- 2025 Mazda CX-70 review by The Straight Pipes. The CX-70 is probably(It has the same powertrain as the CX90 but no one confirmed the numbers) putting down 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque from a 2.5L phev 4 cylinder and 340 horsepower 369 lb-ft torque from a mild hybrid 3.3L Turbo Inline 6 cylinder (319 hp on regular). We don't have the price yet but would you take it over a CX-90?

Hey, my G-String wasn’t photoshopped 👀
Ayy I found your personal channel!! Subbed!!
Lmao u was really wearing one
Lol that was amazing
Look so nice😋
Never doubted it
I know the rumors had confirmed this ages ago, but its such a huge miss to have made this the same size as the CX-90. This would have sold like crazy if they fit it between the 90 and the 50. As is, its just a huge boat of a 2 row SUV.
In italy they sell the cx60
That’s perfect some people don’t need that 3rd row like myself. Which is why I never even considered the 90.
@@BraveChicken Same here. You only drive a vehicle this big if you need a third row. There's absolutely no reason to by driving around a boat sized vehicle with no third row. If I wanted a vehicle this big with 2 rows...I'd buy a CX-90 and...fold the third row seat down.
Completely right!
I drive a X5 F15 which is 9 years old right now.
My first impression about the ^ is the pretty damn proper and tight design. The balance and proportions and contour are on point!
To be fair, the cx90 was already pretty small for the three-row class
Others said it, but they could have given the CX-90 an option without the third row. Why release a new name model almost identical to the CX-90 doesn't make much sense to me. It's still a great car though!
Honda did a similar thing with the Pilot/Passport arrangement the last generation. It worked out really well for them, maybe they are shooting for a similar strategy.
@KillaninjaFC same with the Toyota Highlander/Grand Highlander
@@KillaninjaFCno Honda did it much differently and much better. The passport and pilot are completely different cars
@@generallyfinefx the grand highlander is significantly bigger than the normal highlander especially in the 3rd row, also both models come with 3 rows and have different exteriors, interiors, powertrains etc.
@@KillaninjaFC Honda did similar with the same wheelbase but it not the same vehicle. Honda not only removed the 3rd row, they reduced the Passport’s length by 7+ inches.
Toyota: The Grand Highlander and the Highlander doesn’t even share the same wheelbase nor length despite being on the same platform. Not the same vehicle.
Mazda? I can’t tell. It looks like removed the 3rd row seat and went td-da!! All-new CX-70. 😂
I was riding in a friend's CX-90 last week. The third row was folded down. I didn't realize at the time he actually owned a CX-70 too. Maybe Mazda could provide two sets of badges with the CX-90?
He owned the unreleased CX-70 wow! He’s lucky
@jasonkolker9444 you completely missed what he meant.
@@tangojulietfoxtrot Sarcasm is often lost on the immediate responders.
Took me a minute to get it 💀
@@therealstorey my comment was sarcastic back at him how do Yall not get that 💀
Don’t understand why they didn’t just bring the cx60 instead! Looks so good anyway .
Exactly
The CX-50 is a similar size, I think that's the reason.
@@quixomegasize wise similar,but the CX60 has different suspension and powertrains in Europe, much more desirable
After selling Mazdas for 2 years I am both not surprised and disappointed this is just a 2-row CX-90.
They have the perfect platform to provide a real value proposition in the luxury/premium CUV space and they do this.
I also don't understand the lack of investment in like the wagon space. A4 and A6 all-roads, E wagons, V60 and V90 and their cross country versions, and the Outback all are basically impossible to have in stock(Subaru probably the easiest).
Mazda's strategy as small company to lean into a more focused luxury/premium market placed them in such a unique niche in between economy and luxury brands and brought them so much attention especially during the pandemic when they fell square in the middle for value. They have a real opportunity with this platform to continue to take business from both sides with actually interesting vehicles. This could've been a killer X5 competitor and now it just feels like their lineup is bloated with cookie cutter cars
Well said.
