The 2024 Mazda CX-5 and 2024 Mazda CX-50 have much in common, but some significant differences set these fraternal twins apart. If you’re trying to decide between them, Paretti Mazda explains what to expect from these stylish models when you visit us for a test drive.

Performance

The 2024 Mazda CX-5 and 2024 Mazda CX-50 offer the same engine choices. A 2.5-liter engine produces 187 horsepower; an available turbo engine puts out up to 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque.

While both SUVs can offer the fun, dynamic driving experiences you would expect from a Mazda vehicle, they put that output to different uses.

Both models offer a roomy interior with space for up to five people. However, they differ in how much cargo space they offer. The 2024 Mazda CX-50 has an advantage regarding minimum cargo space, offering 31.4 cubic feet versus 30 cubic feet.

The 2024 Mazda CX-5 gains the advantage if you fold the seats down. This configuration offers up to 59.3 cubic feet of cargo room, while the Mazda CX-50 maxes out at 56.4 cubic feet.
