The Mazda CX-50 Hybrid is where smart efficiency meets the spirited driving character Mazda is known for. With an estimated 38 combined city/highway mpg and up to 219 total system horsepower, the CX-50 Hybrid proves you don’t have to sacrifice performance to go greener. And with the distinction of being assembled right here in the United States, it’s a vehicle you can feel good about in more ways than one. At Palm Springs Mazda, your premier Mazda dealer in Cathedral City, CA, we invite drivers from across the Coachella Valley to discover why the CX-50 Hybrid is one of the most compelling new SUVs on the road today.
Mazda has always stood apart from the mainstream, and the CX-50 Hybrid is no exception. Unlike hybrid crossovers that feel disconnected and numb to drive, the CX-50 Hybrid retains the responsive, driver-focused character that defines every Mazda. The hybrid system — pairing a 2.5L Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine with an electric motor — delivers power smoothly and intuitively, whether you’re accelerating onto I-10 in Palm Desert or navigating Cathedral City streets at lower speeds. The result is an SUV that feels alive in your hands while stretching every gallon of fuel further than any standard CX-50.
The estimated 38 combined mpg makes the CX-50 Hybrid one of the most fuel-efficient SUVs in its class — a meaningful advantage for Coachella Valley drivers who put real miles on their vehicles year-round.
The Mazda CX-50 and CX-50 Hybrid are assembled in Huntsville, Alabama — making them part of a growing commitment to American manufacturing. If buying American-made matters to you, browse our American Made inventory to see CX-50 and CX-50 Hybrid models currently in stock at Palm Springs Mazda.
The CX-50 Hybrid wears Mazda’s KODO design language with confidence. Its wide, low stance, bold front fascia, and muscular character lines give it an outdoor-adventure presence that’s equally at home pulling into a restaurant in Rancho Mirage or a trailhead in Joshua Tree. Available two-tone paint options and premium wheel designs allow you to personalize your CX-50 Hybrid without sacrificing cohesion. This is a crossover that turns heads — not because it’s trying to, but because it simply looks right.
Select A feature-rich starting point with Mazda’s i-ACTIVSENSE® safety suite, an 8.8-inch center display, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and the full hybrid drivetrain. The Select offers remarkable value for a vehicle this refined.
Preferred Adds heated front seats, a larger 10.25-inch infotainment display, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, and additional comfort and convenience features — all the everyday luxuries that make every commute more enjoyable.
Premium Steps up with genuine leather upholstery, a premium Bose® audio system, a power liftgate, and available Driver Assistance features. The Premium is the sweet spot for drivers who want it all without going to the very top.
Premium Plus The top of the CX-50 Hybrid lineup. Features include a head-up display, a 360-degree surround-view monitor, front and rear parking sensors, the full suite of Mazda’s advanced driver-assist technology, and the most refined interior in the lineup. Learn more about all CX-50 Hybrid trims and features.
Every CX-50 Hybrid is available with Mazda’s i-ACTIV AWD® system, which monitors road conditions and proactively distributes torque before wheel slip can occur — rather than reacting after the fact. For Coachella Valley drivers, that means confident traction on wet desert roads after a monsoon storm, on mountain grades heading toward Big Bear or Idyllwild, and on any road condition the California desert throws your way.
What sets the CX-50 Hybrid apart from other hybrid crossovers is how it drives. Mazda’s G-Vectoring Control Plus (GVC Plus) system continuously adjusts engine torque during cornering, subtly shifting weight to the front wheels to improve turn-in response and stability — giving the CX-50 Hybrid a connected, confident feel that rivals vehicles costing far more. The chassis is tuned for driver engagement, and every input from the wheel and pedals delivers honest, satisfying feedback. The CX-50 Hybrid doesn’t just get you from A to B — it makes the journey genuinely enjoyable.
The CX-50 Hybrid’s interior is designed to put the most important things in reach and keep distractions at a minimum. Mazda’s available 10.25-inch widescreen center display with a rotary commander control puts navigation, audio, and phone functions at your fingertips without cluttering the dashboard. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come standard across all trims. The available head-up display projects speed, navigation, and safety alerts directly into your line of sight — so your eyes stay on the road.
The available Bose® 12-speaker premium audio system is engineered specifically for the CX-50 Hybrid’s cabin acoustics, delivering clear, rich sound whether you’re streaming music on Highway 111 or sitting in traffic on the way to La Quinta.
Mazda has more IIHS Top Safety Pick+ awards than any other brand — and has been recognized by Consumer Reports as the safest new-car brand. The CX-50 Hybrid carries forward that legacy with Mazda’s standard i-ACTIVSENSE® driver-assist suite, which includes Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Lane-Keep Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Front Cross Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Smart Brake Support, and Driver Attention Alert. On available upper trims, 360-degree surround-view monitoring and front/rear parking sensors add an additional layer of confidence when maneuvering in tight spaces.
Both are outstanding crossovers built on the same foundation, but the choice comes down to priorities. The standard Mazda CX-50 delivers available turbocharged performance and a more traditional powertrain experience. The CX-50 Hybrid offers the same capable, attractive platform with the added benefit of significantly improved fuel economy — making it the smarter daily-driver choice for most buyers. If you want even more space and available plug-in capability for longer electric-only range, the CX-70 PHEV and CX-90 PHEV are worth exploring. Our team is happy to walk you through the full electrified Mazda lineup.
