This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new 2025 Mazda CX-70 5-passenger SUV. The 2025 Mazda CX-70 gas model has a 3.3L inline-6 turbo with a 48V mild hybrid system and an 8-speed automatic transmission. There are two variations, the standard model has 280 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque and the high output 3.3L turbo gets 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Standard rear-biased AWD. Premium fuel is recommended for the high output powertrain.
The 2025 Mazda CX-70 plug-in hybrid has a 2.5L 4-cylinder with an 8-speed automatic transmission, a combined 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Premium fuel is recommended.
This 2025 Mazda CX-70 PHEV gets a 68 kW electric motor and 17.8 kWh battery with 42 km/26 miles of range. Premium fuel is recommended. With a full tank of gas and a full charge, you get about 789 km/490 miles of range.
2025 Mazda CX-70 fuel economy the standard output inline-6 gets 9.9L/100 km, 24 MPG city and
8.4L/100 km, 28 MPG highway. The High output 10.3L/100 km, 23 MPG city and
8.5L/100 km, 28 MPG highway. The PHEV gets a combined 4.2Le/100 km, 56 MPGe
With a Level 1 charger, it takes just over 6.5 hours to charge the CX-70 plug-in hybrid from 20%-80% and with a Level 2 charger 1.5 hours.
The 2025 Mazda CX-70 inline 6 can tow 5,000 pounds and the plug-in hybrid 3500 pounds.
Here’s the MSRP in Canada, the 2025 Mazda CX-70 GS-L $49,750 CAD, GT $54,350 CAD, GT-P $58,300 CAD and Signature $62,300 CAD. PHEV GS-L $58,750 CAD, GT $63,350 CAD

PHEV Premium $54,400 USD and Premium Plus $57,450 USD.
We are driving the top trim 2025 Mazda CX-70 PHEV, with a garnet red Nappa leather interior. This colour combo with Melting Copper and the red is not available in Canada, only in the US. However, the garnet red is available but you have to choose a different exterior colour.
The Melting Cooper gets a black interior.
The 2025 Mazda CX-70 plug-in hybrid has a 2.5L 4-cylinder with an 8-speed automatic transmission, a combined 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Premium fuel is recommended.
It has a 68 kW electric motor and 17.8 kWh battery with 42 km/26 miles of range. With a full tank of gas and a full charge, you get about 789 km/490 miles of range.
This 2025 Mazda CX-70 will go up against the Lexus RX PHEV and the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe, it’s priced extremely well compared to those two models feature to feature. Throw in the BMW X5 plug-in hybrid as an aspirational vehicle and it will be a lot more money.

Don't disagree entirely but elephant in the room question...fold the 3rd row down like most will do on the essentially otherwise identical 90?... and still have the versatility of occasional extra accommodation for a slight weight penalty. Empty nesters ourselves but still enjoy the flexibility. Has anyone actually said more cargo room on the 70?

I have a vehicle that came without the optional third row, you get a lot of underfloor storage without those seats there.

@@springertube That only works in Canada if you buy the lower trims of the CX-90. If you want all the extra features like the dual 12.3" screens you have to move to the higher trims and they have captain's chairs. If you fold down the third row, you have a 4-passenger vehicle, that doesn't work for many.

@paulh6517 is it really though? The 3 row competition from Japan and Korea have more amenities. You will find that Mazda likes to wow you with certain touches, in this case the fabric lining the dash face. But they don't have luxury touches like 4 way lumbar, extending thigh cushions, premium headliner, roof or door mounted vents, multiple ways to access the infotainment etc which are hallmarks of a luxury crossover and are available in competing mainstream crossovers that offer more space and are shorter by up to a foot.

The Mazda CX-90, which is the CX-70, has some of the most uncomfortable seats (they're too short/narrow/feel like cardboard); hollow chintzy interior plastics that belong in a late 00's early 10s GM product; and have very gruff/unrefined powertrains.

@ztekz Ай бұрын

A few months ago was shopping for a smaller CUV after owning a CX9 for 7+ yrs. The CX-5 didn’t have a hybrid and the cargo capacity of that is in the smaller side. Looked at this CX-70 and PHEV is out of my price range while the base GS-L is near $50K. Found this to still be too big for a 2-row just like my CX9. Ended up going with a CRV Hybrid as that still kept the cargo capacity similar to this and my prev CX9 but with much better FE and easier to park as smaller than CX-70 or CX9!

If I recall correctly when Mazda announced the large platform series (CX60/70/80/90) it was envisioned that the CX60 and CX70 would be two rows, and the CX80 and CX90 would be three rows. The difference would be that the CX70 and CX90 would be wider versions of the CX60 and CX80 respectively. It appears that Mazda, for whatever reasons, strayed from that concept (perhaps to share more tooling between the CX70 and CX90). The question now is what, if anything, will Mazda offer in size between the CX5/CX50 and the CX70/90? Perhaps a North American version of the CX60 (maybe to replace the CX5)?

I’m disagreeing with the other commenters, but I just don’t see the existence of this being justified. It costs more than the CX-90, is the same size as the CX-90, performs the same as the CX-90, but lacks the 3rd row. There’s no maneuvering advantage, there’s no efficiency advantage, there isn’t even a real storage advantage with the CX-90’s third row folded flat. This car is still baffling. No doubt it’s a great car, but given the option, I’m choosing a CX-90.

