Mazda recently announced that by 2023 they will be adding 3 new SUVs to their already impressive line-up. They are the CX-50, the CX-70 and CX-90. The CX-50 will be the first to make its way into a Mazda dealership showroom near you. Mazda will be able to produce the CX-50 so quickly because the automaker will use the same platform on which they make the CX-30 to produce it. Mazda said they will reveal the new CX-50 as early as next month. Sources say the new CX-50 will be built at the Mazda Huntsville, Alabama factory. It is anticipated that the CX-50 will enter production as early as January.

What To Expect

Insiders say the new CX-50 will probably be a mid size crossover much like the current Mazda CX-5. They say the new CX-50 is expected to have some black body cladding and Mazda will sell it alongside the CX-5. It is expected that the starting price of the CX-50 when it gets to the Mazda dealership showrooms will likely be just a few thousand dollars more than the current starting price of the CX-5. It is believed buyers can expect to see the new Mazda CX-50 make its debut in November of 2022. That means some lucky buyers will be able to get a newly released Mazda CX-50 for Christmas 2022. 

Employing A New Longitudinal Architecture

Mazda will use their new six-cylinder engine longitudinal architecture to build both the CX-70 and the CX-90. Both vehicles are expected to arrive early in 2022. No specific information related to the automotive design, bumper, grille or even headlamp of the CX-70 and CX-90 has been revealed to the general public at this point. The only clue is they will probably have inline six-cylinder engines based on the longitudinal architecture on which their construction is based. Sources say the new vehicles will have plug-in-hybrid options. 

Fulfilling Luxury Automobile Aspirations

Mazda may be taking its luxury automobile aspirations to another level with the introduction of these three new SUVs. Two of the new vehicles are going to use Mazda’s long-awaited longitudinal architecture which features an inline-six-cylinder engine, as well as plug-in-hybrid options. Both the two row CX-70 and the three-row CX-90 will be built based on Mazda’s new architecture and many anticipate these vehicles will be more luxurious than previous models. Combine that with Mazda vehicles stellar reputation for exceptional performance and these new vehicles could be exceptional indeed.

A Choice Of Engines

Although Mazda has confirmed that the CX-70 and CX-90 will have wide body designs, the automaker says buyers can choose whether to have them equipped with a turbocharged inline-six engine or an inline-four engine working with the new plug-in-hybrid powertrain. Like all other Mazda CX models, the CX-50, CX-70 and CX-90 will have all-wheel drive as standard. Both the CX-50 and the CX-70 will be introduced as new models that will be added to the already exceptional Mazda line. The CX-90, however, will take the place of the Mazda CX-9.
