Regarding the back seat sliding mechanism, the lack of a third row doesn't negate its usefulness. If you have a large item that's just slightly too long to fit in the cargo area, you can simply slide the back seat forward a bit without having to fold it down. This means you can transport your large item AND still have a fully usable back seat at the same time if the need arises. My friend's Hyundai Ioniq 5 has this feature and it's been surprisingly useful.
Thank you for posting what I was just about to 😂. We’ve all been there.. “Darn it I’ve got a passenger or a car seat in the rear seat and I’ve got a box in the trunk that’s just an inch too long.. wish I could scooch the seat forward to get that trunk lid to close!”
I have a cx-5 and I like the rotary controller. Once you get used to it, I find it more convenient. I don't have to bend forward and I take my eyes off the road less with the dial then I do with the touch screen.
I agree, after a few weeks with it i love it and would not want a car without it, i think most people that complain about it, never used it for any amount of time.
I like the new CX-70/CX-90, but the you get what you paid for truly comes into light. My only desire is for Mazda to add an adjustable thigh support and maybe make that rear arm rest a bit better design.

25 mpg mixed, over 30 mpg real world on the highway with a RWD based, turbo 6 cylinder… When everything on the market right now is a screaming turbo 4 that for most real world drivers, struggle to barely cross 20 mpg, if not high teens, daily. Needs to be on billboards screamed through the rooftop. Everyone complains about mpg’s, yet here’s a turbo 6 RWD base that crushes every competitor real world…and can slalom corners…and doesn’t break…and is… This platform and drive is something more need to experience, and toss around. Owners love them, they’re Japan built, and even incentives are through the roof. Winning combo, still smaller than most minivan tank competitors. “Minivan tank without sliding doors” is truly what every Telluride, Palisade, GM triplet, Nissan & Infiniti twin, Pilot & Grand Highlander boat, etc are, which is fine, but no comparison to these.

@plutoxxxxxxx unfortunately it's both. To make it worse the bumper looks like it should have dual exhaust. It would look absolutely amazing with dual exhaust but unfortunately it doesn't have it. I've seen people do it after market and it just looks perfect. A big miss there.
Sorry some of us don't want to use our phone for EVERYTHING..a factory GPS is something I want..and the rotary is very easy to use plus it is a safety issue so people are not distracted even more from using their damn phones all the time
I will say the wheel for the infotainment system isn’t annoying. I’ve owned a cx-50 for about 6 months now and I’ve gotten so use to it I prefer using it over a touch screen. I catch myself trying to reach for it whenever driving a different car lol.
Omg. Stop complaining about the same size thing. It is what it is. My wife and I still got one and we LOVE the abundance of space. Especially when compared to our old 2023 CX-5 Signature. It handles just as well as the CX-5 but a little different. It actually sticks to the road better than our CX-5 did. Maybe better. It is a better balanced car. The drive train has improved as we put more miles on. And it launches better. Not sure if that's me adapting to the car or visa versa. And we love the way the infotainment is. Simple, functional, decidedly unflashy. Want flashy? Android auto and Apple car play wireless. Need more than that. Get something else with a ridiculous panel screen. We're closing in on 4 thousand miles on our Rhodium White CX-70 Turbo S and loving it.
If it’s going to compete with BMW, it needs at least 14 way adjustable seats. I don’t hear enough people talk about seat comfort when it comes to comparing “premium” vehicles to luxury vehicles.
100%, 12 way isn't enough, but 14 is still trash. You need at *least* the Porsche 22-way adjustable seat to even approach an acceptable level of comfort. If my nuts can't be supported at their prevailing individual height, there is no way I'll ever be comfortable. (BMW make some of the hardest-riding vehicles with some of the least comfortable seats on the planet.)
..this was not meant to compete with BMW, Audi or Mercedes ! MAZDA's philosophy was to offer you something close for less money. In fact, that's true of all their models. However, they are supposed to compete with : Toyota, Honda, Hyundai/Kia , and VW.
Both are fantastic and top choices in a larger suv. It's not a BMW and doesn't pretend to be. There are no packaging deficiency. Love my CX-90. Embrace the rotatory knob. It's the best design, hands down.
While waiting on my oil change (free by dealer) on my cx5 sig, I test drove the cx-70 turbo S and it was really fun to drive. The inline 6 sound is so much better than the 4cylinder in my Cx5 haha and, even for its size, it's a fun SUV to drive. It also looks better imo than the cx90 as there's no stupid chrome.
