8 Reasons to Fall in Love With the Mazda CX-70
Have you heard the Mazda lineup is growing? Lee Johnson Mazda of Seattle, the leading Mazda dealer near Woodway, is excited to introduce the all-new 2025 Mazda CX-70. With the CX-90’s recent introduction, the CX-70 marks another incredible addition to the automaker’s family. More importantly, it is an excellent fit for many customers throughout Seattle and the surrounding areas, especially those who call “The Quiet Place” home.
But what can you expect from the CX-70? How does it differ from the CX-90? Why is everyone making such a fuss over Mazda’s newest SUV? It’s time to find out as we highlight eight reasons you’ll fall in love with the highly anticipated CX-70.
#1 - It’s Sophistication at Its Finest
The upcoming CX-70 is designed specifically for American drivers, with its sporty and sophisticated exterior design complementing an upscale interior that prioritizes comfort, innovation, and convenience. The CX-70 is designed on what Mazda refers to as a “Passion Pursuer” concept, with the automaker combining functional features with sophistication and elegance to give Woodway drivers the best of both worlds. With its distinct style and engaging heartbeat, it’s engineered to add excitement to every drive and turn heads mile after mile.
#2 - It’s a Complement to the CX-90
At first glance, the CX-70 shares many design details and features with the CX-90. Why reinvent the wheel when the CX-90 is a successful SUV revered for its premium packaging, engaging performance, and innovative technologies? Mazda doesn’t have to but uses the CX-70 to fill a vacancy in the lineup. Where the CX-90 is a three-row midsize SUV, the CX-70 marks the automaker’s debut in the two-row midsize segment.
By pulling the third row from the CX-90’s layout, the CX-70’s cabin feels even more spacious and accommodating. As a result, you and your passengers have more head, leg, and shoulder room across both rows. Likewise, cargo space is plentiful, with three underfloor storage compartments and a flat-folding second row that offers room for everything from groceries and luggage to backpacks, boxes, and other gear.
#3 - It’s Engaging, Efficient, and Fun to Drive
Woodway drivers have an average commute of 29 minutes, meaning most spend at least an hour in the driver’s seat every day. Mazda makes that hour and every minute after more enjoyable by offering the CX-70 with two engaging powertrains. You can opt for the CX-70 with an inline six-cylinder or as a plug-in hybrid. The inline-six combines turbocharged gasoline power with a mild-hybrid boost to deliver up to 340 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. The PHEV is just as impressive, with Mazda combining a 2.5L inline-four with an electric motor to produce 323 hp and 369 lb-ft of near-instant torque.
#4 - It’s No Slouch When Towing
The CX-70 is designed as a Passion Pursuer, meaning it’s built to enhance your life and inspire you to pursue every adventure life offers. Part of pursuing that adventure is knowing the CX-70 can handle its share of the load, especially when tasked with towing. Fortunately, Mazda guarantees as much, with the CX-70 capable of towing up to 5,000 lbs.
Mazda extends the CX-70’s capability with the available Towing Mode and technologies like the Trailer Hitch View, which simplifies the process of hitching to a trailer by using the SUV’s expansive center touchscreen display. The available Premier Tow package adds a trailer hitch, tow ball mount, and harness to the SUV. It also equips the CX-70 with an intelligent brake controller that works with the SUV’s brake system to enhance stability and give you more control in the driver’s seat.
#5 - It’s Intuitive and Connected
Mazda is one of the most tech-focused automakers, and it is revered for adding innovative technologies to increase the value of each model and your experience in the driver’s seat. The CX-70 is no exception and rolls off the factory floor with the Mazda Connect infotainment system via an expansive 12.3-inch full-color display that complements the SUV’s 12.3-inch driver display. The Mazda Connect system ensures seamless connectivity via wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, voice command capability, and Alexa Built-In. You’ll also find Bluetooth compatibility and plenty of entertainment features, from the premium 12-speaker Bose sound system to Pandora, HD Radio, and SiriusXM.
#6 - It’s Tech-Savvy and Driver-Focused
The CX-70’s tech-savvy design is even more apparent in its suite of safety and driver-assist technologies. The all-new SUV introduces Mazda’s latest safety technology, Cruising & Traffic Support system with Unresponsive Driver Support. The technology monitors your attention, noting if your eyes are not on the road or your hands aren’t on the wheel. When activated, the system will alert you to inattentiveness, eventually slowing and stopping the CX-70 if you fail to respond.
This technology coincides with the CX-70’s i-Activsense safety technology that heightens your situational awareness and mitigates the potential for a collision. These technologies include Smart Brake Support, Road Keep Assist, Blind Spot Assist, Vehicle Exit Warning, and Head-On Traffic Avoidance Assist. You can also opt for advanced features like a digital rearview mirror, which expands your visibility behind the CX-70 by showing you a broader view of your blind spots.
While these features are undoubtedly impressive, the list doesn’t stop there, making the CX-70 one of the best-equipped SUVs in its class in terms of safety and driver-assist tools. For example, you can add a 360-degree View Monitor for an expansive view around the SUV and reap the benefits of standard and enhanced tools like Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Front Cross Traffic Alert, and Smart Brake Support Forward and Reverse with Pedestrian Detection. Other features like Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go and Automatic Speed Limit Assist are especially helpful for Woodway commuters, with the technology automatically adjusting your cruising speed based on traffic.
#7 - It Showcases Mazda’s Keen Attention to Detail
Mazda did a remarkable job designing the CX-70 to be functional, luxurious, innovative, and value-oriented. It’s an incredible combination heightened by the automaker’s keen attention to detail. We see this throughout the CX-70’s cabin and its long list of features that heighten every experience you have in the driver’s seat.
The CX-70’s ambient lighting adds a unique touch to the SUV, while Mazda’s keyless entry system enhances your convenience by eliminating the need to dig for your keys to unlock the doors. Heated and ventilated front seats add comfort, while Nappa leather seats take that comfort to the next level. Premium comfort is also readily available in the second row, which reclines to give your passengers optimal support and relaxation. Moreover, you can easily fold the second row with the touch of a button and take advantage of the CX-70’s expansive cargo space with integrated storage bins and a spacious underfloor compartment.
#8 - It’s Luxury at a Non-Luxury Price
After highlighting all these reasons to fall in love with the CX-70, there must be some catch or caveat. Right? It’s easy to assume that the CX-70 will boast a mile-high price tag because of its innovative technologies, premium seating, and upscale cabin. However, that isn’t the case, nor is it Mazda’s style. Instead, the 2025 CX-70 remains true to Mazda’s roots with a starting price of just $40,445.[a] This price sets the benchmark for the CX-70, putting you behind the wheel of an all-wheel drive SUV that promises plenty of fun and opulence wherever the road takes you.
