2025 Mazda CX-50 Interior
Mazda shows off outstanding Japanese craftsmanship in its upscale interiors, which would not look out of place in some expensive German luxury cars. The 2025 Mazda CX-50 is no exception, and its stylish interior, constructed of quality materials and with quality workmanship, accommodates up to five passengers in its two rows of seats.
The interior of the CX-50 continues the exterior's rugged outdoors theme and features cabin finishes inspired by the outdoor lifestyle.
Unique finishes like seat stitching that resembles the pattern of hiking boot laces, plus a textured surface finish that mimics a telephoto lens grip, adorn the center console.
Driver comfort and convenience include a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a convenient push-button start, and the stylish partial digital instrument gauge display.
Up front, both driver and passenger get heated and ventilated front seats, and in cooler weather, rear seat passengers will appreciate the heated seats available on upper trim levels.
Some of the outstanding interior features include:
- Speed-sensitive power door locks with 2-stage unlocking
- Mazda advanced keyless entry and start system
- Power windows featuring one-touch down/up
- Dual-zone automatic climate control
The all-important infotainment system comprises a 10.25-inch full-color display with the Mazda Connect system across all trim levels.
The Mazda Connect system is conveniently controlled via a rotary controller and volume knob located in the center console.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration are also standard.
Weekend adventures involving plenty of cargo can easily be accommodated thanks to the generous 31.4 cubic feet of loading space behind the second-row seats, which expands to 56.3 cubic feet by folding down the 60/40-split rear seats.