10:04 you’re still implying in your videos that Mazda isn’t necessarily a luxury offering.. and while they may not self-identify as a “lux” brand, they have modestly established their portfolio and image as a premium sports brand for decades now. That’s what Mazda prefers to be labeled as if they even have to be labeled.. they deserve that recognition because that’s what they are and don’t boast about themselves. They appeal to a very specific market and know what their audience wants.. they’re not in the game to be an “alternative” or a “Japanese BMW.” Mazda is Mazda.
I like the direction Mazada is going especially with the drivetrain, Im sure the aftermarket can do a lot more with the new I6 Turbo over that SkyActive weak motor.

Good points and the 25 Type S is $20K MORE than the CX-70. However, the Type S is more luxurious and an exquisite Sound System. Although I have not tested the CX-70 (and I will) , many have said that the MDX is much more comfortable and the seats offer better support. A Big Plus in the comparison is in MPGs!! The CX-70 is at least 30% Better than the Type S!
Every time this guy does a review on a mazda he always has something stupid to criticize about it. Constructive criticism is great and all but come on dude
I don't know why every reviewer gets the back of the CX70 wrong by suggesting they carry the CX90 cupholders over to the CX70. They are NOT the same. What one might do with them, I don't know, but the same, they are not.
If Mazda slapped some fog lights on this vehicle, it would complete the look. All that waste of space with no functionality…. Maybe some staggered fog lights or something Mazda… lol
I test drove the CX 90 last week with the 280 HP inline 6 preferred package and I had a blast driving it. I'm considering trading for the 90 tho. The 70 has cooler colors tho but the 5 seat thing doesn't make much sense to me
I’m looking at get a midsize suv. Came to check your review for this vehicle. A lot of pple have told me Mazda is reliable. I was looking at the Kia sorento.
I really wish this top trim had ventilated second row seats with the bench since they restrict that to Captain's chairs in the CX-90 which is so stupid. If Hyundai figured out how to have ventilated 2nd row seats in a bench seat for the Palisade SEL Premium & Jeep did the same for the Grand Cherokee 2-row, then Mazda should've done it to undercut the Grand Cherokee 2-row which is the only mainstream 2-row option that has that
This was on my short list for my next car but the new power train is still giving me pause. Thinking a certified used MDX Advanced or GX460 for the reliability but man this thing looks so good and loved the CX-9 and any Mazda I’ve driven.
My guess is that the dash, in front of the infotainment screen, will get dingy very quickly. It needs to brought forward and made fully touch sensitive for all of its functions. Leave the climate controls alone though….I love buttons, switches, and knobs.
@@cablebrain9691 what troll? Mazda owners insist Mazda to not follow the trend. And many new owners began to love this approach. Go to toyota if you worship the touchscreen capabilities kid
I like the CX70, but I feel like Mazda really missed the mark with it. If they made it the "coupe" body style and added some fog lights and dual exhausts, it would be damn near perfect IMO.
Mazda, please put that I6 in a sedan! Edit: Launch Control? In this SUV it'll only be used by YTers, auto journalists, and teenagers. I'd venture to say vast majority of CX-70 owners will never, ever, use the Launch Control. There's no reason for Mazda to put in the Launch Control only to appease journalists, lest they get sued by ignorant parents when their teenagers eventually crash the car.
What fuel and at what elevation and temp ? You are wrong about touch screen, big reason I buy Mazda is the control knob and interphace instead of just plain old touch screen that is going cheap.
Why people complain too much that this is just a cx 90 with no 3rd row. Get over it.. thats what mazda offers and never mind the badge. There are still some difference on each one. What if mazda made the cx 70 smaller? Then people would still complain" why dont just buy a cx 50.. or a cx 5"? C'mon.. how bout the grand higlander and lexus tx? A grand caravan and town and country? A civic and nsx? And many more? Whats are the differences? Just the BADGE!
Like so many others, I was shocked that these dimensions are the exact same as the CX-90. Everyone knows they should have shortened this model and maybe made it a little sportier than the 90. Hopefully they learn their lesson over the next couple years and introduce a better option.
@@PCConditioning they learned their lesson that they are doing right. It already sells very well. Mazda dont need an opinion from people who are going to hate Mazda especially so called journalists
Because the value and size focused US market would be really greedy to get a smaller SUV for same price, right? The CX-60 is not cheaper in Europe… it is $60,000 in UK after conversion.
@@tapper701 flickering? That is just because of the camera frame rate idiot. Plus, Mazda owners prefer this pulsing turn signals to stay. Your opinion didnt matter
Im in the minority for sure, but I like this, and I get what they were going for. Just too expensive… The Passport is also a large 2 row crossover, costs about $12k less than this, and is quicker. I get that the Mazda’s interior is objectively nicer, but $12k nicer? Idk man…
@XX-166 that's a very childish response. Are you on sometbing? Yes, he is, so I asked why he thinks it's a good feature to have in this kind of vehicle. What's your problem with that?
