It gets plowed, but that’s pretty much it from October to May The road is what is called “dirt” in New Hampshire and it is maintained by an individual with a pickup truck. One we knew was open end to end and not too far from a recovery tow if need be. We chose a middle type of road on which to try out the CX-50 Turbo Premium Plus. Honestly, we love passing that sign in the right vehicle.
These are often marked with warnings saying “Road Not Maintained In Winter.” The implication is that you are looking for trouble by passing that sign. There are some dirt roads that the local municipality cares for, others that a local homeowners’ association takes care of, some that individuals keep open, an miles of dirt roads, logging roads, and trails that nobody cares for. If you live in New England, one place to find dirt roads, private unmaintained trails, and as much mud as you desire is central New Hampshire. As you will see, we are fond of the vehicle. You can enjoy a general review of the CX-50 here. And because it was the one Mazda sent us to test.
Why? Because all CX-50s have an “Off-Road” mode. In the Mazda CX-50 model line that trim is called the Meridian Edition. Mazda, Subaru, Toyota, Hyundai, Kia, Honda, Jeep, and many other brands now market their crossovers and SUVs with a special trim a bit more capable off pavement than the rest of the line. We decided to do exactly that and see how the CX-50 Turbo Premium Plus handled muddy trails. One thing that is not in doubt is that Mazda has marketed the CX-50 as a vehicle that can go past the end of the pavement. Many CX-5 owners scratch their heads and wonder why two vehicles with nearly identical interior volumes are being sold side by side. Some view it as an upscale Subaru Outback. Mazda’s 2023 CX-50 crossover is many things to many buyers.
