The 2026 Mazda CX-50 is Mazda's adventure-ready compact crossover — larger and more ruggedly styled than the CX-5, with a roomy interior, standard i-Activ AWD across all trims, Mi-Drive Sport and Off-Road modes, and a choice of naturally aspirated, turbocharged, or hybrid powertrains. For Colorado Springs drivers who spend their weekends exploring the trails and open terrain above the Front Range, the CX-50 is one of the most capable and genuinely driver-focused compact crossovers available in its class.

Whether you are coming from Fountain, Falcon, Pueblo, or anywhere across the Colorado Springs metro area, our team is here to help you find the right CX-50 lease — without pressure or games.

Why Lease a Mazda CX-50 in Colorado Springs?

The CX-50 is purpose-built for the kind of driving Colorado Springs families actually do — standard AWD for Pikes Peak region winters and unpredictable Front Range weather, Mi-Drive Off-Road mode and available all-terrain tires for weekend trail excursions above Colorado Springs and into the backcountry near Cripple Creek and Woodland Park, and up to 3,500 pounds of towing capacity on Turbo models for drivers who pull a small boat to Pueblo Reservoir or a utility trailer to the job site. With a roomy interior offering 31.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and 56.3 cubic feet with them folded, the CX-50 also handles the practical demands of family life without compromise. Leasing the CX-50 gives Colorado Springs drivers access to all of this — with the flexibility to refresh into the next model year at the end of their term and a monthly payment that reflects Mazda's strong residual value reputation in the compact crossover segment.

The 2026 Mazda CX-50 Gas Trim Lineup

The 2026 CX-50 gas lineup spans seven configurations across two powertrain tiers, all with standard AWD. The 2.5 S Select at $29,900 is the entry point — arriving with dual-zone climate control, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, half-leatherette seats, automatic wipers and headlights, and the full standard safety suite now extended across all trims for 2026. The 2.5 S Preferred at $32,400 adds a panoramic moonroof, power rear liftgate, heated front seats, and an eight-way power driver's seat — the most popular naturally aspirated configuration for Colorado Springs families who want everyday convenience. The 2.5 S Meridian Edition at $33,150 is the adventure trim of the naturally aspirated lineup — featuring 18-inch alloy wheels with all-terrain tires, black roof rails, and gloss black exterior badging, exclusively available in Jet Black, Polymetal Gray, or Zircon Sand. It is the right choice for Falcon and northeast Colorado Springs drivers who want improved capability on unpaved surfaces without stepping into turbo pricing. The 2.5 S Premium at $34,900 pivots to comfort — adding ventilated front seats, a panoramic moonroof, Bose 12-speaker audio, SiriusXM, a windshield wiper de-icer, and 20-inch wheels. Stepping into the turbocharged tier, the 2.5 Turbo at $37,900 delivers 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque on premium fuel, with paddle shifters, Adaptive Front-Lighting, Signature LED headlights, automatic power-folding mirrors, a full-color head-up display, and the 3,500-pound towing capacity with Towing Mode. The 2.5 Turbo Meridian Edition at $40,400 combines turbocharged performance with all-terrain tires and the adventure-ready Meridian aesthetic — making it the most capable and most distinctive CX-50 in the lineup per Edmunds. The 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus at $42,900 tops the gas lineup with every available feature including the surround-view camera, highway cruising support, front blind-spot assistance, and frontal cross-traffic alerts.

The Turbo Meridian: The Right CX-50 for Colorado Springs Adventurers

For Colorado Springs and Falcon area drivers who want the most from their CX-50 lease, the 2.5 Turbo Meridian Edition at $40,400 deserves serious consideration. Edmunds recommends the Turbo Meridian as the most well-rounded pick in the lineup — combining the turbocharged engine's 256 horsepower, 320 lb-ft of torque, and 3,500-pound towing capacity with the all-terrain tires and Off-Road Mi-Drive mode that make it genuinely capable on the unpaved roads and trails accessible from Colorado Springs. The Turbo Meridian's exclusive Zircon Sand exterior paint option, gloss black badging, and black roof rails give it a purposeful visual character that sets it apart from every other trim. For families who use their crossover both as a daily driver on I-25 and as a weekend adventure vehicle heading toward Rampart Range Road or Phantom Canyon, the Turbo Meridian delivers on both fronts in a way that no other trim in the CX-50 lineup can.

Standard Safety Across the Entire 2026 CX-50 Lineup

For 2026, Mazda standardized the CX-50 safety suite across all trim levels — meaning every CX-50 lease, from the base Select to the Turbo Premium Plus, now includes blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alerts, radar-guided cruise control with stop-and-go, lane departure warning with lane keep assistance, and eight airbags. Traffic sign recognition enters at the Premium level, and the Turbo trims add a head-up display. The Turbo Premium Plus is the only trim with the surround-view camera, highway cruising support, and front blind-spot assistance. For Colorado Springs families who lease a CX-50 at any trim level, the 2026 standardization of active safety technology means there is no longer a base-trim safety penalty — a meaningful improvement over the outgoing model year.
