TheStraightPipes have gotten their hands on the 2025 Mazda CX70, and let me tell you, it's a bit of a head-scratcher. This thing is basically a CX90, but with no third row. It's like Mazda couldn't decide where to place it in their lineup, so they just threw it in between the CX50 and CX90. Confusing, right?

But let's talk about what really matters: power. The CX70 comes with an inline six-cylinder engine that packs a punch. Unofficially, it's got around 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. And if that's not enough for you, there's also a plug-in hybrid version with a theoretical 323 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. These numbers are not official, mind you, but they're still impressive.

Now, let's move on to the looks. The Canadian models have some interesting differences compared to their US counterparts. For example, the top trim in Canada comes with color-matched cladding and black wheels, giving it a sleek and stylish appearance. Inside, the CX70 offers plenty of space and comfort, especially for those who don't need a third row. The trunk is long and spacious, and there are even buttons to drop the second row for added convenience.

When it comes to the interior, Mazda has done a commendable job. The infotainment system is controlled by a rotary knob, which I personally find much more intuitive than touchscreens. And let's not forget about the safety features, like the SOS button and Amazon Alexa integration. It's clear that Mazda has put a lot of thought into the design and functionality of the CX70.

Overall, the 2025 Mazda CX70 is an intriguing addition to the Mazda lineup. It may not fit neatly into their existing models, but it certainly offers power, style, and practicality. Whether you're in Canada or the US, this SUV is worth considering if you're in the market for a two-row vehicle with ample space and a touch of luxury.
