![]() ![]() A hybrid version of the Corolla Cross is also in the cards, but, because of its smaller size, its powertrain is not likely to be powerful enough for the larger CX-50.Įxpect to hear more about the CX-50 hybrid next year, as Mazda will likely release details a few months after the nonhybrid models go on sale in the spring. We think that the CX-50 hybrid will use a similar setup as the Toyota RAV4 hybrid, which has a 2.5-liter inline-four as its gasoline engine and two electric motor-generators. The two crossovers are built on separate lines and fit into different size classes, with the Corolla Cross competing against subcompact SUVs and the CX-50 serving as a compact entry. However, Coleman said that the nonhybrid CX-50-which uses a Mazda platform and Skyactiv gasoline engines-does not share any parts with the Toyota Corolla Cross that's also built there. The CX-50 already has ties to Toyota, as it will be built in a new factory in Alabama shared between the two automakers.
