A GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT - 2025 Mazda CX-70 - Review

So... does anyone consider the CX-70 worth it with only a $1,000 price difference to the CX-90?

I’m confused about all the complaints it’s sportier CX90 with less seats. MOST people don’t even use the 3rd row! As far the cup holders not being deleted, Mazda is a small company saved millions not having to redesign a piece that most people won’t even notice. I pick up my Polymetal Gray CX70 in a couple weeks

How many different ways can you pretend to mistake CX 70 and say CX 90 ...horrible. The bottom line I wanted a two row with a bench seat and whether you call it a CX 90 or CX 70 I would have taken it exactly as they're presenting it here.

I got a Rhodium White CX-70 Turbo S two weeks ago. Loving it so far and nearly a thousand miles so far. Why'd I get it instead of a CX-90? You can't get a second row bench in any of the trims except the very lowest. My wife and I want... no... need the ventilated seats. On the CX-90, you can't get the ventilated seats in any trim except the very top. The Turbo S Premium, the second highest trim, has a bench and ventilated seats for 5 to 6 grand less than a top trim CX-90. And we don't need a three row. And the rear cubbies actually hold good deal of stuff. Boom. That's why, for me, the CX-70 is the way to go.

Maybe you should try something a little different. when the CX70 came out lot's tried the CX70 CX90 thing. The CX 70 is way more sporty and most don't need the 3rd row.

As someone who has a loved one who deals with epilepsy, the biggest advantage for this car over the 90 from my perspective is the safety feature in this car that senses a medical emergency, stops the car and calls emergency services (only in some of the models fyi). This is a life saving feature for people that lose consciousness while driving (seizures, heart attacks, etc) that is a very important difference between these cars. Please consider disabilities & emergency situations when you review cars. The review at the end that says you don’t gain anything and it’s the same car is not accurate if you are someone who has epilepsy or any sort of disability that requires a car to sense medical emergencies. The cars are not the same.

Everyone wants more more more Yo! Mazda might not be inovating as much as all the other brand but what they sell is proven reliable and durable. And of all the suv's on the market mazda are by far the best looking of all.

I really love my CX-70 GT-P

Don't think it deserved the video title. Maybe "Same but different" lol. Enjoyed your sense of humour though. I am buying one. Arrives in 4 weeks. I have a 150 pound St. Bernard and a Husky Malamute. The CX-90 captains chairs would not have been practical and the CX-90 2nd row bench option is ugly as f*%k (my opinion). So this CX-70 sportier, and roomier for 2nd row and looks great! So looking forward to it and retiring my Evoque. Also looking forward to the GT PHEV!

Picking up my cx70 today buying a poly Grey with red interior i wouldn't buy a 90 the 70 looks sportier and for all you people who want a 60 I wouldn't have brought that if you look at the spec's it is the same size as a cx50 with less interior space and only 29 cubic feet of cargo the cx50 has 31

How does this differ from the cx60 and 80 you mentioned

I own one and I agree. The marketing is poor and so are some of the choices. Believe me when you drive it you don’t realize it is such a large vehicle. I transitioned from a CX5 and it seems equally nimble and the PHEV is a smooth model. Not sure it is worth 60K. Probably a better option if you are open to lease

I wish these had higher towing capacity. We would like to buy a small travel trailer but our Mazda can't tow even 1000lbs. Definitely wouldnt spend $50k on this.

Mazda engineer’s beautiful products and these slanted reviews get old. There’s a lot of Japanese culture wrapped into their design language that differentiates them and helps them punch well above their weight. I believe in their vision to go premium and I believe it will happen even with sickening levels of consumerism in today’s world. Appreciate the art 🖼️

I totally agree with you that Mazda made this vehicle a disappointment by overhyping it. I was as disappointed as you are when I saw it the first time. However, as a current 2019 CX-9 Signature owner, I would consider the CX-70 for the following reasons: 1. The CX-90 does not offer a second-row bench seat in the upper trims. I have gotten more use out of the middle seat in the second row of my CX-9 than I have out of the third row. I have rarely used the latter. 2. The CX-70 is available with a red interior in the Premium Plus trim, at least in the US, and it has an MSRP under $51k, which is a decent value considering the MSRP for a top trim CX-50, for instance, is over $45k in the US.

Mazda should have listened to its consumers in North America and brought the CX-60

What's up with the click bait title. I won't even bother finishing the video

My take is this. If you look at the Acura MDX with 3 rows. The car has captains chairs with a middle console that folds back up into a bench. You can have both. You can also fold the third row down and have a bench too. The RDX slots nicely in the mid-size arena as a different car. Mazda did not do that. They intentionally don't allow second row benches in the top 90 trims to keep buyers away from simply getting the 90 for that purpose. So basically you can make the MDX a CX-70 and a CX-90 with very small mods. You can buy a CX-90 and black out the car with the discounts dealers are offering and probably come away with a better deal. This is all a dupe for Mazda to report on being in a 2-row mid-size segment in their investor decks n stuff without having to do much of anything outside aesthetic mods. It's the world's first SEO car.

So many reviewers comment the CX70 has the very same cup holders in the cargo area, where the third row would be in a CX90. This is NOT correct. They are NOT the same. Not a big detail, but you should be aware they are completely different in the CX70.

Mazda, bring the cx 60 to north America. Who authorized this cx 70 should be fired. This a cx 90 without the 3 rd row. This has to the the worst decision Mazda has made.
