The same thing referenced in Canada with the GX is happening in the US to the 3s. The three lowest trim levels of 2020 FWD Mazda3 sedans also do not have cylinder deactivation. Only the top trim gets CD. Meanwhile, all of the AWD Mazda3s, sedan and hatch, get CD. FWD hatchbacks get CD, too.
We'll see if this expands to other models when the rest of the 20s are announced. CX-5 Sport maybe?
So wouldn't it be nice if they would just deplete their inventory of CD engines-- dump them on the higher trim levels, because it's a "desirable" feature LOL. Then get back to the proven design in 21 for all models [plus turbo, of course] while we wait for Skyactiv-X.
For that matter, maybe CD was always just intended as a stopgap until X is released.
