Bob Penkhus Mazda South - What to Know About the 2026 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid
The 2026 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid brings Mazda driving character together with hybrid efficiency, creating a crossover that feels ready for weekday commutes and weekend roads less traveled. From a thoughtfully tuned hybrid powertrain to confident capability in changing weather, it is engineered to be as enjoyable to drive as it is easy to live with. At Bob Penkhus Mazda South, our goal is to make your research simple, your test drive seamless, and your ownership experience rewarding.
Under the hood, the CX-50 Hybrid pairs a 2.5-liter gasoline engine with electric motors and a hybrid battery, managed by an e-CVT for smooth, responsive power. Electronic All-Wheel Drive adds confidence year-round, distributing torque where it can help most. Mazda calibrates this system for natural steering feel and predictable handling, so the hybrid power never gets in the way of the connection you expect behind the wheel. With Mi-Drive modes that include Power and Trail, the CX-50 Hybrid adapts to your route—pavement, gravel, and everything in between—with a composed, quiet ride.

Pair that with the MyMazda App for remote start, lock and unlock, and vehicle location features to simplify life on busy days.
