Introduced a year ago, the CX-50 is essentially a beefier and more adventurous CX-5. It offers the same powertrain options (a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre engine rated at 191 horsepower and a turbocharged version producing up to 256 horsepower with premium gasoline) and the same six-speed transmission paired with all-wheel drive as standard. Trunk capacity is only marginally increased, however. CX-50 drivers love the comfortable seats, but many lament the frustrating infotainment system.
