Once you’ve read through the points below, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team of experts!
Technology
On days where you’re feeling in the mood to take a trip to Centennial Park, you can hop into your 2026 Mazda CX-50 and hear its engine roar to life with the Push Button Start feature that eliminates the need to insert a key into the ignition. As all of the vehicle’s internal systems come on line, so too will the standard 10.25-inch full-color display, which is where you’ll be able to find all of your multimedia features in one place. One of our personal favorites are the wireless Apple CarPlay®1 and Android Auto™2 integrations, which act as an easy means for syncing a compatible smartphone to the infotainment system. Should you choose to take this route, then you’ll be able to listen to all your favorite albums and podcasts via a standard 8-speaker or available Bose® 12-speaker surround sound system with Centerpoint® and AudioPilot®.
Performance
Once you’re ready to make your way onto Route 41 and set out for your destination, it’s the standard SKYACTIV®-G 2.5L 4-cylinder engine with 187 horsepower and 185 lb.-ft. of torque that’ll push the 2026 Mazda CX-50 forward. You can also elect to haul some cargo along for the trip thanks to this vehicle’s respectable 2,000-lb. maximum towing capacity3. And as we mentioned earlier on, for those who are adventurous, you’ll likely find yourself doing a bit of traveling off the beaten path from time to time. Luckily, this is where the Mazda CX-50 will truly be able to shine with its standard i-ACTIV AWD® and Mazda Intelligent Drive Select system. The latter gives you access to Sport and Off-Road modes, so you can switch between them to best optimize performance for the present situation.
Design
Being equipped with its standard AWD badge, aluminum roof rails with a Satin Chrome finish, and a body-colored rear roof spoiler, the 2026 Mazda CX-50 is certainly a sight for sore eyes. When onlookers see this vehicle cruising through Sarasota, it’ll be hard for them to look away, especially if you opt to have your model outfitted with the available 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels that feature a Black Metallic and machine cut finish. And should you choose to take to the roads at night, then the standard LED headlights and High Beam Control4 can help ensure you’re able to see where you’re headed at every turn. We still have plenty more to share about this compact SUV option here at Mazda of Port Charlotte, so be sure to stop by our location during business hours to see it in person!
