Drive a CX-50
A Mazda CX-50 SUV rental gives you standard all-wheel drive, five seats, and up to 31.4 cu ft of cargo space in an upscale package. It feels polished on a weekday commute and ready for a weekend away. If you've had your eye on a Mazda rental, the CX-50 is a confident place to start.
On Turo, you choose the exact CX-50 you see in the listing — no "or similar" surprises at pickup. You book from a local vehicle owner, then arrange pickup and drop-off in the Turo app.

Standard all-wheel drive, every trip
Every CX-50 comes with all-wheel drive, so you get steady traction wherever your plans take you. Gas models use i-Activ AWD, while the Hybrid uses e-AWD. That grip keeps you composed on rain-slicked highways and snowy city streets — and Mi-Drive modes let you tune the feel to the conditions.
Turbo or hybrid — your choice
You can pick the CX-50 that matches your priorities: more power or more miles per gallon. The 2.5 Turbo makes 227 hp on 87 octane and 256 hp on 93 octane, with 310–320 lb-ft of torque. That's plenty of punch for merging, passing, and climbing long mountain grades.
The Hybrid takes the efficient route, pairing 219 hp with an e-CVT and 38 mpg combined (39 city and 37 highway). Fewer gas station stops mean more time for the trip itself — the part you actually came for. Availability depends on the listing, so check the trim before you book.
Room for the whole weekend
The CX-50 seats five and gives you 31.4 cu ft of cargo space (29.2 cu ft in the Hybrid). That's room for duffel bags, a cooler, and a stroller without a round of trunk Tetris. A low roofline puts the roof rack within easier reach, so loading skis or a cargo box takes less stretching.
Packing for a bigger adventure? The 2.5 S is rated to tow up to 2,000 lbs, so you've got extra capacity when the trip calls for it. Between the seats, cargo area, and roof, the whole weekend comes along — souvenirs included.
Stand out with a CX-50
The CX-50 suits couples, small families, and anyone planning a city-to-mountain weekend. It's a natural fit for ski trips and national-park road trips on paved roads, with space for gear and all-wheel drive for changing weather. Compare it with other SUV rentals on Turo and pick the size that fits your crew.
Top CX-50 features
Top safety credentials
Three features set the CX-50 apart: top safety credentials, driver-assist for long highway miles, and American assembly with distinctive styling.
The 2026 CX-50 earned an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+, and so did the 2026 CX-50 Hybrid. That means the safety story holds whether you book the gas model or the Hybrid. It's one less thing to research before you reserve.
That reassurance matters when you're driving a car you don't own, often in a city you don't know. You can focus on the route, the playlist, and the people riding with you.
Pair the rating with standard all-wheel drive, and you've got a compact SUV ready for a wet forecast or a snowy morning. For family trips and ski weekends, you'll know you picked an SUV with recognized credentials.
Driver-assist for long highway miles
Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go takes some of the work out of long highway stretches. Set your speed, and the system helps you keep pace with the traffic ahead. When the freeway slows to a crawl, Stop & Go helps manage the slowdowns, so you're not riding the brake pedal mile after mile.
That's a welcome assist on a multi-hour drive to the mountains or a holiday weekend getaway with heavy traffic. You stay alert and in control — the system simply lightens the load. Arrive at the ski lodge, the beach, or your vacation rental feeling fresher than you would after hours of constant pedal work.
Before you set off, take a minute to find the cruise controls so you're ready once you merge.
Built in America, styled with intent
The CX-50 rolls off the line at Mazda Toyota Manufacturing in Huntsville, Alabama, where it gets its final assembly. So the compact SUV carrying you across the country was put together right here in the US. That's a fun bit of trivia for the first stretch of a road trip.
Outside, the CX-50 is slightly larger and more distinctively styled than its compact stablemate, with a sleek, lower roofline. It's the kind of SUV that looks right parked at a downtown hotel and just as right at a mountain overlook. Whichever trim you book, you're driving something with a clear point of view.

CX-50 driving tips
A few small habits help you get more from your CX-50. Try the Mi-Drive modes to match the drive to the weather and the road. Use Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go to ease the strain of heavy traffic.
Loading gear up top is easier than you'd expect, thanks to the lower roof. Before you return the car, refuel to the same level it had at pickup.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.

For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
