There are a few midsize SUVs you could drive through Oxnard, Venture, or Camarillo and draw admiring glances. But there’s another to add to the list that delivers a premium aura and experience for a price that won’t make you wince. The model in question is the all-new 2025 Mazda CX-90, a two-row midsize crossover SUV with stunning exterior styling, superb interiors, and excellent driving characteristics that add up to a sublime package.
The 2025 Mazda CX-70 has seven different variants to choose from, but here, we will focus on the five that do not have a plug-in-hybrid powertrain. The five non-PHEV variants of the CX-70 begin with the base-level Turbo Preferred trim and then proceed to the Turbo Premium, Turbo Premium Plus, Turbo S Premium, and the top-tier Turbo S Premium Plus. All five have generous lists of standard features to suit various budgets and potential buyers. The Turbo Preferred has an excellent feature set for a base model, and the Turbo S Premium Plus is absolutely superb and is a genuine rival to many prestige models costing considerably more than the Mazda.
Shoppers in Port Hueneme and Santa Paula have two engine choices with the 2025 CX-70, both of which have 48-Volt mild-hybrid technology. The default engine for the Turbo Preferred, Turbo Premium, and Turbo Premium Plus models is a 3.3-liter inline-six turbo that delivers 280 horsepower and 332 lb.-ft. of torque. The performance is smooth and confident, and the EPA-estimated fuel efficiency is 24 mpg in the city, 28 mpg on the highway, and 25 mpg combined. The other option is a 3.3-liter turbo-six that powers the Turbo S Premium and Turbo S Premium Plus models. However, this one is a high-output version that produces 340 horsepower and 369 lb.-ft. of torque. All the engine options for the CX-70 share an eight-speed automatic transmission and Mazda’s i-Activ all-wheel drive (AWD) system as standard. The EPA-estimated efficiency ratings for the high-output engine are 23 mpg in the city, 28 mpg on the highway, and 25 mpg combined.
The cabin of the 2025 CX-70 is a stunning combination of comfort, space, quality, and style that delivers the kind of interior that was once only found in luxury vehicles with luxury prices. Standard features include black leather seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, a 12.3-inch Mazda Connect center infotainment screen with touch functionality for the wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto compatibility, a seven-inch TFT LCD display for the instrument panel, an eight-speaker sound system, wireless phone charging, Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry, push-button start, automatic climate control, and heated front seats with eight-way power adjustment for the driver. All models also come with Mazda’s i-Activsense, which is a package of advanced safety features such as Smart Brake Support, Blind Spot Monitoring, Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Driver Attention Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and a Rear View Monitor with static guidelines.
There are lots of midsize crossover SUVs that all excel in different areas. However, the all-new 2025 Mazda CX-70 pays close attention to every aspect that matters to shoppers who know what they want.
