Typical rivals include the Honda Passport, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Toyota Highlander. The CX-70 comes with 280- and 340-hp 3.3-liter gas inline 6-cylinder engines and a 323-hp naturally aspirated 2.5-liter 4-cylinder plug-in hybrid, which offers up to 32 miles of all-electric driving. An 8-speed automatic transmission linked to Mazda's i-Activ AWD system is common to all, and towing capacity peaks at 5,000 pounds on gas models.2025-2026 Mazda CX-70 in Jet Black MicaMazdaWhat's New for 2027No changes are expected for the 2027 CX-70 except for a small price increase across the board.ExteriorThe CX-70 looks exactly like its CX-90 from the outside, with the same long hood, cab-rearward design, 201.6-inch length, and gracefully sculpted flanks. The gas models all run on 21-inch wheels and the hybrids on 19s, but all trims share features like LED headlights, a power moonroof, roof rails, and a gloss-black honeycomb grille. A power liftgate is standard, but it's hands-free on the top trims.2026 Mazda CX-70 Turbo S in Zircon SandJoe SantosView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleInteriorThe CX-70's cabin is notable for its near-luxury materials and craftsmanship, especially in the top trims that benefit from quilted Nappa leather, a suede dashboard finish, Bose audio, and a panoramic sunroof. The second row is roomy, and the trunk is large at nearly 40 cu-ft, expanding to 75.3 cu-ft with the second row folded. Heated and ventilated power front seats, leather upholstery, heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control, and a heated steering wheel are standard. PHEV models come with leatherette.AdvertisementAdvertisementTech features include a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster on all but the base trim, a 12.3-inch infotainment display with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a wireless charging pad, and 8-speaker audio.

It makes the most sense as a base Turbo Preferred, which already has all of the most important features. The PHEV makes sense if you use the daily electric range and always charge at home, else you're better off with the gas model.2025-2026 Mazda CX-70 in Melting Copper MetallicMazdaCompetitorsJeep Grand CherokeeHonda PassportVW Atlas Cross SportToyota HighlanderAdvertisementAdvertisementThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Sep 1, 2026, where it first appeared in the Cars section.
