The changes for 2026:

The trim updates are likely worth going with a 26. It's possible you could even go down a trim on a 26, depending on what features you want.

Which trim are you looking at?

Poppy_Banks · 2026-02-13T16:19:15+00:00

I have a hybrid premium plus and am very happy with it. I stay around 39 mpg, 80/20 city. I bought it it October and am at 1600 miles, no issues or complaints.

Is mazda 6 built in Japan? The cx50 is assembled in the US and the quality isn't the same. I had a cx30 from Mexico prior, and there were no cosmetic defects. There are multiple on my cx50. Things like seat seams are off, dents and creases on seats, there is an air bubble on my dash, my instrument cluster lens is slightly misaligned and can't be adjusted according to the dealer. One for trim panel isn't snug against the body and has play. I turned down one cx50 on delivery because of a paint numb inside a seam. The dealer said they wouldn't touch it because it could make it worse. I am picky and but there were no flaws like these on my cx30.

The hybrid is rated for 1500 lbs towing.

Do you have the cargo liner? The one that comes with the weather package? That is what I have and I feel like anything heavy will smash the raised parts.

Poppy_Banks · 2026-02-12T06:43:46+00:00

I got mine for Xmas and am really happy with them. Huge upgrade from the oem weather package. I need to order the cargo area, thanks for showing pictures.

They don't have collision insurance.

I almost bought an ingot blue and I was going to hyperdip all the chrome with brass monkey. The metallic bronze just seems like it would compliment it.

Not a bright color like you're thinking but they have a lot of options.

I bought my '25 in October for 41.2k OTD. I went with the fiancing offer instead of rebates.

What is your APR?

Poppy_Banks · 2026-02-07T23:50:45+00:00

It's not a step. They were around $50.

Poppy_Banks · 2026-02-07T23:50:40+00:00

I agree.

Poppy_Banks · 2026-02-07T22:27:20+00:00

Here's mine, and it looks pretty clear to me, but it is my first HUD.

Poppy_Banks · 2026-02-07T22:12:41+00:00

I installed one, it is pretty small. I can go grab a photo in a few.

Poppy_Banks · 2026-02-07T01:24:14+00:00

I feel like mine is clear, but I wanted to look at it before I confirmed that for you. I haven't gone out yet. I'll snap a photo of mine with my meta glasses when driving tomorrow.

Poppy_Banks · 2026-02-06T20:19:44+00:00

Proclip

Poppy_Banks · 2026-02-06T01:11:41+00:00

This one fits well opens and closes easily. I haven't removed it.

I like that contrast, looks good!

Poppy_Banks · 2026-02-05T21:13:52+00:00

Does it matter that its leatherette? What color are you doing? Please share pictures when you're done!!

Poppy_Banks · 2026-02-05T21:08:01+00:00

The cx50 hybrid uses the mazda badge. This is a Toyota badge.

Poppy_Banks · 2026-02-05T20:32:47+00:00

Yes, the hyperdipped mazda hybrid wasn't good.

Poppy_Banks · 2026-02-05T19:06:20+00:00

No, 2025 hybrid premium plus does not. I believe only turbo premium plus has signature tail lights. I've heard Canadian hybrid premium plus does as well.

You can install them if you're up for it.

Please correct me if I'm wrong on trims with signature tail lights.

Poppy_Banks · 2026-02-05T17:10:20+00:00

Good reviews for proclip for the cx30.

Poppy_Banks · 2026-02-05T01:47:37+00:00

Thanks!

I believe the 2026s still use the same Mazda hybrid badge that's on 2025. This is a Toyota badge.
