This Bestest-approved 2024 Mazda CX-50 2.5 S Select for sale in Orange is Mazda certified, so its powertrain warranty is good until around September 2031 or another 68,000 miles, and its bumper-to-bumper coverage runs until around September 2028.

The 2.5 S Select is the base CX-50, the cheapest way into one. Every CX-50 has all-wheel drive, and this one has the 187-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder, which the EPA rates at 27 mpg combined. When you check availability, we'll also email you a link to the free Carfax vehicle history report (when available), which includes the exact in-service date and how much warranty is left.

Questions shoppers ask about this CX-50

Is Mazda certified worth it?

Yes, and it's cheap. Mazda's certified program adds 12 months or 12,000 miles of coverage after the factory 3-year/36,000-mile warranty ends, and extends powertrain coverage, for the engine and transmission, from 5 years or 60,000 miles to 7 years or 100,000 miles from the first sale, with no deductible. In Orange County, a certified used CX-50 usually lists for well under $1,000 more than a non-certified one, miles and trim being equal. Both transfer to you in full.

The S Select is the base of the CX-50 lineup. Standard equipment includes:

Mazda radar cruise control with stop & go
Blind Spot Monitoring
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Leather-wrapped shifter and steering wheel
Dual-zone automatic climate control
Mazda advanced keyless entry with push-button start
LED headlights

The 2024 Mazda CX-50 is the second model year of the CX-50, which arrived for 2023 as Mazda's more rugged companion to the CX-5. Every 2024 CX-50 has all-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic, with a choice of a 2.5-liter four-cylinder or a turbocharged version of the same engine. For 2024, Mazda retuned the suspension and steering and dropped two of the lower trims; the 10.25-inch center screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto carries over.
