2025 MAZDA CX-70: BRINGING NEW LEVELS OF LUXURY AND DYNAMICS TO THE SEGMENT?

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Mazda CX-70 is presented as a more luxurious and sportier alternative to the CX-90, primarily by removing the third row to enhance cargo capacity. The review highlights its striking exterior design, featuring Mazda's latest language with unique grille inserts and LED lighting. Inside, the CX-70 impresses with a premium cabin, offering an exclusive sporty red interior option, high-quality materials, and a standard 12.3-inch infotainment display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Key features include a panoramic sunroof and a Bose sound system on higher trims. While rear passenger space is comparable to the CX-90, the absence of captain's chairs and rear seat ventilation on any trim is noted. The plug-in hybrid powertrain delivers 323 horsepower with 26 miles of electric range, complemented by standard AWD and an 8-speed automatic transmission across all models. Pricing is identical to the CX-90 for equivalent trims, making the choice dependent on the need for a third row versus maximum cargo space. Mazda projects strong resale value, though reliability is rated at industry average.