And that begs the question....what was the point? All someone has to do is put down their third row seat. What was Mazda thinking?
@@s.patterson5698 I'm positive it has everything to do with playing it safe since they are a much smaller company. Even on the most expensive CX-90 the invoice to MSRP difference is less than $2000 which means they really have to make every unit count for them. I spoke with the team that came with the CX-90 since they did the media debut in San Francisco where I was selling them. One guy was a product engineer on the project and I asked if anything cool would be coming on this platform like a wagon or sedan maybe and he told me "I wish, the market builds cars not us"
Yes. But I think they didn't have the money to differentiate too much. If these sell ok to well the second generation of both vehicles are likely to be much more differentiated
@@differencemaker242 they don't. Even on a fully loaded CX-90 the invoice to MSRP difference is less than $2000. They build these very close to cost so they definitely have to make each unit matter. However, if it's supposed to compete in the segment below the 200 inch 3 rows (regular highlander, X5, XC-60 etc) the CX-70 is too big. They already make the perfect sized competition in the CX-60 overseas on the same platform. Which is modular btw for this exact reason, to adapt it to different size and powertrains.
"I don't see ANY piano black..." Mazda just keeps getting it RIGHT.
If only Mazda would retroactively do this for all the other models right now that all have tons of piano black in the interior
Except for when they made two of the same car
@@ri0t263 True, although time will tell if the market wants a two-row version. It may! My point was more that, just like keeping the navigation wheel when most are going to touch screen, Mazda is willing to forgo popular for better. (Of course, there NEVER should have been ANY piano black in a Mazda, or any other car!)
@@LV4EVR I do love the wheel in my cx5 I just get salty when we don't get cool stuff in North America like the cx 60
Yeah but I also don't see the amazing wood trim that my wife's CX90 she used to have about 4 years ago had. Yeah it came with piano black and it got scratched to hell from just normal use but it was a lease. The wood trim around the console and dash was excellent though.
So I waited months just for Fulton Reed to tell me the CX-90 has deleted the 3rd row. Cool
Lol
AND THE CROWD GOES MILD!
That all black exterior with the red seats looks so good. Let's hope the two new colors aren't just different shades of gray.
Oh, and the A/C button layout is well done. Not messy and physical buttons.
The black on black with the red interior is beautiful.
Nice editing with the G-string! Love it!
holy shit the g string edit was amazing XD
“Edit” yes 👀
5:09 for those curious lol
I completely missed that one😂
🤮🤮🤮I saw that. I made the mistake of doing a double take 🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀. I’m sending this from my grave.
Great overview! Can't wait for when they call the CX-90 with a second row bench the CX-85.
Glad I stayed till the end, good stuff.
Loved the starting filming location!
My expectation was that CX-70 would position itself between CX-5 and CX-90 in terms of size with the price range also falling in between. But if it's almost identical to the CX-90 with a similar price then I'd rather buy CX-90 and have the third low folded down. At least I have the third low option when I need it every now and then. Mazda should just market it as a CX-90 variant like CX-90-C or something. C for cargo.
Waiting on the inline 6 mazda 6 . For 2025 model hopefully. Thenk u straight pipe guys . Yall r the best, keep us updated on the DRIVE TEST ! ZOOM ZOOM
These look really good! I like that it's a little more boxy and aggressive compared to Mazda suvs from a few years ago. Their interiors are always nice and the drive is usually more to my liking too. I'm not a new buyer, but will definitely consider used as my future winter vehicle.
I could see myself behind the wheel of a 2025 Mazda CX-70 GS (base model with 280 hp inline 6). Naturally, I'll wait and see the pricing and incentives. Keep the good work. 🙂
Darn, I missed u guys in nyc. I work across the street from Mazda revel. im a BIG fan from day 1.
Huge miss. They needed their X5 sized CUV. instead this is their X7 with a 3rd row delete.
yea, and I hope they dont give up that CX5 size, people in big cities need an easily parkable Mazda!
The CX-5 is 0.5” shorter than the mazda3. So if you can park a 3, you can park the 5.
