Bit puzzled that the hybrid won't show up till 2027 yet they launch this anyways (and it won't show up till Spring 2026) - not like the current one is not selling well.
Overall, this looks like a winner once the hybrid shows up (and if the hybrid is good).
Aside: I'm completely baffled at how Mazda spends their R&D dollars on so many powertrains. It's nuts and a huge waste. A turbo six, a compression ignition gas engine, a PHEV, a silly EV (MX-30), a Toyota hybrid, a soon to be new Skyactiv-Z engine, and exploration on rotaries that never ends all on top of their Skyactiv-G engines. There's no way that's good spending.

They’re basically Japanese Saab.
Instead of night mode and fighter jet stuff, fanboys love the knobs n Jinba Ittai bs
They blow money on all sorts of weird shit, get acquired by a bigger company than wants their engine tech.
GM got Saab’s turbo expertise & turbo 4
Toyota used Skyactiv expertise to build Dynamic Force
