You already know you need an SUV to handle your calendar full of camping getaways, school events, road trips and everything in between. But you also love getting the best fuel economy you can -- we're talking gas mileage that traditionally was the exclusive realm of compact cars. So, what's out there that checks both of those very different boxes? One standout choice -- and in our opinion, the only worthwhile choice -- is the 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid.
The hybrid Mazda CX-50 takes the baseline goodness of the standard model and electrifies it for seriously impressive MPGs. Of course, it's not the only new SUV doing this. Competitors include the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 hybrids, but they don't match the feel or flavor the hybrid Mazda -- and a quick look at their specs confirms as much. Review our Mazda CX-50 Hybrid vs. Toyota RAV4 Hybrid and Honda CR-V Hybrid comparison to see what we mean, then visit our San Antonio Mazda dealer today to make this world-beating SUV yours.
Compare Mazda CX-50 Hybrid Specs
Fuel economy is at the heart of why affordable hybrid SUVs like the 2025 Mazda CX-50 are so popular -- and this one returns a stellar 38 miles per gallon in combined city and highway driving. It does so thanks to its three electric motors, which work in tandem with a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder gas engine to generate a net 219 horsepower, which is 15 horsepower more than what a two-motor CR-V Hybrid musters.
All this, plus standard Mazda CX-50 Hybrid AWD, results in an SUV that is refined and composed in any scenario. Smooth operation, quick performance and excellent fuel economy can be expected every time you turn the key, and it's why San Antonio Mazda fans keep returning to this fan favorite. No wonder other hybrid SUVs in Texas just can't compete.
