2026 Mazda CX-70 Turbo Preferred

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 3.3L I6 hybrid makes 280 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, sent through the eight-speed automatic to all-wheel drive, and it returns 25 mpg combined. The cabin gets leather-trimmed seats with heating and ventilation up front, plus heated second-row seats, which is a lot of comfort for the entry price.
