Mazda’s New Arrival: The 2025 CX-70

Word on the street is that Mazda is gearing up to introduce a groundbreaking SUV – the 2025 CX-70. Positioned seamlessly between the CX-50 and CX-90, the forthcoming CX-70 promises an expansive interior paired with state-of-the-art plug-in hybrid technology. Taking design cues from the Europe-exclusive CX-60 SUV, the CX-70 is set to showcase a familiar yet more wide-bodied body profile. While complete details remain shrouded in mystery, let’s dive into what awaits Mazda fans here at Safford Mazda Chantilly, Virginia.

Engine Performance & Efficiency

It’s rumored that the Mazda CX-70 might borrow its powerhouse from the top-of-the-line CX-90 PHEV. If these predictions hit the mark, we’re looking at a robust 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, complemented by a beefy electric motor. This combo could potentially output an impressive 323 horsepower with a torque of 369 lb-ft. Fuel efficiency estimates peg this setup at a remarkable 56 MPGe/25 mpg. Yet, considering the CX-70’s proposed sleeker and lighter frame compared to the CX-90, these figures are best approached with a grain of salt.

Potential Engine Configurations:

• 3.3-liter turbocharged inline-6
  280 horsepower/332 lb-ft of torque
  24 mpg city/28 mpg highway
• 3.3-liter turbocharged inline-6
  340 horsepower/369 lb-ft of torque
  23 mpg city/28 mpg highway
• 2.5-liter 4-cylinder + Electric Motor
  323 horsepower/369 lb-ft of torque
  56 MPGe/25 mpg combined

Lavish Interiors & Cutting-Edge Tech

Drawing parallels from the high-end CX-90 and CX-60, the 2-row only CX-70 is expected to up the ante. Enthusiasts can likely look forward to a range of premium materials, such as f genuine wood trim, plush Nappa leather, and upscale suede finishes.

On the tech front, the CX-70 is expected to offer a choice between a 10.25-inch and a 12.3-inch infotainment console, varying by trim level, but that’s all we know for now.

Safety: A Paramount Priority

Given Mazda’s illustrious history with safety tech, the CX-70 is projected to be on par with its Top Safety Pick+ rated kin. Under its i-Active Sense suite, some potential features include:

• • Dynamic Stability Control with Traction Control System and Trailer Stability Assist
  • Rear View Monitor
  • Hill Launch Assist
  • Blind Spot Monitoring
  • Blind Spot Assist

• Rear Cross Traffic Alert
• Lane-Keep Assist
• Lane Departure Warning System
• Engine-Immobilizer Anti-Theft System
