I think some folks are confused. The base engine is the 2.5 SA-G. Then the optional engines will be the 2.0 X and supposedly a mild hybrid.
All articles that mention that are guessing. No specs from Mazda, unless you can post otherwise?

Here's the press information from Geneva:
https://insidemazda.mazdausa.com/press-release/2019-geneva-auto-show-press-information-mazda-cx-30/
As was also mentioned during the presentation, the CX-30 is targeted for the European market first, so specs will reflect that incl. engine choice, which will be 2.0 Sky-G (likely with 122hp same as the new 3), 1.8 Sky-D (116hp) and the upcoming Sky-X.
Both Sky-G and Sky-X will be mild-hybrid.
No mention of the 2.5, as that would likely be to big for the European market.
Yeah. New 3 has the 2.5 as base engine.
At least one of the articles said it was the 2.0 NA , but it also said 186 HP so something didn't sound right.
I don't know 2.0L SA-G in the 2019 Miata is 181hp I believe.
After watching that video, the rear seat is still way too small and cargo space is laughable. Mazda can*t get it right. I don*t care what*s under the hood.
If the vehicle isn*t usable, no one will buy it. Mazda has every opportunity to build a better Crosstrek and failed. They just don*t learn from their mistakes.
If Mazda wants to know why Subaru is so successful, pay attention to passengers other than just the driver when engineering a vehicle. The Crosstrek sucks at driving dynamics but is virtually SOLD OUT nation wide because of every other buying metric. Geez.
Also, Crosstrek sales are down 20% from last year, so I don't know why they are so difficult to get.

If you don't mind driving a sled, knock yourself out. Some people will sacrifice a little space to feel something a little less yawn- inducing when they get behind the wheel. Rear seat and storage capacity aren't always at the top of everyone's priority list.

I agree. Honestly cargo space factored in very little to not at all in my buying experience.
It's actually near the bottom for most people. Some people read consumers reports and like moths to a flame "Consumer Reports said the trunk is bigger... must buy....." I mean, how many more grocery bags you going to fit in a CRV vs a CX5? 4?
