What's new

The Mazda CX-70 is an all-new five-passenger midsize SUV
Related to the seven-passenger CX-90
2025 is the first year for the CX-70

Overview

Mazda, the carmaker known for its sporty roadsters and hatchbacks, continues to fill in its SUV lineup to meet consumer demand. The latest is the new 2025 CX-70, which slots in between the smaller CX-50 and the three-row midsize CX-90. Like the CX-90, the CX-70 stands out with its elegant styling and fun-to-drive nature. Perhaps that shouldn't be much of a surprise, though — essentially, the CX-70 is a CX-90 with its third-row seat taken out. As such, they look similar to each other from the outside, share identical hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains, and generally have the same features.

Edmunds spotlight: Great interior, so-so infotainment

Step inside the CX-70 and you're treated to an interior that could easily pass for an entry-level luxury SUV. The elegantly simple cockpit makes liberal use of high-quality materials, instantly giving it an advantage over its chief rivals. The rear seat is quite roomy, and ditching the CX-90's third row of seats gives the CX-70 more available cargo space. But we're less fond of the center infotainment screen. The graphics look a little dated, and touchscreen functionality is oddly limited to when you're using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto smartphone integration. For the native interface, you have to use the system's rotary control knob to access menus and functions. You'll likely wish you could use the touchscreen for everything.

Competitors to consider

Among Edmunds' top-rated midsize SUVs is the Honda Passport, which provides loads of comfort and clever storage solutions. Other solid options include the Jeep Grand Cherokee (which also comes in a plug-in-hybrid version), the outdoorsy Subaru Outback and the roomy Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport. The Mazda CX-70 is a little more expensive than most of these rivals but it makes up for it with its performance and sense of style.

Which CX-70 does Edmunds recommend?

For most shoppers, the standard 3.3 Turbo model should have more than enough power to satisfy. Mazda has a reputation for attracting more spirited drivers, and for them, the 3.3 Turbo S may be worth the rather sizable price increase. From there, the Premium package adds enough convenience, infotainment and driver assist features to justify the cost.

Mazda CX-70 models

The 2025 Mazda CX-70 is a five-passenger midsize SUV available in three models that are distinguished mainly by their powertrains: 3.3 Turbo, 3.3 Turbo S and the plug-in hybrid PHEV. Within these models, there are three trim packages: Preferred package, Premium package and Premium Plus package. Keep reading for our rundown of the CX-70's power specs as well as the most significant features you get with each trim package.

The 3.3 Turbo models are powered by a 3.3-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine with 280 horsepower. The 3.3 Turbo S has a modified version of that engine that increases output to 340 hp. The CX-70 PHEV receives a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a plug-in hybrid system. Combined output is 323 hp. Mazda estimates it will drive about 26 miles on all-electric power before switching to regular hybrid operation. All CX-70s use an eight-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels.

2025 Mazda CX-70 First Impressions

byClint Simone

•1/30/2024

Overview

Mazda has a healthy lineup of sport-utility vehicles, starting with the small but affordable CX-30 and culminating in the three-row CX-90. There is, however, a bit of a gap in Mazda's offerings: a roomy SUV for five. That changes with the impending release of the new 2025 Mazda CX-70, which is nearly the same size as the CX-90 but removes the third row for maximum passenger comfort.

While some competitors like the Honda Passport and Jeep Grand Cherokee sport a rugged exterior aesthetic, the CX-70 plants its design firmly in the luxury camp. This SUV is elegant on the outside and handsome inside, with an interior that could rival a BMW or Mercedes. Mazda has lacked a solid midsize SUV in its lineup for some time now, so the CX-70 could be a hit if the price is right.

What’s under the hood?

True Mazda enthusiasts will be happy to know that the CX-70 comes standard with a turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine. This should come with 280 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. Higher trims will get the more powerful version, likely putting out 340 hp and 369 lb-ft.

And like the CX-90, this SUV rides on a rear-wheel-drive-biased platform that should help it handle better than rivals that shunt more power to the front axle. For those who prioritize efficiency over excitement, there is also a four-cylinder plug-in hybrid available, which should offer roughly 26 miles of all-electric range.

How’s the interior?

Mazda used its full bag of tricks on the CX-70’s interior, including the usual pairing of beautiful materials with a clean design. Everything you see and touch feels like what you'd find in a luxury SUV, which gives the Mazda a major edge over its non-luxury-price rivals. We also love Mazda’s use of physical buttons to control all of the car’s major functions, which helps keep distracted driving to a minimum. There’s a new red Nappa leather option that looks fantastic, especially against dark-colored exterior paint.

Perhaps the biggest selling point for the CX-70 is its exceptional passenger space. The second row in particular affords ample legroom and adequate headroom. The cargo area is also generous with additional storage below the floor. While this midsize SUV isn't perfect, the interior is one of the CX-70’s strongest wins.

How’s the tech?

The CX-70's tech offerings are unfortunately a mixed bag. On one hand, the optional 12.3-inch display carried over from the CX-90 is much bigger and better than those in other Mazda vehicles. Features like wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and built-in Amazon Alexa integration are highlights. That said, touchscreen functionality is only allowed within the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto environments, so the native software must be controlled with a dial located rear of the shifter and cupholders. There’s a reason why the industry is moving to touchscreen setups, and we think Mazda should get on board.

Mazda is bringing a handful of new safety features to the CX-70, including Unresponsive Driver Support, which can safely pull the car over if the driver isn't actively controlling the vehicle, as in a medical emergency. This joins the list of available safety tech such as adaptive cruise control, active lane keeping assistance and cross-traffic warning.

Competitors to consider

As a midsize SUV, the Mazda CX-70 will compete against a healthy list of alternatives, including the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Honda Passport, Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport and the upcoming Toyota Crown Signia. Shoppers have more than enough options to pick from in this segment, and we’ll be eager to put the CX-70 through our full range of testing to see where we rank it in the pack.

Edmunds says

Pricing is the most important piece of information that we don’t have for the CX-70. Considering just how similar it is to the CX-90, it would be wise for Mazda to price it a few thousand dollars cheaper. Otherwise, this two-row SUV might be a tough sell.
