I didn’t realize that Sweden was pushing for this. A towing capacity of 2,500kg (5,500lbs) would be a big selling point for some people and will likely apply to the CX-70/90 as well.

One of the arguments Mazda uses to sell the CX-60 is the high towing weight of 2.5 tons.
"It took some work from us in Europe to convince Japan to offer a high towing weight. In Japan, towing weight may not be a completely unknown concept but almost no one pulls trailers. Sweden is one of the countries with the highest requirements for towing weight. Previously, many customers were dissatisfied with the towing weight, but now it is at 2.5 tons without restriction on the slope of the road.
