It looks like production has already started in Alabama.
There are some nice close ups and a video as well on that site. Can't wait to see this in person.

I don’t think that is chrome. That looks like the white protective tape that goes on new vehicles. I just saw that same tape on the pillar of a CX-3 at a dealer I drove by today.Really, chromed B and C pillars....
Hope those are not standard.
I don't think any actual dimensions or specs are available yet, but one thing that all of the articles and reports agree on is that it will be slightly longer than the CX-5, which is about 179". I'd guess that the CX-50 will be around 185" in total length.
It's conveniently located next to TCS OFF. It's Mazda's first go with it in the US. I guess Mazda needs to milk mpgs wherever they can find them. Here's a fresh video on the subject.Here is a closeup of the features in the CX-50 including iStop OFF.
At least this has been around in Japan and Europe for close to 10 years with Mazda so bugs have been worked out. I just don’t think the gas savings are worth it.It's conveniently located next to TCS OFF. It's Mazda's first go with it in the US. I guess Mazda needs to milk mpgs wherever they can find them.

2023 Mazda CX-50 is Getting New, Old I-Stop Technology
The 2023 Mazda CX-50 is being made in Alabama, USA and will be the first to bring some new technology to the US. The i-stop (or idle stop) technology from M...www.youtube.com
Note that this system does not use the starter. The engine restarts through cylinder compression. What's the over/under on the number of TSBs?
This 10 year old technology had a 2020 recall for 2019 models in Australia, UK and Europe. The vehicles failed to restart. These might all be 1.5 L diesels but I don't feel like digging any further.At least this has been around in Japan and Europe for close to 10 years with Mazda so bugs have been worked out.

He's using the video from when the CX-50 was shown in Canada in mid-November:he guy seems like a total Bozo, and unless he just likes trying to sound intelligent, I have no idea why he keeps calling the CX-5 boring and no different than any other compact SUV.
But it seems like one of the better walk-around video I've seen yet. It looks like he's using someone else's video, but I can't find it anywhere else
The all-new 2022 Mazda CX-50 is NOT your average BORING crossover here’s why!
Normally I wouldn't be too excited but the 2022 Mazda CX-50 is a little special. It has some pretty unique features for this segment that are a unusual but a...www.youtube.com
If you end up choosing the CX-50 out of those options, I recommend getting the turbo. I’ve had a naturally aspirated CX-5 and a CX-9 (Turbo) and it’s a night and day difference in terms of power around town and throttle response from a stop. Having the turbo really changes the dynamic of the car. Having that low-end torque makes everyday driving just a better experience.Hi everyone, new poster here. Happy NY. I've been going back and forth for the last 2 years on what '2nd' car to buy for our household. COVID has basically 'allowed' us to keep on punting the decision down the road. As a quick background, our main car is the 2019 Audi A8L, and we're exploring a 2nd car. Reliability, corrosion resistance, build quality (both the stuff one can see and one cannot see) are the top 3 items for me. I will warn folks that I am a geek at heart and very much pay attention to the details, but I do have to be cognizant that the next car won't be a six figure car. Practicality (e.g. hauling stuff) is the main reason why we're exploring a 2nd car. The A8L is a gorgeous and lovely car to drive, but it is immensely impractical.
The CX50 is the first Mazda I'm considering (ever). I've always heard great things, but please correct me on the below in case I'm wrong:
1) There is a spare tire on the CX50 and that it doesn't use run flats
2) Sadly, the rear suspension is a torsion beam (from the CX30?)
3) Corrosion resistance on Mazdas is massively improved these days.
4) The CX50 *should* be on the quieter side (wind noise/road noise) despite it being the 'off road' version
5) Seat comfort should be pretty good?
The budget is quite all over the place, but these are the cars I've written off
1) CRV (new) - because of corrosion concerns
2) Lexus RX (used) -> theft, and just generally a terrible UI for the multi media interface
3) Subaru (Outback) - because of paint concerns, windshields cracking, and a jerky power band (the 2.4T)
4) Lexus NX - > Run flat tires
Cars that are in contention
1) Audi A4 allroad (used)
2) Lexus LS (used - last gen, but very hard to find low mileage models)
3) Mazda CX50 (new)
4) Maybe an old C or E class wagon (I recognize these have RFTs, sadly)
Frankly, the CX50 is at the top of my list because I can probably buy it new/fully loaded from a budget perspective. Reliability should be pretty good too.
Any thoughts?
