Looks like we’ll know more next Monday. Right now I see a well defined rear quarter panel with a lot of black plastic around the wheel well.

That plastic on the wheel wells is too thick similar to the cx-30. Too thick vs 17-21 cx-5 for my taste.

I do want a plug-in hybrid like the Rav4 Prime even w/o turbo is fine so less future issues too. Wonder if its similar to it in terms of power. 🧐

This teaser video makes the CX-50 appear much larger than the CX-5, it looks more like the CX-9 with what appears to be a long hood.

I really hope they don't wreck the design with giant plastic cladding like the CX-30.

CX50 is lower than CX5. So, it seems longer.
I bet the lengths will be about the same, but lower by 3-4 inches.
We will see on the 15th.

If the CX-50 is being marketed as the "outdoorsy" model in the Mazda line-up, then I doubt it will be any lower than the CX-5, it will likely be taller.

This sure looks like the current CX-9, similar chrome side skirt too.

A simple two row CX-9?

It looks like Mazda has high expectations for CX-50 sales, matching the existing sales of the CX-5.

As mentioned in the announcement of the enhancement of our SUV products, we will introduce the CX-50 in North America while continuing with the CX-5, and then introduce the CX-70 and CX-90 on top of it, adding the current CX-30 to strengthen and enhance our SUV products. I can't give you a specific figure for the contribution to earnings, but we plan to sell 150,000 units in North America, which is about 500,000 units, so you can imagine how we will position ourselves in that market.

Expect people on these boards to moan and complain and be disappointed. Disappointed with the engine, the transmission, the large black cladding.

I am expecting basically a car in between the size of the CX-9 and CX-5 with only two rows. Hoping the 6 speed is replaced but don't see that happening - except in the Hybrid model which I think might come with a CVT. And also hoping the second row has the same climate controls as the current CX-9.

They have to replace the sixth speed with they're new 8-speed. It is a brand new car which by all means will be larger than the current CX5, even though it is on the same architecture as the CX30. It will not come with a CVT and they will not use any of the Toyota power trains. Fi there's going to be electrification it will be Toyota's technology with Mazda parts. From what I've heard from a dealership, the CX50 will have the most towing capability out of all current Mazda lineup. I suspect they will increase the towing capacity of they're 2.5 Turbo.

From a Japanese Website. It makes sense.
(マツダ新型 CX-50 日本 2022年10月発売)
Longer by 21.5cm and shorter in height by 7cm. (estimate, not fact)

Model length width height wheelbase

Considering the peekaboo preview in the forest, and other hints that have been been dropped about its rugged sportiness, it makes think: Subaru Outback L: 4820mm, W: 1875, H: 1675mm

Just staking my place in line to view all the hate that is going to come Mazda's way tomorrow for ruining the company and all Mazdaland for the ugly mistake they are releasing tomorrow.

Expect it to be close the same size as the CX-5 except it will be wider with a larger trunk area according to Mazda CEO.

That’s certainly a niche Subaru has enjoyed uncontested for decades. I see tons of them on the road. Wouldn’t mind seeing stylish Mazdas instead.
