The Mazda CX-70 is one of the best SUVs for young families or professionals who want a crossover without all of the extra size. It is also one of the few feature-rich SUVs that doesn't force you to spend $60,000 to get a few options.  

What CarBuzz Had to Say 

In a recent article by CarBuzz, the website said about the Mazda, "There's nothing else out there that gives you as much space, interior quality, fun handling, and a punchy turbocharged inline-six. The closest rival with most of these attributes is the inline-six BMW X3, and it's not as big, and you'll have to hand over $66,000 before options..." 

Starting Price and Power 

With a starting price of $43,780 for the base Turbo Preferred and $47,810 for the Turbo Premium, the 2026 Mazda CX-70 comes standard with all-wheel drive, and a 3.3-liter turbocharged inline-6 engine that produces 280 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque using 87 octane gas.  

Good Fuel Economy and Towing Capacity 

With the help of an 8-speed automatic transmission, the CX-70 gets an EPA-estimated 24 mpg in city driving and 28 mpg on the highway, with 25 mpg combined. The Preferred model is capable of towing up to 3,500 lbs when properly equipped, while the Premium and higher trims can tow up to 5,000 lbs.  

Excellent Cargo Space 

Behind the second row of seats, the CX-70 has 39.6 cubic feet of cargo space, which expands to 75.3 cubic feet when the seats are folded flat. 

The CX-70 is Packed with Standard Features 

Mazda made sure to pack the CX-70 with lots of standard features, such as 21-inch aluminum wheels with a black metal finish, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a total of 4 USB-C ports, two front and two rear, 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, 4G LTE WiFi, wireless phone charger, leather seats, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, 8-way power adjustable driver's seat with power lumbar support, 8-way power passenger seat, a heated steering wheel, and more. Try finding that amount of equipment on the base model of any other crossover that starts at less than $45,000. 

One of The Safest Vehicles for Sale 

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has awarded the CX-70 as a Top Safety Pick+, indicating that it is one of the safest vehicles available today. Thanks to a long list of standard safety that includes front, knee, curtain, and side-impact airbags, Smart Brake Support with Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning System, Lane-Keep Assist, Radar Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Driver Attention Alert, Rear View Monitor, Vehicle Exit Warning, Rear Seat Alert, and front and rear parking sensors. The Preferred trim adds Traffic Sign Recognition, Secondary Collision Reduction, Emergency Lane Keeping with Blind Spot Assist, Road Keep Assist, Head-on Traffic Avoidance Assist, Cruising and Traffic Support, and Speed Limit Assist to the Radar Cruise Control.  

Higher Trim Levels 

Buyers with a budget exceeding $50,000 can opt for the higher trims, including the Turbo Premium Plus, Turbo S Premium, and Turbo S Premium Plus. All CX-70 models feature the same 3.3-liter turbocharged engine, but the latter two trims offer an additional six horsepower and 20 lb-ft of torque, for a total of 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Even with the extra power, the Turbo S models only lose one mpg in city driving.  

There Are Even Plug-In Models 

Starting from $55,930, there are two plug-in hybrid variants: the PHEV Premium and PHEV Premium Plus, both equipped with a 2.5-liter hybrid motor that delivers 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque.