CX70/90 is midsize like X5, X7 is fullsize, which the Mazdas is not
This is actually X5 size, X7 is noticably larger.
yeah dont let the name “90/70” fooled you
Very disappointing considering how nice the CX60 is in different regions. I was hopping for an altered CX60 as the midsized SUV rather than cx90 with the third row removed.
The back of cx60 looks sexier than this cx70 and feels more sporty
You Americans are getting cx50 its about the same size as cx60. Meantime, we in Europe wont have xc50 although its cool
@@19ThreeLions97 CX-50 is based on CX-30/Mazda 3 platform, it doesn’t have independent rear suspension, nobody buying it in the states anyways.
@@nosranroyeah, nobody is buying it because it costs more than a cx5.
CX60 had big trouble Japan, the sales dropped like jumpwater...
Such underrated design. That midnight package looks 🔥 please bring it to the cx-90
You guys are the best ❤.. Love Mazda always for the reason : reliability, luxurious, incredible built quality, fun to drive and affordable and built in Japan ❤
it should've been CX60 proportions, maybe a little bit bigger and make it a coupe version. is already luxury/premium.
I’m 100% positive Americans just wanted a cx60 with the engines from the cx90
We needed the cx60!!!
I love my Mazda 3 but these new models are so expensive that I'm looking at Lexus as competition, and I'm wondering if other Mazda owners feel similarly. The price point and value was a major selling point as an affordable fun to drive car but these models are really pricey and don't maintain the same value over time as a Toyota or Lexus.
Nailed it.
"Is it taking up any space in the cargo thing?" Thank you Yuri, good call.
Nice! Definitely on the short list for the next family hauler...
It’s just a good looking vehicle. Mazda rocks. Interior materials look excellent. Inline 6 is fantastic. Love your review guys
The cx50 has 4 bag holders. They are also used in some cargo net configs!
This is a great video. Very thorough comparison. Please do a similar one for the Grand Highlander vs TX. My wife is trying to decide between the four.
TX is way better than the grand highlander and worth the price difference
It seems like many are disappointed with this introduction. I love everything about the CX-70. No need for the 3rd row and I wanted a bigger vehicle than my CX-5. Great review, can you specify the towing capacity of the MHEV and PHEV? That wasn't clear in the video. Thanks.
Nice preview gents
Yellow looks sharp
the fact that only the top-trim Turbo S models have lane tracing is such a huge oversight on Mazda's part. even if they are a "driver's" brand, 1. this is a boat of an SUV and doesn't handle all that better than anything else in the segment, and 2. lane tracing/centering is still a feature that all of its competitors have standard, and many vehicles that cost tends of thousands of dollars less also have standard
All the people crying about this seem to not get that the CX-90 is already on the small side for a real full time 3-row. That 3rd row is more for short trip emergencies, not full time 3-row use. In which case offering a 2 row that loses the extra weight of the 3rd row and 3rd row safety features, but gains a flat loading floor with a ton of extra storage is a great option for many families. Could they have just offered this as a separate trim for the CX-90, sure, probably. But I don't care what the badge says, I care what the overall design is. And a Turbo inline-6, with a double wishbone front, no CVT, with a real transmission, a rear biased AWD powertrain layout with a ton of space, and great driving dynamics is a very unique offering at their price point.
this car doesnt make sense because its literally the exact same as a cx90 without the 3rd row and $2000 cheaper. mazda wouldve saved money if they just made a 2 row cx90 instead of launching a new model which is the same as the cx90 but with separate r&d costs, management team etc. and negligible differences from the cx90 other than the missing 3rd row. nobody will buy this when the cx90 has much more utility for $2000 more and a nicer badge, with the 3rd row down youre basically getting the same experience as the cx70. by making the cx70 a different model from the cx90 mazdas just going to spend more on running costs and confuse customers.
@@smar1208 How much could R&D cost if it's basically a CX90 with 3rd row removed and different badging?
@@theo21021 more than if they had just removed the 3rd row from the cx90 and made it optional. now theres an entirely different model with a seperate vin, badging, trim lines etc. yet its still largely the exact same as the cx90.
