2026 Mazda CX-70 SC

The CX-70 slots between the CX-50 and CX-90 as a two-row midsize SUV with a focus on style and driving fun. It competes with the Honda Passport, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Nissan Murano, offering a more premium feel than most. Driving is a strong suit, with responsive steering and a composed chassis that make the CX-70 feel more agile than its size suggests. The cabin is upscale for the class, with high-quality materials and a clean design, though rear legroom is a bit tight for a midsize SUV. Standard tech includes a large infotainment display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus the full i-Activsense safety suite. Its 2.5L I4 plug-in hybrid makes 189 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, paired with a eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive; electric torque makes it feel quicker off the line than the number suggests.
