Mazda, a Japanese manufacturer that began producing motorized vehicles nearly 100 years ago, has found a sweet spot between utility and joy in the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid. The company's first vehicle, from 1931, was the “Mazada Go” a rugged, three-wheeled, motorcycle-based utility vehicle. Despite this, Mazda has always considered itself a challenger brand and has evolved separately from its core competitors, embracing novel technologies, unique propulsion systems, and distinctive aesthetics, as well as a fascination with the connection between human and machine. The CX 50 is designed with active lifestyles in mind and features features that lend themselves to varied interests. The car's premium paint process incorporates a depth of color, reflection, and refraction, highlighting its premium identity. The hybrid version of the CX50 is aligned with Mazda’s four-cylinder engine with three electric motors, producing a total of 219 horsepower and accelerating between 187 and 187 times.