@scooter5940 24 күн бұрын

It probably offers a bit more space as the seats, even folded, take up room. But I agree with you. This is a cx90 without a third row option, so…….offer that. All they did was save hundreds of millions of dollars in development cost by not making a slightly smaller, faster, better handling two-row model. This is a nice car, but a real cheap-out on Mazda’s part.

@kellingtonlink956 Ай бұрын

I’m impressed. If I were looking for a non-3rd row mid-to-higher end proper sized SUV… you be crazy not to consider it. It certainly is more interesting than anything similar from Toyota and Honda (Highlander/Pilot). And by a far margin… the interior looks amazing. And the $50 plus price tag is… for lack of a better word… fair. Thanks for the video.

Not having a 40/20/40 2nd row option is a shame. Currently drive CX-9, rarely use 3rd row, but a few times a month I do squeeze a third passenger between two car seats. Middle fold allows long items (Home depot, skies and etc). Very happy with my CX-9, but in the future will look at MDX or Pilot.

Get a minivan if you have to haul more than 5 people. This is an ideal cargo carrier and good for camping, trips to the hardware store and other times when you need space. Nice to see Mazda adding hybrid options. I've had 3 Mazda that I really liked, but they had manual transmissions. When you switch to a hybrid bye bye manuals. These 8 and 10 speed transmissions now in use seem unnecessary. Six seems like plenty, less complicated and less hunting for the right gear.

To disable the start/stop feature requires multiple steps which is a pain when doing errands that involve several stops in the same day.

Seems I will be looking elsewhere for my next car.

My 2012 Mazda cx9 had a catastrophic engine failure in 2019 with 100k miles. No warning, the engine block cracked by the timing belt and the antifreeze went into the engine. I had to basically dump my top of the line well taken care car because a new engine will cost about 10k at the time. After searching through the internet years later I learned about a class action law suit by people with very similar problem even with newer CX9s ,cx5 and cx7s . They claim Mazda was aware of the issue with the engine but refused to recognize their defect. I had several other recalls with other parts that were addressed by recalls but the engine failure still up in the air. My question is if they coverup the issues for so many years how can we trust Mazda going forward with their new unproven engines?. I rather take my chances with Toyota that halts production and sale of the Tundra and Lexus over engine trouble than Mazda who plays a filthy game with customers.

They renamed it the 70 due to how people search for cars online. It would have been too confusing to have a 90 with both options. The CX-60 will come to US as the new CX-5. It will be larger which is most CX-5 owners complaints

I like the vehicle, but I'll take the Passport over it any day. The 4Runner is a better option, unless you are looking for a more luxurious vehicle. Nice review as always guys.

The 2024 Passport doesn't compare in styling looks, luxury-refinement or tech level of this new vehicle. I'm waiting for the 2025 Passport redesign and hoping Honda improve these issues.

I owned a passport and it's total junk compared to this refined CX70. I just drove it for a good 30mins on highway/town tour. Absolutely incredible vehicle in many levels! There's a reason Car&Driver rates CC70/CX90 #3 out of all midsized SUV'S.

@4:42 How does larger wheels affect the ride quality as opposed to smaller wheels. ?😮 I thought the tires size was more crucial.

@garys2157 Ай бұрын

Larger wheels have less sidewall, but usually more grip, so you will feel bumps more with larger low profile wheel/tire combinations.

@urbanguyill Ай бұрын

It's disappointing when car manufacturers market a vehicle with minimal changes, such as the absence of a third row and slight exterior tweaks, as an entirely new model instead of just a new trim. This approach feels like a cash grab, aimed at selling essentially the same car without offering substantial improvements or innovations.

Mazda should move the second row a little back to give more second row leg room. We need a spacious 2 row SUV. The cargo space now is a over-kill to me..

@lecaohaiduc Ай бұрын

I will never understand buying this instead of the identical CX-90. Just fold the rear seat if you want a 2-row, but you will always have 3 rows instead of 2. All other car company calls this a trim, not a different model.

@andreaspencer9813 Ай бұрын

It doesn't really work that well with the CX-90 especially in Canada unless you buy the lower trims. The higher trims with the extra features get captain's chairs. If you fold down the third row, you have a 4-passenger vehicle, that doesn't work for everyone so the CX-70 would be a better on the higher trims.

@constantinedimopoulos1110 Ай бұрын

Nice looking SUV. Especially the PHEV, but kind of odd that it would take Premium fuel, which offsets the appeal when you have to pay 10-13 cents a litre more in fuel. And for 58k, wired CarPlay is a miss. Regardless, cool looking vehicle compared to the competitors, especially nice interior.

It's unfortunate that the PHEV couldn't get above 50km of range so that in Canada it would qualifybfor the full EV rebates... Getting 10k off (including provincial rebates, depending on where you live) would make ot almost reasonably priced for what you get. Other similarly sized SUVs getting 10k off really makes this a tougher sell. Also, the charge times are VERY misleading. At 17.8kwh a standard 120V 12A charger (the max you cannlegally use on a 15A circuit), assuming that you always have at least 15% of the battery available to support hybrid mode means you need to get about 15kWh in to the battery, at 1500 watts or 1.5kw that's going to take 10 hours. Their spec sheet quotes the 6.5 hours at 15A (which requires a special 20A circuit) as going from 20 to 80 percent, but no one needs to know that in a PHEV and barely anyone will have existing 20A outdoor or garage plugs. It's better at 240V and 30A as they state 1.3 hours, but it's actually more like 2.1 (15 kwh divided by 7.2kw of power.) It's nice, and it might be worth a look, but the price is insanely high, needing premium gas, and comparison with other vehicles that get better rebates will make it hard to choose.
