What Is The Best Mazda SUV?

It's no secret that Mazda is well known for its range of sporty SUVs that combine performance, style, and luxury at reasonable prices. In fact, as recently as November 2023, Mazda was named 2024’s "Best SUV Brand" by US News and World Report.

With this in mind, let's take a snapshot look at the best Mazda SUV options you should consider.

2024 Mazda CX-30 Subcompact SUV

The smallest and most affordable five-seater SUV from Mazda is a subcompact crossover based on the Mazda3 compact car, meaning superb driving manners and impressive cabin finishes are on offer across all eight trim levels. Outfitted with Mazda Harmonic Acoustics, the CX-30 boasts high-quality 6-speaker and 8-speaker audio system options.

This makes the 2024 CX-30 the best Mazda SUV if you’re looking for a sporty and affordable subcompact vehicle.

2024 Mazda CX-50 Compact SUV

The 2024 Mazda CX-50 is positioned to appeal more to the outdoor lifestyle group with its rugged squared-off design, square wheel arches and large body cladding.

All models feature a 2.5L engine with top trims being turbocharged. The CX-50 features a six-speed automatic transmission connected to an all-wheel drive system for handy off-road capabilities.

2024 Mazda CX-90 Midsize SUV

The all-new 2024 Mazda CX-90 SUV is replacing the Mazda CX-9. Mazda's new three-row SUV seats up to eight occupants. It's the biggest and priciest SUV on offer from Mazda and takes its luxury SUV offerings to new heights.

The CX-90 was introduced with a new turbocharged 3.3-liter inline-six engine, which produces either 280 horsepower or 340 horsepower depending on the trim selected. This SUV offers greater cabin space and more premium features and technologies than its predecessor: the Mazda CX-9. This makes the 2024 Mazda CX-90 the best Mazda SUV for luxury and size.

2024 Mazda MX-30 Electric Subcompact SUV

The Mazda MX-30 was Mazda's sole entry into the fully electric vehicle category and was only ever sold in California starting in 2022. The stylish sub-compact electric SUV model has now been discontinued for the US market as Mazda turns its focus to the larger platform plug-in hybrid electric vehicle segment.

2024 Mazda CX-5 Compact SUV

The 2024 Mazda CX-5 compact crossover model is positioned slightly above the CX-30 in the Mazda SUV family lineup and is Mazda's best-selling model, which shouldn't be a surprise considering the quality and value proposition made by this model.

The CX-5 is available in eight trim levels with two engine options: a standard naturally aspirated SKYACTIV-G four-cylinder 2.5-liter, double overhead cam (DOHC) gasoline engine producing 187-horsepower and the powerful turbocharged 2.5-liter SKYACTIV-G four-cylinder that produces 256 horsepower.

The luxurious cabin of the CX-5 features standard luxuries such as dual-zone automatic climate control with pollen filter, speed-sensitive power door locks with 2-stage unlocking, dual covered illuminated visor vanity mirrors, map lights, dome light and cargo light, power windows with one-touch down/up feature and rear air conditioning vents.

The CX-5 lands as the best Mazda SUV if you’re looking for compact luxury and plenty of horsepower to get around easily.

2024 Mazda CX-9 Midsize SUV

The CX-9 midsize SUV bows out of Mazda's SUV lineup at the end of 2023 to be replaced with the aforementioned brand-new CX-90 midsize SUV.

First introduced in 2006 with Ford underpinnings, the second generation was revealed in 2015, featuring striking KODO design language as well as a powerful turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine.
