Choosing the right Mazda SUV comes down to matching your routine with the way a vehicle handles it, from tight city parking to long highway stretches with the family in tow. Fields Mazda of Asheville helps you compare body styles, seating, and cargo layouts across western North Carolina, so you can figure out which model actually fits your life.
Compact and Comfortable: Mazda CX-30 and Mazda CX-5
If your driving is mostly errands and commuting, the Mazda CX-30 combines a compact footprint with five-passenger seating and a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder producing 186 horsepower. Drivers who want additional passenger and cargo room can step up to the redesigned 2026 Mazda CX-5, which pairs a 187-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder with standard i-Activ AWD®. The Mazda CX-5 also offers Mazda Intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) with Normal, Sport, and Off-Road modes, giving it added versatility for changing road conditions and weekend adventures.
Built for Adventure: Mazda CX-50
If you're shopping for a new Mazda model with a more rugged personality, the Mazda CX-50 is designed to take you beyond the daily commute. Standard i-Activ AWD® provides added capability on changing surfaces, while the available turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder produces up to 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque on recommended premium fuel. Turbo models also include Sport and Off-Road Mi-Drive modes and can tow up to 3,500 lb when properly equipped with Mazda Genuine Towing Accessories.
Shoppers who prioritize efficiency can also choose the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid, which pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with three electric motors and standard electronic all-wheel drive for a combined 219 horsepower.
More Space and Power: Mazda CX-70 and Mazda CX-90
For drivers who want more space and power, the Mazda CX-70 and Mazda CX-90 sit at the top of the SUV lineup. Both offer an e-SKYACTIV®-G 3.3-liter turbocharged inline-six producing 280 horsepower, along with more powerful Turbo S and plug-in hybrid configurations. The Mazda CX-70 uses a two-row, five-passenger layout with up to 75.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the front seats, making it a strong choice for drivers who prioritize cargo room over a third row.