@@67keyakaren68 Well, I would think he would know. He reviews cars daily. A quick google search revealed this quote from one of the designers: “For the decoration panel, we imagined a wood that has a metal-like shine, but is neither wood or metal.” So it looks like it isn’t wood.
Why do all the reviewers keep saying these don't have a torque converter? They do. They just use clutches for every gear after 1st. It works just like ZF's 8HP, which has been around for about 10 years now. It's nothing unusual or unproven at this point.

Slays? This isn't Tiktok.
@@janoycresnova9156 boomer maga alert!!
@@67keyakaren68 you sound like a moron bro.
Good points and the 25 Type S is $20K MORE than the CX-70. However, the Type S is more luxurious and an exquisite Sound System. Although I have not tested the CX-70 (and I will) , many have said that the MDX is much more comfortable and the seats offer better support. A Big Plus in the comparison is in MPGs!! The CX-70 is at least 30% Better than the Type S!
Every time this guy does a review on a mazda he always has something stupid to criticize about it. Constructive criticism is great and all but come on dude
I don't know why every reviewer gets the back of the CX70 wrong by suggesting they carry the CX90 cupholders over to the CX70. They are NOT the same. What one might do with them, I don't know, but the same, they are not.
Love the CX-70 I6 it's powerful and spacious. 🎉now needs to be RX sizes. 🥺 And adaptive dampers
If Mazda slapped some fog lights on this vehicle, it would complete the look. All that waste of space with no functionality…. Maybe some staggered fog lights or something Mazda… lol
The fact that this big vehicle is being compared to an Outback and Crown Insignia 🤣🤣🤣 blows my mind!
@@KhrissyDaDon Mazda playing 4D chess
I test drove the CX 90 last week with the 280 HP inline 6 preferred package and I had a blast driving it. I'm considering trading for the 90 tho. The 70 has cooler colors tho but the 5 seat thing doesn't make much sense to me
I wonder how it would turn out sales wise if it were possible to put the 3.3 in the Mazda 6
They promised to put the new inline 6 into the next generation Mazda 6 and then they backed out, probably because of the economy.
Now put that same I6 in a new gen Mazda 6.
I actually like the physical buttons of my Mazda. It’s all muscle movement.
God I'm sick and tired of people comparing the new Mazda offerings to BMW when Jaguar would make a far more equal comparison
Where's the new gen CX-5? It's been forever.
Couldn't help but notice you described as " annoying" several features and functions I approve of. Should I conclude you prefer bmw, just wondering.
I absolutely love your reviews but its like the 70 & 90 have been reviewed all ways of sunday 😂
We feel the same way! lol. Luckily, we’ll be testing out the new CX-50 Hybrid next month :)
Very luxurious
I’m looking at get a midsize suv. Came to check your review for this vehicle. A lot of pple have told me Mazda is reliable. I was looking at the Kia sorento.
I really wish this top trim had ventilated second row seats with the bench since they restrict that to Captain's chairs in the CX-90 which is so stupid. If Hyundai figured out how to have ventilated 2nd row seats in a bench seat for the Palisade SEL Premium & Jeep did the same for the Grand Cherokee 2-row, then Mazda should've done it to undercut the Grand Cherokee 2-row which is the only mainstream 2-row option that has that
@@CarsandTechInfo i agree
this one looks really good
Basically… “it’s no BMW and I’d never own one, but it might be good enough for you.”
Only one thing matters, if the man who purchased the vehicle is happy, that's all that matters, and our opinion doesn't matter
Funny thing is… in 10 years time, the Mazda will be worth more than the BMW X-5 and costs 10’s of thousands less new.
As good as the x5 is though, they’re everywhere literally. Might as well go for something different.
Great looking outside and in but that damn engine whine would be a dealbreaker for me. Definitely room for improving Generation 2 of this vehicle.
Great review. Salamat!
This was on my short list for my next car but the new power train is still giving me pause. Thinking a certified used MDX Advanced or GX460 for the reliability but man this thing looks so good and loved the CX-9 and any Mazda I’ve driven.
Mazda just needs to go full touchscreen all the time.
No they dont need to. Go to other brand if you dont like it
Good review.
BMW B58 engines with a 48v mild hybrid system also have traditional starter sounds FWIW.
My guess is that the dash, in front of the infotainment screen, will get dingy very quickly. It needs to brought forward and made fully touch sensitive for all of its functions. Leave the climate controls alone though….I love buttons, switches, and knobs.
No. Mazda dont need to hear your silly whine. Bye
@@plutoxxxxxxx Thank you for your contribution, Mr. Troll.
