2025 Mazda CX-70 First Contact: Meet the 5-Seat CX-90

•    Auto123 went to see the all-new 2025 Mazda CX-70 in the flesh.

New York, NY - Back in the 1990s, Mazda had grand ambitions to launch a luxury brand. To be called Amati, it would have competed with the likes of Lexus, Infiniti and Acura. 

The plan never came to fruition, but in recent years Mazda has been pushing the brand forward… and especially upward. Exiting models have steadily been replaced more luxurious models. The CX-30, CX-50 and CX-90 were more-upscale successors to the CX-3, CX-5 and CX-9. Now we get the CX-70, in essence a five-seat CX-90 and set to debut at Mazda dealerships this spring.

2025 Mazda CX-70 - What's new?

Everything and not that much, really. Yes, it's an all-new model, but the CX-70 is built on the same platform and has the same engines and transmission as the CX-90. Even the visual styling is strikingly similar. You have to look closely to notice the differences. The front grille is slightly different from that of the CX-90. Uniquely designed LED headlights, a panoramic roof, a power tailgate and tinted rear windows are some of the other distinct features. 

We don't know what all the colours the Mazda CX-70 offering will include, but Mazda Canada has promised some unique hues for the model.
