Absolutely, and the CX-50 is one where a test drive really matters. It has a noticeably sportier, more planted feel than you might expect from a crossover — lower stance, wider track, more responsive steering. You'll feel the difference immediately. Our Boardman showroom is about 10 minutes from Canfield via US-224, and we can get you on the road at a time that works for you.

How is the Mazda CX-50 different from the CX-5?

Good question — they're close in size but pretty different in character. The CX-50 is longer and lower, with a sportier exterior and a more outdoor-oriented personality. It comes standard with all-wheel drive across every trim (the CX-5 offers it as an upgrade on some), and Mazda built it with available off-road modes specifically for drivers who venture beyond pavement. If you want something that feels more athletic and trail-ready, the CX-50 is the move. If you prioritize a taller, more traditional crossover feel, the CX-5 might suit you better. We're happy to put you in both and let you decide.

What CX-50 trims does Preston Mazda carry?

We carry the full CX-50 lineup — from the 2.5 S base trim up through the 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus at the top of the range. Each step up adds meaningful features, not just cosmetic changes, so the conversation about which trim fits your life is worth having.

What do I need to bring to purchase a CX-50 at Preston Mazda?

Just your driver's license and proof of insurance for most transactions. If you're financing, having some basic employment and income info on hand will help move things along — and you can get your application started ahead of time at /getfinancing so we're not starting from scratch on the day you come in.

Questions? We'll Give You Straight Answers.

The CX-50 is a newer model and people have a lot of questions about it — how it compares to the CX-5, whether the turbo is worth it, which trim makes sense for daily driving versus weekend adventures. These are good questions and we enjoy answering them.

Reach out or stop by our Boardman showroom. No appointment needed just to browse, and no pressure when you get here. Canfield is a quick ride out on 224 and we'd love to show you what the CX-50 is about.

Why the Mazda CX-50 Is Worth a Serious Look from Canfield Drivers

Mazda built the CX-50 to do something specific: give drivers who want a capable, outdoorsy crossover a more refined option than what's typically in that category. It's not trying to be a hardcore off-roader — it's trying to be the vehicle you'd actually want to drive every day, that also doesn't flinch when you pull onto a gravel road or hit a trail at Mosquito Lake State Park on a muddy weekend.

It comes standard with i-ACTIV AWD on every single trim. Not as an upgrade, not as a package add-on — standard. For drivers in Northeast Ohio, that's not a small thing. It means the base model CX-50 is already set up for the kind of mixed-weather driving that defines fall and winter around Mahoning County.

Standard AWD on every trim — no upcharge required.
Available off-road modes including Gravel, Mud/Rut, and Deep Snow/Dirt.
Turbo engine option producing 227 hp for drivers who want real acceleration.

The interior holds up the Mazda standard — thoughtful layout, quality materials, and a cabin that's genuinely quiet on the highway. The CX-50 is actually longer than the CX-5, which translates to noticeably more rear-seat legroom and cargo space. If you regularly haul gear or have passengers in the back, you'll feel that extra room.

Built for the Roads — and the Trails — Around Canfield, OH

Northeast Ohio gives you more variety than people give it credit for. On a given week, a Canfield driver might be navigating the Route 46 and US-224 interchange at rush hour, running out to the Salt Fork State Park area for a weekend trip, dealing with an inch of lake-effect snow on a Tuesday morning, or heading down toward Pittsburgh on I-76 for a day out. The CX-50 handles that range without breaking a sweat.

The available off-road driving modes aren't just marketing. Mazda engineered them to genuinely adjust throttle response, traction, and torque distribution for different surfaces. Whether you're pulling off into a gravel lot at a trail head or navigating a rutted back road in Columbiana County, the CX-50 gives you the tools to handle it with confidence.

Raised ride height and wider stance compared to the CX-5 — better clearance for uneven terrain.
All-season performance without having to think about it — AWD is already there.
Turbocharged engine option for drivers who want pull on highway merges and passing lanes.

For everyday use, the CX-50 is comfortable and composed. The suspension tuning is sporty enough to feel engaging without punishing you on rough pavement — and we have plenty of that around here. Ride quality on the back roads between Canfield and New Middletown is noticeably better than most vehicles in this class.
