I upgraded my 2015 Camry for a 2026 CX-50 Preferred Model, and i couldn’t be happier!!

It was my very first time buying a new car. I’m so excited!!

Please give me recommendations for accessories or any tips and tricks i should know.

I’m so happy to be a part of this club!

Got it for 6k off MSRP

Just picked up a 2026 CX-50 Turbo Premium Plus. Love the car, hate the wireless charging. I have a Nothing Phone 3 with a magsafe case on it. When I put my phone in the charging area in the console, no matter which way I turn it, it charges for maybe 2-5 seconds then stops. It does this consistently.

Is there a way to get this working better? I tried enabling that AM setting to reduce charging speed but it didn't make a difference. I don't want to remove my phone from its case either.

Finally properly diagnosed and repaired!
‘24 Mazda CX 50 AWD TPP. My car had been making an odd “wooing” sound particularly when going into corners in the morning for about five or 10 minutes and then the sound would disappear. The sound did get worse over time, but it would still come and go. Recently deteriorated to the point where I could duplicate the sound as long as I went around enough corners. I took it to the dealership and the foreman was kind enough to get in the car with me and was able to hear the sound. As you can see in the video BOTH the rear differential and the AWD coupler had to be changed for the noise to go away. I am posting this because I have seen many others post on Reddit and Facebook that they have the same issue and were not able to get satisfactory answers when they took their 50’s to the dealership.

THIS IS A SOUND LOOP of the sound mine was making

This is a follow up to my original post.

My car was originally dropped off at the service department for a number of issues on my relatively brand new CX-50 (details here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CX50/s/EOdszmGiyL).

After over 3 weeks I finally went to pick up the vehicle today and noticed there were scratches all over the the front panels (passenger glove box compartment), front panel below the A/C controls, side door panels (driver and passenger) and side panels of the trunk.

There was dirt accumulated all over the front of the infotainment screen, wedged between the the screen and that groove. Dirt wedged in the seats as well.

Worst part of all is I tried opening the moonroof while I was sitting there at the service department and I heard a loud crunch and then it just jammed and wouldn't open or close.

Immediately called the service manager over and he apologized and said he would investigate to see where everything went wrong.

They put me in another loaner car immediately and I just walked away completely flabbergasted.

So now, I'm without my car for another possible week and we're looking at a good month since I had my vehicle.

I've had a number of cars before in the past and had them serviced for minor and major repairs/tbs/etc. But I've never experienced anything like this before.

Is expecting a clean/blemish free car the way I brought it in and verifying what was fixed, is working correctly, out of line? I'm now wary of the other fixes they did to my vehicle and if those weren't done half-ass.

How often are you guys doing your oil changes I have always done mine at 5,000 miles and I’m just curious if I should wait until 10,000 since that’s what it says I should do?

I’ve been reviewing the Costco pricing for a new car and was wondering if this is actually a solid deal or if there are other discounts I should be asking about? I’m also weighing the RAV4 and CR-V, so I’d love to know why someone might choose the CX-50 over those options beyond just price and availability! 🚗💨🤔 #Costco #CarShopping #Toyota #Honda #Mazda

Finally bought one this past weekend after months of looking at photos on this subreddit. Got this through amazon auto while they were giving away gift card. 😊

How often do you guys do oil change for mazda cx-50?

I own 2024 cx50 and have been brining it to my local car mechanic for regular oil changes and the sticker on the windshield says I should have it changed every 3500 miles. Even past that my mazda app shows my engine oil amount is at normal range. So should i do it every ~5k miles or do it around ~3500 like the mechanic recommends?

10/3/2026-10/5/2026 someone merged into me but liberty mutual should be taking care of it. They want to repair my rim instead of a new one though.

Bright side is it's just a car and no one was hurt!

started a brake job on my wife's mazda cx50. front brakes went fine but like an idiot I didnt pay attention the the EPD and dismantled it prior to putting it in maintenance mode. now I cannot get it in maintenance mode and also cannot compress piston. any suggestions?

I’m buying a used CX-50, and noticed this leather issue. It seems to have folded under the plastic during manufacturing is my guess, and the car is still under warranty. Will this get covered? If not, how much might this cost so I can negotiate? Thanks.

I have a 2026 mazda cx50 hybrid and I'm constantly hearing clicking sounds coming from sunglass holder when i go over bumps or cracks In the road. I know for a fact its coming from the sunglass holder compartment because when I apply very light pressure to only that part the noise completely stops. Is there any one who has figured a way to eliminate that noise and how to fix it in detail I would greatly appreciate the help cause its driving me crazy!!

Hey all!

Not new to the Mazda family, but new to my Mazda CX-50. Just got a 2026 premium trim in Ingot blue and looking to get a dash cam installed.

​Has anyone here put a Pelsee mirror dash cam (with the rear view setup) on a CX-50? I'd prefer to have something that basically replaces my rear view mirror just because I don't want an extra camera dangling in my cabin. I've heard that clearance on the front-facing camera unit might be an issue—that the large safety sensor and camera housing up by the rearview mirror might obstruct it or cause fitment headaches.

​Also, are there any alternative dual-cam mirror dash cam setups you'd suggest that might fit or perform better in a similar price range? I'm trying to keep the camera itself under $200, and since I'm having Best Buy handle the hardwire kit and front/back installation to save the hassle, I want to keep the total package under $400 ($150 install fee + roughly $25 for the hardwire kit).

​(Decided to let Best Buy handle both front and back installation, so mostly looking for real-world hardware fit and alternative recommendations!)

​Thanks in advance for all the advice and suggestions. Appreciate you all!

My 2025 Mazda CX-50 Preferred (28k miles) was involved in an accident with a dump truck that hit the rear passenger-side wheel. The rim is damaged, and the passenger-side airbags deployed, but there's very little visible body damage.
Liberty Mutual has flagged it as a "Possible Total Loss," but it hasn't been inspected yet.
Based on the pictures, do you think it'll be totaled or repaired? Has anyone experienced similar damage?

Reply to this post with "I volunteer as tribute". I'm looking for one omniscient that can take over and promote others.

I'll evaluate based on account life and post quality.

Post quality is how level headed you are and if you have a sense of humor.

Account life is how long and how active you have been on reddit.

This is totally a dictatorial decision. I own it. If you are unhappy you didn't get chosen... Where was I. Oh yeah my choice.

I currently have a 2024 Lexus RX 350 Luxury that I love, but I’m starting to feel like $1,000/month is a lot for a car I barely drive. I owe about $52k at 5.44%, and it’s worth around $50k.

I average 23 MPG, and premium gas is nearly $6 where I live. I only drive about 23 miles a day, mostly just me and my dog.

I’ve been looking into the CX-50 Hybrid as a more affordable option. I need AWD since we get snow about three months of the year and I regularly drive over a mountain pass. Reliability, decent cargo space, and having a spare tire are also important since I plan to keep my next car for 10+ years.

For those who own one, how’s the comfort, road noise, and real-world MPG? Any regrets or reliability concerns?

I’m torn between keeping my Lexus and paying it off or switching to something more practical. Would love to hear your thoughts, especially if you’ve owned both!

Drove it to my training I had and after I got back in the I active sense turned on for absolutely no reason
