Mazda CX-50 Hybrid Review Adds Oomph to the Line
Tim Banse notes the CX-50 Hybrid shares its powertrain with Toyota's RAV4 Hybrid, blending a 2.5-liter engine with two electric motors and an e-CVT. It gains efficiency, a 1,500-pound tow limit, and Mi-Drive modes, but weighs more and sacrifices some nimbleness. The hybrid seats five, offers Premium and Premium Plus trims, and includes a 10.3-inch infotainment display with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto.