So Mazda just uses a big foam tray to replace the 3rd row seats?
Massive cargo space. Probably a great fit for the majority of people currently buying MDX's who should really getting RDX's because they don't use the third row. An RDX sized competitor with the CX-90 powertrains would have just made more sense tho
Let's just call it a CX-90 5 passengers, which i prefer. The 3 rows is small compared to competition. If pricing is around 2k less, I'd get the base model for car glamping.
very very cool guys as a Mazda fan im looking forward to seeing it in person
It’s amazing how you two can pull off a good review on a vehicle that’s just a demo and just sitting there haha congrats 👏
I’m actually happy with this car. I almost bought the cx50 but it was too rugged looking and a 3rd row seat on the 90 was unnecessary for me. Can’t wait for this to release.
You can just fold down the 3rd row seats?
@@Fadic4exactly but you get only captain chair if you go higher trim😢😢😢
@@studio4life1 That just seems like a problem that Mazda created so they can sell a solution lol.
Hey guys big time fan here, just wanted to ask if you guys can include mpg/Empg under your HP and torq #s would be awesome also all in that trunck space a square tired better be optional
Looks really nice in black, looking forward to seeing in person.
I used to have a Mazda CX-7 some years ago. I liked it a lot. This is pretty much the spiritual successor to that vehicle. Back then though it was only CX-7 and CX-9. CX-9 was the 3 row variant.
Mazda CX-7 ? I never knew Mazda has that on their SUV line up before. All I know are CX-3, CX-4 (China region only), CX-5, CX-8 (Japan and some Asia region only) and CX-9 for sure.
After they launched the top of the line new CX-90, probably they gonna make an ultra luxury which is CX-100 next. Who knows.....
@@henrichandrew yep the CX-7 was in production from 2006-2012. I had a 2009 Grand Touring Model with torque-split AWD. It had the same turbo 2.3 LTR engine from the Mazda speed 3. The early CX-7 with the turbo had a few issues. The had recalls on the AC compressor seizing up. Also there were known issues with the turbos in these SUVs. I blew 2 turbos in 1.5 years they replaced them without issue under warranty. Then a year later after the second turbo. My engine trew a rod through the crankcase in front of my job. There was a whole in the engine block. Mazda replaced it with a brand new engine out of warranty. I only paid $400 in labor cost and they paid the rest of the $6800 bill. I called corporate to make that happen.
@@bobcat18us that was a unforgettable experience. Anyway I come to remember the Mazda CX-7. I was wrong, the CX-7 was also launched in my country. The first family member of Mazda CX line up. Back then, the CX-7 was a very good design and attractive looking, I suppose it also still seen as that now days. The first Mazda SUV with Turbocharger engine, but the issue was the fuel consumption. In my country, the CX-7 also know as Mazda RX-8 SUV version, since both their design very similar. This Mazda CX-7 quite successful, so Mazda made his big brother CX-9 and powered with 3.7 L V6 engine. The most successful historical milestone of CX series after they lauched CX-5 with Skyactiv first generation engine. This's how the Mazda CX series story began. And now Mazda's evolving and becoming luxurious car maker Brand with their new generation of CX series.
2 row version of CX--90?! Lame - not all of us want a huge vehicle - very dissapointed.
yeah i was hoping it wouldve been bigger then the 5 but smaller then the 90, whats the point, might as well buy a 90 then.
@@NickleForYourThoughts Yeah. I guess it will be cheaper? But if you dont need a car that big, then youd just look elsewhere.
@@awepossum1059 that or get a 50. i want to know what their market was here, to camping? camping was the 50, i dont understand what their target audience was with the 70
@@NickleForYourThoughts The target audience was for a smaller 2 row, 340HP 3.3 Inline 6. Not the downscale, 240HP CX-50.. We wanted the CX60 Power & Size at a decent price. Not this Mom boat!
