I’m looking forward to the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid using the Toyota hybrid drivetrain (2.0 toyota engine with 3 electric motors, including electric driving the rear wheels for AWD under ~35 MPH. The CX-50 and Corolla Cross hybrid are built in the same factory, I’m almost positive that the CX-50 Hybrid will use the same drivetrain as the Corolla Cross Hybrid AWD.
HOWEVER. I probably won’t be buying one, because I expect it to start around 40k MSRP and only go up from there. Which is still, in my opinion, not an affordable vehicle. Of course, different people’s definition of affordable will vary greatly.
