³⁴
How is CX-50 different from CX-5?
The CX-50 is your adventure-ready companion (stance, chassis tune, accessories), while the CX-5 skews more urban/sophisticated—two audiences, both strong options depending on your drive.⁹
