The CX-90 is definitely built in Hofu so it wouldn't make sense for Mazda to build the CX-70, which rides on the same chassis, in the US. The CX-50 is a bit bigger than the CX-5 in some ways, but is also shorter. As the info you posted above says, "we expect that the standard and minimum cargo capacity will also grow as compared to the carmaker's current two-row crossover models." The question is, by how much? We will know in a couple of weeks...
Just Purchased a 2024 CX-5 Carbon Turbo! Few questions!

Well, THAT is confusing!
So, having both the CX-50 AND the CX-5, the -50 is bigger than the -5 in every external dimension except height. The rear seat has more legroom, however, the rear trunk, although a shade longer, is a bit narrower too. Thus, in terms of useable space with seatbacks UP, I would judge them about the same. With the seats down there's a bit more longitudinal space in the -50. Again though, it has a lower roof, so not as much vertical space in the trunk.
EDIT: Ah upon re-reading @chickdr I guess he meant shorter as in height, not length. Confusion resolved

Yeah, like I said, that's what I see too. The CX-5 has more room because of the taller roof. But, if you load to seatback height (with rear seats down) the CX-50 will still have the edge.
Don't let the base numbers fool you. There is noticeably more 'usable' space in the CX50. 2nd row passengers also have a good amount more space, but you wouldn't know from looking at the official measurements

I agree. I have a 2023 cx5 my neighbor a 2023 cx50 we carpool a fair amount and his seems way more spacious. I think the volume might be the higher roof but that does not translate to actually having more room ( I guess if you are really tall maybe it would matter). I have sat in passenger seat up front in both and in the back in both and cx50 just has more room. I personally think build quality is the same, I know that gets mentioned all the time...maybe the Japanese are slipping or the US are just getting better.

Feel the awkward plastic door handles, reach back for the seat belt and notice how much harder it is to get your hand behind and around it, not to mention the belt material quality, or fiddle with the window/door mounted Bose speakers and you'll change your mind.
Hi, I saw your reply and have a question for you.
My 2024 CX-5's infotainment screen has "FM/AM/Sirius/Bluetooth/USB1/USB2," but both of them are greyed out. Is this an easy fix or a serious problem ? How can I make it to work? Thanks.

Maybe if you plug something into one of the USB ports they will become available?
I just checked our 2024. Both USBs are grayed out if nothing is plugged into them. Once you use them, they turn white.
What are you using them for? What do you have on the USBs?
We have 2 thumb drives with music connected with an adapter (USB-A to USB-C) plugged into the 2 USB C ports.

Thank you so much for your response.
Sounds great, good luck
I bought a OEM NAV Card on Ebay for short $ like $40 and it works fine in my 2019 M6
Easy to set up and compatible. I prefer running GMaps through my I phone maybe because its easier to use.