It’s not that big tbh. It’s on the small side for a 3row cuv so it’s perfect as a 2row with extra space underneath
What a huge mess, glad I got my CX-5 last week as it seemed to be just the right size. I was thinking of holding out to see if the cx70 would be a true mid-size like a Nissan murano, Honda passport, Subaru outback, Toyota venza, which Mazda was lacking in it's lineup. The fact that all of the above competitors aren't the same size as their three-row crossover equivalent is very telling, as there's a need for a proper mid-size as well as a proper three-row crossover that's larger. I'm not sure why Mazda didn't do the same, so that the second row in a mid-size could be just as roomy as the first and comparable to the competition in its class. The idea is not to have a boat to drive around with your two row mid-size crossover when it comes to parking, even if it does handle better than the competition. Totally happy I got my cx-5, and it was partially on listening to Yuri's justification for it when he got it for his family.
this is very true, now nearly every competing brand has a relatively well-selling proper two row midsize crossover (passport, venza, murano, edge, outback, santa fe, sorento, blazer, atlas cross sport, grand cherokee) meanwhile mazda has one big crossover with 3 rows and another big crossover with 2 rows.
@@smar1208 and I don't understand why they didn't just make the cx90 have an optional third row delete or have the third row fold into the floor on hinges just like the Honda pilot can do. And then they can just import the cx60, which is a mid-sized 2 row crossover similar to the cx90 but smaller. Maybe they still will.
Pretty wild that I went to the city on Sunday for the first time in a long time and saw that same sculpture in that one particular part of Manhattan that they went to. I never knew it was there or anything about it until 2 days ago. I didn't like it though lol
I was so hoping that the sheet metal was going to be a bit more defined after the C pillar. The reason there isn't a CX90 sitting in my driveway now is because of the VERY rounded backend.
Same. I was really hoping for a sportier, beefier look. That rounded, curving window is not cool
What about an aftermarket spoiler? Doesn't have to be anything crazy.
Looks like a melting x7. Cx-60 would make me consider moving up from a cx5
Just import a CX60 then
Damn, that vehicle is beautiful 🔥🔥
I see LOTS OF CX70 vs. CX90 comparison videos coming in few months. I’m curious how different will it drive from cx90. This could also be a chance where Mazda can give CX90 a soft suspension and more comfort and give athleticism to the CX70 to set them apart from each other in some ways.
One is a fun family hauler and other is a fun sporty version with more personality and fun colours.
CX-90 (powertrain+chassis+infotainment+potential issues seen on 90) + CX-50 (Bumper) + New wheels - Third row (But leave the 3rd row cup holder) = ALL NEW CX-70.
The cupholders are still there?💀
@@DrD21486Yeah, simply reused whatever they can from CX-90
I was expecting something different especially after the big debut delay, unless there is a big price difference I don't get it.
im in love with this car! its gorgeous!
So many people miss the point!!! This is a great suv! It has the size and presence of a the current X5 and GLE without the huge price!! That comes with a fully loaded base engine x5 and GLE, I’m looking forward to the cx70 love the updated front and rear bumpers! And inline 6! It’s the size of the v90 in length!! It’s the size of a large wagon but with suv proportions! Way to go Mazda! Just wish yall made the infotainment native touch screen
That looks nice. ❤
I've never really been a big fan of Mazda designs, but from a styling perspective, this is absolutely gorgeous both inside and out. Bravo Mazda!
I would love it if more reviews would let the buyer know about the ambient lighting inside. More and more cars are coming out with these lighting but not much is talked about.
After waiting for several months and delays, they just removed the third row, but oddly, they still remained cup holders in the trunk… I prefer to call it the 2-row CX90 rather than wasting new model name.
Really wish this was actually shorter than the cx90. was very excited for this as a personal car but this is just disappointing as its just a 2 row version of their 3 row with extremely minimal changes.
Do you know if the PHEV will get lane centring? (only available in MHEV on CX90)
Lmao I was about to say “wow looks just like the CX-90”
I hope theres a range benefit for the PHEV since theres no 3rd row. Maybe even just a slight weight benefit if theres no bigger battery.
