Mazda CX-70 SUV Unveiled with CX-90-inspired Design and Engine, Expected Price above 900 million VNĐ

2023 is a successful year for Mazda in the United States with a sales increase of nearly 24%, mostly thanks to three new products: CX-30, CX-50, and CX-90. Among them, CX-90 attracts the most attention because this SUV has a luxurious exterior and modern equipment, accompanied by a reasonable price. However, the large size of this 3-row SUV makes many people hesitate to “spend money”. To solve this problem, Mazda has just introduced the CX-70, a “younger sibling” model with a design similar to the CX-90 but more flexible and dynamic, suitable for young families.

Compared to the CX-90, Mazda CX-70 has a more sporty design by removing chrome details and replacing them with glossy black accents. The front of the car looks muscular with a higher and more square-shaped grille, accompanied by large air vents on both sides.

At the rear, the headlight cluster of Mazda CX-70 is identical to the CX-90. The rear bumper also has a new design, with two fake exhaust tips at the corners. The car is equipped with standard 21-inch two-tone sports rims. Details such as mirror covers, door handles, and roof rails are finished in glossy black.

Similar to the CX-90, Mazda CX-70 has a modern and luxurious interior, aiming to compete with high-end segment models. This SUV is equipped with exclusive red seats, accompanied by black accents.

CX-70 is the first Mazda model to integrate Amazon Alexa. This system provides voice control capabilities such as turning on/off the air conditioning and adjusting the entertainment screen. At the same time, it also provides synchronization with devices inside the house provided by Amazon.

CX-70 also features a distracted driving warning in the safety technology package. With this feature, the car triggers an audible warning if the driver shows signs of distraction. In case there is no response signal, the car will automatically stop on the roadside to ensure safety and turn on the hazard lights.

CX-70 is equipped with the same engine as the CX-90, including a 3.3-liter 6-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine, producing 280 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque in the standard version, or 340 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque in the higher-end version. Meanwhile, the PHEV version is equipped with a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine along with a 68 kW electric motor and a 17.8 kWh capacity battery. In pure electric mode, the CX-70 has a maximum operating range of 48 km.

Mazda CX-70 uses a standard rear-wheel drive system, with a maximum towing capacity of 2,267 kg for the six-cylinder engine version and 1,587 kg for the hybrid version.

In terms of size, CX-70 has a wheelbase length of 3,119 mm, equivalent to the CX-90. This helps the SUV have a spacious trunk space, suitable for long trips.

Mazda has not announced the specific selling price of CX-70. However, according to Motor1, this Japanese SUV will have a price range from $38,000 to $57,000. The main competitors of CX-70 in the US market include Honda Passport and Toyota Crown Signia.
