5 / 5
CR Safety Verdict: Best
Consumer Reports says the 2026 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid meets
federal safety requirements, all CR Core Safety Requirements
and all CR Advanced Safety Requirements.
Consumer Reports says the 2026 RAV4 meets federal safety
requirements and all CR Core Safety Requirements, but it
does not meet all of CR’s Advanced Safety Requirements.
Familiar Hybrid Technology. A Very Different Driving Experience.
The CX-50 Hybrid combines a proven hybrid powertrain with Mazda’s
design, handling and more upscale interior experience. Standard
electronic all-wheel drive, Power and Trail drive modes, wireless
connectivity, a panoramic moonroof and strong safety credentials
give the CX-50 Hybrid a distinctly Mazda approach to the compact
hybrid SUV.
