Cardinale Mazda - Does the 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid Offer Enough Cargo Space for Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA Weekends?
Weekend escapes deserve an SUV that packs flexibly without fuss. The 2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid was designed with a deep, versatile cargo hold, making it easy to load everyday essentials or gear for a spur-of-the-moment getaway from Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA. With 29.2 cu. ft. behind the second row and up to 56.3 cu. ft. when you fold the rear seats, the CX-50 Hybrid offers the kind of space that supports coastal life—surf bags, a dog crate, farmers’ market finds, or luggage for two all fit with room to spare.
What sets this cargo area apart is how usable it feels. The opening is wide, the floor is flat, and the deep well helps secure bulky items. The second row folds to expand the space, and the cabin’s durable materials are inspired by high-tech outdoor gear—ideal when your day includes sandy shoes or damp jackets. If your weekend plans stretch beyond town, the available accessories catalog includes Roof Rack Crossbars and compatible cargo solutions that add capacity up top without encroaching on passenger comfort.
For families and active shoppers, how the space works matters as much as the numbers. The CX-50 Hybrid’s loading height, deep floor, and flexible second row simplify the kind of mixed errands and adventures that define the Central Coast. You get hybrid efficiency, the composed drive feel Mazda is known for, and a cargo area that welcomes the unpredictable—whether that’s a spontaneous picnic or a last-minute supply run. It’s practical, but it also feels premium, with thoughtful touches throughout the cabin.
If you’re comparing options, consider how the CX-50 Hybrid’s cargo design pairs with everyday conveniences. Standard Alexa Built-in enables quick, hands-free commands while loading. Wireless Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ keep your playlists and navigation within easy reach. And the MyMazda App with Mazda Connected Services helps you lock the doors or start the engine remotely, which is especially helpful when you’re juggling bags or returning to the vehicle after a long hike.
