The team at Med Center Mazda covers the details below so you can make an informed decision.
Performance
The stylish and practical 2024 Mazda CX-50 gives you the choice of two powertrains: a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine generating 187 horsepower, and a turbocharged version of the same engine with 250 horsepower. With the upgraded version of the engine, the Mazda CX-50 is capable of a zero to 60 mph time of 7.2 seconds. i-ACTIV AWD® comes standard on every trim, plus extra performance features such as G-Vectoring Control Plus.

Interior
The interior of the Mazda CX-50 reflects the Mazda brand’s premium and luxurious feeling, with quality piping and stitching throughout the cabin and seats. The baseline trims offer half leatherette-trimmed seats along with a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear selector. A 10.25-inch color display is included as well for all your infotainment needs.
The entry-level trims of the 2024 Volkswagen Tiguan only include cloth seating. Its infotainment display is also noticeably smaller, only measuring 6.5 inches.
