Choosing Between the Mazda CX-5 and CX-50 at our Broomfield Dealership
If you're cruising through life near Denver or Westminster, both the Mazda CX-5 and Mazda CX-50 have what it takes to elevate your drives. At Sill-TerHar Mazda, we know you don't just want to know which one is better, you want to understand what makes each unique so you can choose the one that fits your style and life.
Design & Presence
The Mazda CX-5 delivers an elegant and refined look that says, "I have my act together." Slim headlights, a sculpted grille, and graceful bodylines create a premium image whether you're weaving through Denver traffic or heading up to Boulder for the weekend. It's a classy SUV that suits suburban sidewalks and city lanes alike.
By contrast, the newer Mazda CX-50 takes a slightly more rugged tack, as if it packed hiking boots just in case. It shares Mazda's signature design language, but with a wider stance, more aggressive body cladding, and higher ground clearance. You get the impression it's ready to chuck in some mud-spattered adventures on a moment's notice, but still turn heads while doing so.
Driving Dynamics & Power
The CX-5 offers a balanced ride that's both smooth and engaging-implying, "Yes, I can handle stop-and-go downtown traffic without a fuss." It comes with a choice of a responsive naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine or a spirited turbocharged option that adds a proper pinch of zest for those spirited drives out toward Longmont or Louisville.
The CX-50, meanwhile, cranks that spirit up a notch. Standard all-wheel drive and a firmer setup give it a slightly more planted feel, as though it's daring you to explore forest service roads or slick City Park paths. Its turbocharged engine delivers sporty shove that feels more "come-on" than mere "get-up-and-go."
Interior Comfort & Features
Inside, the CX-5 carries on Mazda's tradition of minimalism with craftsmanship. It's soothing and snug, like a modern art gallery crossed with a very comfortable couch. The cabin is quiet, the materials feel upscale, and the layout focuses on the essentials without overwhelming you, perfect for your daily runs through Westminster or Sunday errands in Louisville.
The CX-50 maintains much of that lovely interior sensibility but pushes subtly toward utility. Gentler finishes pair with grippier textures, hinting at durability for outdoor gear and adventure clothes. And with slightly more cargo space (especially behind rear seats), it's the better pick for getting your bikes, skis, or Costco hauls back to Longmont intact.
Technology & Safety
Both SUVs come loaded with Mazda's latest infotainment system, smart driver-assist features, and safety tech. From active lane keep assist for your highway drives, to pedestrian detection and automatic emergency braking for the city streets of Denver, both the CX-5 and CX-50 keep you out of harm's way. Essentially, they make driving feel confident and competent.
The CX-50 augments all that with available extras like a head-up display and a more rugged roof rail setup for adding gear. Perfect if your idea of a weekend drive includes kayaks, bikes, or impromptu camping in the foothills beyond Boulder.
