The 2025 Mazda CX-70 Turbo S Is A Sporty Upscale 2-Row SUV With BMW Vibes

[@edschobs5204]

I bought a CX-50 in February. Nothing about the car disappoints me. Maybe I’m just too basic but the interior on my Cx-50 and this CX-70 just feel borderline luxury. Maybe because I traded my 2017 Toyota RAV4 LE AWD. It was basic as basic gets!

[@2004cyrus]

I’ve been shopping CX-5 and CX-50, have a 2021 CX-5 currently. It feels a bit quieter and more refined to me than the CX-50 but the CX-50 is more brawny and I like the front of it.

Its missing the finer details like 4 way lumbar extending thigh cushions, stitched dash top, active suspension, vent placement, updated ui for infotainment, improved plastics and trim.

[@jeffs6090]

I still say Mazda screwed this up royally. This was supposed to be a slightly wider CX-60. That would have been perfect. This is way too big. Plus, no other company changes the name of the vehicle when the only difference is a third row delete (a few minor design details mean nothing). The GV80 can be 2 row only or come with a third row, it's called GV80 both ways.

[@CRP3252]

So you think that they arbitrarily decide what region is getting what or they're driven by what their market research shows? If their research showed that the CX-60 would have done well in North America or whatever region you're in, why in the hell would they be like "nah, CX-70"?🙄

[@2004cyrus]

Who wants a crappy Hyundai from Korea. All glitz and no reliability. I like this big ass 2 row. And Volkswagen did what you said nobody else does. It’s called the Atlas or the Atlas Cross Sport. A 2 row and 3 row. When you create a billion dollar car company and do better than Mazda, let us know so we can call out all of your screw-ups whether they are legit or just trolling you. Sounds like you can’t afford these upper middle class offering. Stick with your Chevy Cruze.

I like the front end, color options, especially the color matched moldings... but the rear is really bulky and unnatural looking. Its also longer than a Pathfinder... its just too long. I hope they bring a similar front end and interior design to a smaller CX5 refresh in the future along with these updated power train options.
