Unfortunately according to my research, neither vehicle you referenced is flat towable due to the fact that they're both AWD. Attempting to flat tow either vehicle would damage the drivetrain, I'm sorry to say. FWD models can be towed on a tow dolly like # RM-2050-1.
I'll link you to one of our help articles that goes through a listing of the most popular vehicles for flat towing, as well as recommended flat towing setups for each model. If you haven't purchased the Mazda yet, you can find a vehicle on the list that will work well for you.
