Let me be real with you—when Mazda sent over the CX-70, I wasn’t expecting to be this impressed. But here’s the thing: this isn’t just another crossover trying to play dress-up. This is Mazda saying, “We see you, and we built this for your family.”
**First Impressions**
That Soul Red Crystal Metallic paint? It hits different in person. Pull up to the cookout, the school pickup line, or Sunday brunch, and people notice. The 21-inch machined alloy wheels give it presence without being flashy. It’s confident, not loud—exactly what you want when you’re making moves.
**What’s Under the Hood**
Here’s where it gets interesting. The 3.3-liter turbo pushes 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque with premium gas. That’s real power—the kind that merges onto the highway without making you hold your breath. The M Hybrid Boost system adds a little extra punch while keeping things efficient at 25 mpg combined.
And yes, it tows 5,000 pounds. So whether you’re pulling the boat to the lake or helping your cousin move (again), the CX-70 handles it.
**Inside Where It Counts**
The Tan Nappa leather interior is where Mazda flexes on brands charging $20K more. Heated AND ventilated front seats. Heated second-row seats for the kids. A heated leather steering wheel for those cold morning commutes.
The 12.3-inch center display paired with another 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster? Clean. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto mean no more fumbling with cables. And Alexa is built right in—just ask her to change the temperature or play your playlist.
Five passengers fit comfortably. Not “we’ll make it work” comfortable—actually comfortable.
**Safety That Has Your Back**
This is non-negotiable when your family’s in the car. The CX-70 comes loaded:
– 360-degree view monitor with see-through view (parallel parking just got easier)
– Blind spot monitoring
– Rear cross traffic alert
– Front AND rear parking sensors
– Driver monitoring (it knows when you’re tired)
– Cruising and Traffic Support (basically holds the lane and maintains distance in traffic)
The rear seat alert makes sure nobody forgets anything—or anyone—in the back. Smart.
**The Real Talk**
At $59,685, you’re paying near-luxury money. But look at what you’re getting compared to the Germans or even some domestic options at this price point. Nappa leather. Bose 12-speaker system. Panoramic moonroof. i-Activ AWD. Hill descent control for those adventurous weekends.
Mazda’s 60-month/60K powertrain warranty and 24-hour roadside assistance show they stand behind it.
**Who’s This For?**
If you’re a young family ready to step up from your current ride—something that says you’ve arrived without screaming about it—the CX-70 deserves a hard look. It’s practical enough for daily life, premium enough for date night, and capable enough for family adventures.
This is what upgrading looks like when you want substance with your style.
