Braggmann acknowledges that the exterior design of the new C40 Recharge is attractive and that the driving dynamics focused on comfort and ride quality to some extent make up for its other shortcomings.

Normel praises the CX-50 for its more aggressive exterior aesthetics, surprisingly generous cargo space, responsive steering, and the ability to use mirroring and smartphone functions via the touchscreen while the vehicle is in motion. However, what drew criticism was the less user-friendly touchscreen, the rough ride when equipped with 20-inch wheels, an unappealing engine soundtrack, and the need for premium gas for top performance. Overall, the review concluded that the CX-50 looks a lot like the CX-5, and very little like a superior off-road vehicle, for a solid recommendation.