@@cablebrain9691 what troll? Mazda owners insist Mazda to not follow the trend. And many new owners began to love this approach. Go to toyota if you worship the touchscreen capabilities kid
@@plutoxxxxxxx You’re not even a ‘good’ troll. You probably live in Japan and work for Mazda. Your English is awful.
I wish they had this trim for the Phev model. Canada has it available, we need it in the USA also.
For the price, Mazda cheaped out on having the seats and mirrors adjust to each remote and seats setting.
The mirrors adjust with the Driver Personalization System. I'll have to confirm whether that's the case when using the Seat Memory buttons.
@@vince-g6f the side mirrors and the seat do adjust individually for each fob, and the preferences for the HUD you just have to set them
@@Ramoono this must be only in the premium plus because the premium doesn’t do it.
@@vince-g6fthen delete your embarassing comment. Do some research next time kid
@@vince-g6f no they didnt. Shut up
I like the CX70, but I feel like Mazda really missed the mark with it. If they made it the "coupe" body style and added some fog lights and dual exhausts, it would be damn near perfect IMO.
Mazda, please put that I6 in a sedan!
Edit: Launch Control? In this SUV it'll only be used by YTers, auto journalists, and teenagers. I'd venture to say vast majority of CX-70 owners will never, ever, use the Launch Control. There's no reason for Mazda to put in the Launch Control only to appease journalists, lest they get sued by ignorant parents when their teenagers eventually crash the car.
They were planning that in a next gen Mazda6 but that's not happening at least for now.
I don't want a touch screen while I'm driving because I'm too busy playing Valorant.
13:12 Sounds like the first note to Carly Simon's Nobody Does It Better. Nice SUV though.
What fuel and at what elevation and temp ?
You are wrong about touch screen, big reason I buy Mazda is the control knob and interphace instead of just plain old touch screen that is going cheap.
Why people complain too much that this is just a cx 90 with no 3rd row. Get over it.. thats what mazda offers and never mind the badge. There are still some difference on each one. What if mazda made the cx 70 smaller? Then people would still complain" why dont just buy a cx 50.. or a cx 5"? C'mon.. how bout the grand higlander and lexus tx? A grand caravan and town and country? A civic and nsx? And many more? Whats are the differences? Just the BADGE!
I don’t understand why car manufacturers stopped putting 4-way lumbar in their vehicles.
Looks like the tall awkward kid in every high school. Lol
More color choices flexibility, fog lights during a storm at night would be nice...
Like so many others, I was shocked that these dimensions are the exact same as the CX-90. Everyone knows they should have shortened this model and maybe made it a little sportier than the 90. Hopefully they learn their lesson over the next couple years and introduce a better option.
@@PCConditioning they learned their lesson that they are doing right. It already sells very well. Mazda dont need an opinion from people who are going to hate Mazda especially so called journalists
They need to bring the cx-60 to the US
Because the value and size focused US market would be really greedy to get a smaller SUV for same price, right? The CX-60 is not cheaper in Europe… it is $60,000 in UK after conversion.
The color looks great ... The front & rear turn signals, IMHO, would be better if sequential, not flickering ...
Yeahhhh that diminished signal is weird.
@@tapper701 flickering? That is just because of the camera frame rate idiot. Plus, Mazda owners prefer this pulsing turn signals to stay. Your opinion didnt matter
Was the transmission in sport? Does the transmission have a sport setting?
Just FYI The audio is really bad
Was listening to the review in my car and I thought the windows were slightly open. Drove me nuts
You referring to the Bose audio?
Im in the minority for sure, but I like this, and I get what they were going for. Just too expensive… The Passport is also a large 2 row crossover, costs about $12k less than this, and is quicker. I get that the Mazda’s interior is objectively nicer, but $12k nicer? Idk man…
You’re forgetting the inline 6 and RWD dynamics you’ll get on the Mazda. Thr passport has sh awd but it’s not as rear biased as the Mazda
@@naveenthemachineThe passport has a perfectly fine NA v6. And so what if it's not RWD? Not everyone needs that for this price.
@@KAYJAYSTUDIOSYT RWD helps with towing. There is no replacement of being able to power the rear wheels 100% full time.
My guess is the reliability of this over the VW will save you more than 12,000 dollars in repairs over the long run.
@@marvinmurakami8828 you mean Honda? Passport is honda. Atlas Cross sport is VW

For the price…Mazda should consider utilizing real wood. That car fully loaded is crossing in the luxury section of the segment.
Is it not real wood? The CX-90 Turbo S Premium Plus comes with real wood.

Why do all the reviewers keep saying these don't have a torque converter? They do. They just use clutches for every gear after 1st. It works just like ZF's 8HP, which has been around for about 10 years now. It's nothing unusual or unproven at this point.
