At Orem Mazda, we know that choosing the right SUV for your family is about more than just looks or horsepower, it’s about safety, reliability, space, and the thoughtful features that make every trip easier. Whether you’re dropping kids off at school, heading out for a road trip, or navigating the snowy Utah winters, Mazda’s 2025 SUV lineup delivers comfort, safety, and performance in equal measure. Let’s take a closer look at the best new Mazda SUVs for families and what makes them ideal for your busy lifestyle.
Mazda CX-5: Compact SUV with Big Safety Features
The 2025 Mazda CX-5 is a favorite among small families thanks to its sleek styling, nimble size, and advanced safety technology. Perfect for navigating city streets or fitting into tight parking spots, the CX-5 still delivers enough interior space to comfortably seat five passengers and stow everything from sports equipment to groceries.
One of the standout features of the CX-5 is its i-Activsense® safety suite, which includes essential features like Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Smart Brake Support, and Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go. These systems work together to help you stay alert and avoid potential hazards on the road.
Inside, families will appreciate the quiet, upscale cabin with available leather-trimmed seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and rear seat vents — ensuring everyone rides in comfort, regardless of the weather. Add in excellent fuel economy and available all-wheel drive, and the CX-5 proves to be a smart and stylish family choice.
Mazda CX-90: Spacious Three-Row SUV for Growing Families
If you need more room for kids, pets, gear, or all of the above, the 2025 Mazda CX-90 is a family-size SUV designed with versatility in mind. Offering seating for up to eight passengers across three rows, the CX-90 is ideal for larger families or those who love bringing friends along for the ride.
Safety is a top priority in the CX-90. It has earned the prestigious IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating thanks to a suite of advanced features that come standard, including Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Smart Brake Support, Lane Departure Warning with Lane-Keep Assist, and adaptive cruise control.
But the CX-90 isn’t just about protection — it’s also about comfort. Inside, you’ll find three-zone automatic climate control, available Nappa leather upholstery, a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, and USB-C ports in all three rows. Parents will love the easily accessible LATCH anchors, while kids can stretch out or nap on longer drives. Whether you’re headed to the mountains or carpooling across town, the CX-90 adapts to your family’s needs with elegance and confidence.

Mazda CX-50: Rugged Capability for Adventurous Families
For families who love to explore, the 2025 Mazda CX-50 offers rugged capability without sacrificing daily drivability. Built for outdoor adventures and weekend escapes, the CX-50 comes standard with Mazda’s i-Activ AWD® and features like Mazda Intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive), which lets you switch between Normal, Sport, Off-Road, and Towing modes to suit your environment.
Safety remains a key strength here as well. The CX-50 comes equipped with Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Smart Brake Support, and Lane-Keep Assist. These features make it easy to drive with confidence, whether you’re navigating mountain roads or maneuvering in a crowded parking lot.
Inside, the CX-50 delivers a more rugged aesthetic paired with practical family-friendly touches — like wide rear doors for easier car seat installation, ample cargo space (up to 56.3 cubic feet with the seats folded), and optional roof rails for bikes or camping gear. With seating for five and available features like heated front and rear seats, a panoramic moonroof, and a premium Bose® audio system, the CX-50 blends adventure and comfort like no other.
