2025 MAZDA CX-70 REVIEW: PREMIUM, REFINED, POWERFUL, FUN TO DRIVE

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Mazda CX-70 is presented as a significantly improved offering in the midsize two-row SUV segment. The reviewer highlights its powerful 3.3L inline-6 turbo engine (340 HP/369 lb-ft on premium fuel) as a standout feature, offering responsive performance and a satisfying driving experience that rivals more premium brands. The interior receives high praise for its luxurious materials, comfortable Napa leather and Alcantara seats (heated and ventilated), and premium finishes, contributing to a quiet and refined cabin. Mazda's attention to customer feedback is evident, with notable improvements in suspension tuning for better comfort and handling, a smoother 8-speed automatic transmission, and more natural-feeling brakes compared to earlier models. The reviewer considers the CX-70 a "gem" and potentially the best in its class, especially for those prioritizing driving dynamics, premium feel, and practicality over a third row. The only minor drawback mentioned is a slight refinement needed for the auto start/stop system.
