CX-70 Enters the Segment with Generous Cargo Space, Sporty Design and Mazda’s Signature Driving Dynamics.

Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) today announced pricing and packaging for the all-new 2025 CX-70. This mid-size two-row crossover SUV, with select models starting to go on sale this spring, features sporty design elements, a captivating interior, generous cargo space, and exhilarating electrified powertrains. Designed for the needs of an active and engaged customer base, CX-70 will offer seven different packages to best fit their specific needs.

2025 Mazda CX-70

Available with three electrified powertrain options, CX-70 utilizes two variants of the e-Skyactiv G 3.3L Inline 6 Turbo with 48-volt M-Hybrid Boost, and an e-Skyactiv PHEV. All three choices are paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission, and standard i-Activ all-wheel drive (AWD). Supporting these powertrains is Mazda Intelligent Drive Select, or Mi-Drive, with Sport, Off-Road and available Towing or EV modes, depending on the model. Kinematic Posture Control (KPC) technology, which suppresses body lift on tight corners to enhance stability and help all occupants to maintain a natural posture, is also standard on all CX-70 models.

The CX-70 customer sees their vehicle as a catalyst towards engaging with their hobbies and passions. Keeping this in mind, Mazda has developed several key features for CX-70 that improve utility, connectivity, and overall occupant comfort. This includes new remote-folding rear seats, which allow for easier loading into the rear of the vehicle, as well as a rear cargo area that has been optimized for storage with additional compartments, hooks for bags and other equipment, and a unique sub-trunk design that allows CX-70 owners to stow valuables and other small items out of sight.

Also aiding the driver is the integration of Alexa Built-in, which is standard on all CX-70 models.
