Northern New Mexico asks a lot of a vehicle: snowy mornings on Hyde Park Road, monsoon downpours on I-25, washboard county roads past Eldorado and long highway runs up US-84/285 to Española and Taos. That is why so many local drivers shop for a crossover, and why Santa Fe Mazda at 2704 Cerrillos Road in Santa Fe keeps the full Mazda SUV family in one place. As the only Mazda dealership in Santa Fe, we let you compare the CX-30, CX-5, CX-50 and CX-50 Hybrid, the two-row CX-70 and CX-70 PHEV, and the three-row CX-90 and CX-90 PHEV without driving to Albuquerque.
Look through the SUV inventory above, then use the table, model notes and buying tips below to match size, seats and powertrain to the way you actually drive.
Every gas-powered Mazda crossover comes with i-Activ AWD as standard, and the CX-50 Hybrid uses an electronic AWD system, so traction is covered across the board. What changes from model to model is footprint, seating and how the power is made. Select a model name to see that model’s inventory.

The easiest Mazda SUV to park near the Plaza or the Railyard. The 186-hp Skyactiv-G 2.5 earns an EPA-estimated 27 mpg combined, and 2.5 Turbo trims reach 250 hp on premium fuel. Cargo space runs from 20.2 to 45.2 cubic feet.
The redesigned CX-5 is about 4.5 inches longer than before, and Mazda states the gain goes to rear-seat and cargo room. A 187-hp Skyactiv-G 2.5 with AWD powers every trim, and it is the first Mazda with Google built-in.
Built for the outdoors, with 8.3 to 8.6 inches of ground clearance and rugged Meridian Edition trims. The 2.5 Turbo makes up to 256 hp on premium fuel and tows up to 3,500 lbs with Towing Mode and a genuine Mazda hitch.
A 2.5L engine and electric motors using Toyota-sourced hybrid technology make 219 total hp. The EPA rates it up to 38 mpg combined, electronic AWD is standard, and it never needs a charger.

A 2.5L engine and electric motor make 323 system hp. Mazda lists about 32 miles of electric range for the current model, enough for many trips across Santa Fe; earlier model years carry a lower rating, so check the window sticker.

Mazda’s current US crossover lineup is the CX-30, CX-5, CX-50, CX-50 Hybrid, CX-70, CX-70 PHEV, CX-90 and CX-90 PHEV. They range from a five-seat subcompact to a three-row midsize SUV that seats up to eight. You can compare all of them at Santa Fe Mazda on Cerrillos Road.
The best fit depends on your seats and your driving. The CX-5 is a well-rounded choice, the CX-50 suits dirt roads and ski trips, the CX-50 Hybrid leads on mileage and the CX-90 is the one to pick for a third row. A back-to-back test drive usually makes the answer clear.
For families of four, the CX-5 and CX-70 offer roomy back seats and generous cargo space. If you regularly carry more than five people, the CX-90 seats seven or eight and the CX-90 PHEV seats seven. Bring car seats along to your test drive to check the fit.
Mazda states that i-Activ AWD is standard on its gas-powered crossovers, and the CX-50 Hybrid has standard electronic AWD. That is a real advantage during Santa Fe winters and on the Ski Santa Fe road. Good tires still matter, and our Mazda tire center can help you choose winter or all-weather options.
Both are popular compact SUVs with strong reputations. The CX-5 includes AWD on every trim, Google built-in and a cabin Mazda designs to feel upscale, with handling that many drivers find engaging. Drive both and decide which seat, screen and driving feel suit you best.
Both are three-row midsize SUVs aimed at families. The CX-90 offers a turbo inline-6 mild hybrid with up to 340 hp, seating for up to eight, up to 5,000 lbs of towing when properly equipped and a plug-in hybrid version. A test drive is the fairest way to compare ride, space and power.
A Mazda Certified Pre-Owned crossover can make sense if you want a lower starting point with extra peace of mind. Certified vehicles go through a multi-point inspection and include a CARFAX report and certified warranty coverage. Read more on our Mazda CPO page.
