The 2025 Mazda CX-70 Is The 2-Row Zoom-Zoom You've Been Waiting For

  • Looking for something more fun than a Passport or Outback? Want an X5 for less? Think Jeep's Grand Cherokee is too much? Well, there's a sexy new Mazda for you! The new 2025 Mazda CX-70 is all you'd imagine from a cropped version of the CX-90. Like the CX-90m the CX-70 is RWD based (but AWD standard) with Mazda's new inline 6 engines under the hood and an available plug in hybrid.
    About that cropping: Mazda won’t comment on whether the CX-70 is actually shorter than the CX-90. So, I could be crazy in thinking that the proportions are better because it’s possible this is just a 90 without the third row. Hopefully we will know more soon.

    About that smaller part: Mazda won’t comment on whether the CX-70 is *actually shorter* than the CX-90. So, I could be crazy in thinking that the proportions are better because it’s possible this is just a 90 without the third row. Hopefully we will know more soon. More: it looks like it is the same size after all, but still waiting on more info

      Edmunds says the Mazda reps confirmed this has basically the same dimensions. So weird if that’s the case, debuting what was thought to be a new vehicle when in fact it’s the same minus a row of seats.

    *This* is what took them so long to debut??? It's barely any different from CX-90. We've already seen this trick in the VW Atlas/Cross Sport and the Honda Pilot/Passport. Mazda should've just given us a slightly larger CX-60 as originally expected. I see zero reason to not just get a 90 and keep the third row folded, and then you still have the extra seats just in case.

      I hope it is the case. Finding stations in our new Mazda are a pain with multiple point and clicks - very hard to do when driving. You have to save stations so you only have to push the center button to scroll though pre programed favorites. Once we did that it was easier. The touchscreen car we have is still easier but we make this work.

They didn’t even bother removing the cup holders from the 3rd row, which it doesn’t have. How cheap. Mainly disappointed because Mazda does provide the CX-60 in other parts of the world. That model is a legitimate 2 row that’s distinctly different then the CX-90.

    In another video a representative did say the CX-70 and CX-90 have the same wheelbase. Even if its shorter or longer than the cx-90, it would be no more or less than an 2 inches. That is because any change in dimensions is due to the front and rear fascia. Not the platform itself.
    I thought it was pretty obvious from the beginning the car looks IDENTICAL except for all the blacked out trim. Overall a disappointment unless the car gives a discount greater than 3K versus the CX-90. Otherwise you may as well spend the little more for the cx-90 and just black out the chrome after market. Doesn't make any sense to buy a 200in+ crossover and only have 2 rows haha.

It is definitely intuitive and allows me to see the changes just fine. The only drawback is for the dialing.. that is presented in a sort of rotary mode so you have to scroll through. This then highlights the benefit of Android auto where I can speak out the numbers... or dial using the phone. So I can see both. Sides a bit. However I have to say the rotary is not a problem.

    Interior colors maroon on black, home run. That looks stunning. First hybrid I've seen with a spare tire, a must have on American roads. I wish the CX-50 could lose the body plastic. It looks awful. Way too much. At least offer a matched color. I like that CX-90/70 has full body paint panels.

      I hope not. The 50 is FWD architecture, so will likely get the Toyota FWD hybrid synergy drive. I doubt we'll see a PHEV 50 - Toyota can barely make enough PHEVs for their own customers let alone diluting the supply of batteries by giving some to Mazda. IMHO.

      I think most of the commenters did not understand my POV. Mazda's are as big as the competitors in size. The problem is the use of the space. Even if the car looks big from outside the usability of that space is not great.
      Mazda states bigger rear leg room number than Rav4, in reality the rear leg room of a rav 4 and cx5 is not even close. In reality rav4 feels and is much more spacious.
      You can argue that rav4 is longer but come on how long is it really, definitely not long enough to justify a vast space difference. Look at this cx70. They used a body of cx90 to create a two row suv.

      It's literally a CX-90 without a third row. You're absolutely in the minority here. Why wouldn't you just buy a CX-90 and keep the third row folded? You would accomplish the same thing while also having the ability to use the third row if need be. The rest of us only want to drive a boat of a vehicle if we have a need for a third row. Which is what should make a vehicle this big. If there's no third row. The size is pointless. I've been waiting years for this thing and my disappointment is bordering on anger.

    I love that there are many introducing midsized 5-passenger SUVs (especially after hearing Ford and GM are axing the Edge and Blazer respectively). These cars are perfect for my family of 3 adults and one child as I don’t need an excessively large 3-row SUV but want more breathing room than a compact SUV. That being said though, I am a bit disappointed with this. I don’t mind the use of the same platform, but like the Honda Passport and Jeep Grand Cherokee, I wish they would make an attempt to differentiate the styling of the 3-row and 2-row variants. The Passport and GC atleast have some minor styling differences. And the Cadillac XT5 and XT6 still have many visual differences even though they are essentially the same vehicles but different wheelbases. But here the CX-70 and CX-90 look identical except for maybe the interior color. Why even give it a different model name at that point? Call one CX-90 and the other CX-90L.

    I think cx70 might be a tad more successful than cx90. And that’s because of driving dynamics. A three row large car with sporty dynamics makes a lot less sense because that sportiness is not very comfortable for those in third row. This is Mazda we are talking about - they are small and probably don’t have that much R&D budget. I think they took an extra year to possibly fine tune their mild-hybrid in-line 6 configuration. Love them or hate them, for a relatively small company they are trying something different.

    This is gonna be an issue cuz the pricing will be almost similar for this vs. 90. If they didn’t had Cx50 and make cx70 smaller. The pricing would’ve been justified as it would make sense to have it start around 38k CAD for a base model since the base cx90 in Canada starts around 46-47k
