Mazda CX-50 Hybrid

For the 2026 model year, the Mazda CX-50 gets two new trim levels and a pricing shakeup; it starts at $31,395 (including destination).

Driving a fuel-efficient hybrid vehicle can make you feel greener, but if you live where winter is more white than green, you might want to consider one of the hybrids that offer all-wheel drive.

An increasing number of vehicles with sticker prices of $40,000 or less, some much less, offer heated mirrors.

Like other Mazda CX-50s, the hybrid version is a sharp-handling, good-looking compact SUV — but the new hybrid powertrain thoroughly ruins the fun in favor of efficiency.
