The 2026 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid combines efficient hybrid performance with the versatile design and responsive driving character of a Mazda crossover. Its 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, three electric motors, electronically controlled continuously variable transmission, and electronic all-wheel drive produce up to 219 combined horsepower. Three trim levels let drivers select the comfort, technology, exterior details, and premium amenities that suit their priorities.
The 2026 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid Preferred establishes a capable and efficient foundation for the three-trim lineup.

An electronically controlled continuously variable transmission manages power smoothly, while electronic all-wheel drive can engage the rear electric motor to support traction when conditions require it.
Mazda Intelligent Drive Select provides Power and Trail modes for adjusting vehicle response to different driving situations.