What Americans expected: The CX-60 with American flavour
What they got: The 5-seats CX-90
Did they change the rear end trunk? It doesn't look as big a lump as the CX-90?
It's a fantastic edition to Mazda's line up! I hope they don't give up that CX5 size, people in big cities need an easily parkable Mazda! Just bring the hybrid version to version CX5!
Mazda is the most underrated reliable vehicle
The CX-90 has like 5 different recalls right now...
@@Unchainedmaple888 And more issues flying in the forum lol
Every car has it's issues but being an auto technician in a shop i rarely see any models of Mazda in the shop. Now im not saying I haven't worked on them, they're just rare to see on the daily compared to most other vehicles
Their cars are making ultra rattles from interiors.
Mazda has been stepping up especially with the inline 6’s, but with this cx70 they could’ve at least made the second row larger since there are no 3rd rows, making it special in the line up.
If this means a significant pricecut vs the cx-90 im all for it!
5:29 Jacob showing the thong is something that can't be unseen. LOL
👀
Oh man! Jacob has an awesome garage. Even Tyler Hoover is jealous. I hope to see the I6 is a sports sedan.
My 2010 Mazda 3 hatch has flip to open grocery hooks. Ambient lighting, fog lights and more interior storage. Why is the 2024 Mazda CX's driving like my 2007 cx7 gt? with the same no selling black cherry paint?
Wow! Such awesome colours to choose from. Same comfort as BMW X range???
This SUV looks great 👍🏻 giving the other Japanese luxury brands a run for their money. More power & better steering than other Japanese luxury rivals at a lower base prices
What about the turn signal? When I test drove a CX 90 the turn signal made a funny sound! Did they change the turn signal sound?!
Stunning.
Beautiful looks.
Would have liked a non turbo 6 option for simplicity as it would produce more than enough power. Hate those big sunoofs and prefer a steel roof.
Thank god they got rid of the gloss black entirely. Just wish it was wide enough for sheet material. Would also be cool if they develop this into a truck similar to the Santa Cruz.
I have the CX-60 here in Japan. I love it, but it does have a couple small issues that I hope Mazda can get fixed. My biggest complaint is that the facial recognition is wonky. It will recognize me, and tell me welcome, but won't actually change to my profile. I was told that this is a known issue and they will be fixing it. It has been a few months now though.
AIs are dumb...or they pretend to be dumb until one they they start controlling us and there will be Skynet in Terminator they will eliminate us humans.
I really do love the ingenuity of car designers creating lots of storage space in the boot. What would be a really good Idea (that I hope catches on) is to make some of that storage for something other than toys.... Maybe a spare wheel? I heard they are better than tyre inflation kits because inflation kits cannot fix a split/tear in a tyre.
❤❤very nice one🎉🎉😊
But does it have Blinker cameras like the Telluride and Palisade?
There is actually a space below the storage that holds the space-saver spare.
Great design, sharp! Good job Mazda 👍
Need that inline 6 turbo in Mazdaspeed ND4 MX-5
I need them to bring the Metallic Blue paint back!
Should’ve just gave the cx90 an option for no third row duh mazda
I'd really like it if mazda brought back the brg to its colour palette, also from the old miata time.
You said those were top of the line models they were showing but the CX-70 doesn't have a full digital cluster?
Very impressive and neat car to drive
I hope they plan to integrate the hybrid system in with the straight 6.
I was hoping for a bit smaller!
this is absolutely beautiful
The color match looks so much better than the black trim. Makes it looks like a X7
What continental tires are recommended? Because I know anything other than the extremecontacts which I have on mazda3, are shit in the wet.
I’m happy it’s the same size as the cx 90
I just wish they would put a 2 speed transfer case with low range!
We have cx50 was hoping this was going to be sport version, a hair bigger than the cx-50 but not as big as the 90 :( was hoping for lighter and more power to put the zoom zoom back. Although very nice inside and I am sure a nice suv but will be looking at something else unless the performance is something special which I doubt it will be :(
