Just my personal opinion, but I welcome the choice to make AWD standard on the 2022 model year. Very useful on the occasional light off-roading we do with our CX-5 and one of the main reason why we got the AWD since it rarely snows in NC. Also peace of mind for our road-trips to the North during Winter season.

So it appears Mazda will be making significant updates to the 22 after all. Very strange to me. Maybe they plan to keep the current car around longer and then bring the new 6 cylinder SUV in as a different model? I would not have expected new exterior revisions so late. New front and rear fascias, new lights front and rear, AWD standard. Even more interesting is they have changed the seats. I should have run my lease out and bought a '22....

Honestly, I wish they would just make it the CX-50 and release a slightly longer 2-row (optional 3-row) CX-70.
My wish list:
CX-30: FWD 2-row for people without kids.
CX-50: FWD/AWD 2-row for small families on a budget.
CX-70: FWD/AWD 2-row (optional 3-row) for a NORMAL family. <---What I need
CX-90: AWD 3-row Japanese Suburban.
What I need is something with a little more legroom in both the front and rear seats. No 3rd row, FWD, decent highway car that can be daily driven.
Lost me at AWD standard... 0-1 light snows most years, 2 is rare and a heavy accumulation maybe once a decade.
i have no desire to drag around a light duty rear axle, transfer case etc. along with it's reduction in MPG and more potential costly driveline repairs. I know it's (somewhat) apples to oranges but I saw a lot of rear differentials and some transfer cases in GM & Saab on the FWD based models in my time at a dealer.

That said, even the NA 2.5 in my 2016GT has enough power to roast the front wheels. I'm sure the Turbo 2.5 NEEDS AWD just to get the power down.

The Japanese car manufacturer Mazda, which in Denmark has had reasonable success with the SUVs CX-3, CX-30 and CX-5, is now getting ready to launch several new car models, including two new SUVs.
Thus, in the year 2022, Mazda will launch the model SUV CX-60 on the European market, and later it will be joined by a seven-seater version with three rows of seats, which will be called the CX-80.
From the year 2025, Mazda will also present several new electric cars based on a new platform dedicated to electric cars.
