Engine Options That Make Towing a Breeze

The 2025 Mazda CX-50 offers two potent engine choices that directly influence how much you can tow.

5-liter four-cylinder engine (non-turbo)

Found in trims like the 2.5 S Select, 2.5 S Preferred, 2.5 S Premium, and 2.5 S Premium Plus, this engine produces a solid 187 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque. With this setup, the CX-50’s towing capacity reaches up to 2,000 pounds—perfect for hauling small trailers, kayaks, or bikes for your next camping trip.

5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine

Standard on higher trims like the 2.5 Turbo Meridian Edition, 2.5 Turbo Premium, and 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus, this engine cranks out an impressive 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque when using premium fuel. Thanks to this extra power, the Mazda CX-50’s towing capacity climbs to a maximum of 3,500 pounds. That’s enough muscle to tow a small boat, a larger utility trailer, or a couple of ATVs for an adventurous weekend escape.
