The 2024 Mazda CX-50 S Preferred is a step up from the base S Select trim, offering more comfort and convenience features at a starting MSRP of $31,650. Here’s a breakdown of what it adds:

Exterior

• No major changes compared to the S Select, but may come with different color options depending on dealership.

Interior

• Power driver’s seat
• Heated front seats
• Heated side mirrors
• Rear power liftgate

Infotainment

• The infotainment system might be the same as the S Select (8.8-inch touchscreen with Mazda Connect, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto), but confirmation depends on dealership inventory.

Safety

• The i-Activsense safety suite should be the same as the S Select, including automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and tire pressure monitoring system.

Overall

The 2024 Mazda CX-50 S Preferred offers significant upgrades in comfort and convenience features for a relatively small price jump from the S Select. The heated seats and power liftgate are particularly valuable features, especially in colder climates.

Here are some additional points to consider:

• Fuel Economy: Both the S Select and S Preferred trims are expected to have similar fuel economy figures, with estimates likely around 25 mpg city and 31 mpg highway for front-wheel drive models. All-wheel drive will slightly decrease those figures.
• Cargo Space: The CX-50 offers slightly less cargo space than the CX-5 due to its design focus on off-road capability. However, the difference is minimal, and the CX-50 still offers plenty of space for most needs.
• Test Drives: It’s always recommended to test drive both the CX-50 S Select and S Preferred to see which one better suits your needs and preferences.
