Some weeks ago, a half japanese announced that the next generation Mazda CX-5 would change its name to CX-50, citing an anonymous source internal to the brand. Mazda raises its voice and clarifies through a statement that said information is false and nothing published is true.
Among the information disclosed by the site Spyder7 There was also an image that advanced the different engines that would be offered with the alleged CX-50, where a 2.5-liter turbo engine, some mild-hybrid variants and even a 3.0-liter SKYACTIV-X around 285 hp was mentioned. In this regard, Mazda mentions that These formats do not correspond to those that work in the brand.

Mazda registered the names CX-10 to CX-90, and that’s proven
Mazda makes it clear to us that the next CX-5 will not change its name, however, the nomenclature “CX-50” is registered by Mazda in different trademark patent offices around the world, including the United States, as we have been able to confirm. The registration dates from July 5, 2019 and includes all variants from the CX-10 to the CX-90, ten by ten.
