Mazda, we want CX60!!!

[@DeadAir21]

Yeah they aren’t going to bring it here

[@tonelocrian]

that's reserved for Europe

[@elyse6688]

The CX-60 didn’t get good reviews here in Australia, super stiff suspension. Makes for a terrible drive.

[@preoksaha4504]

People be hating on this cause of the similarities with the CX-90 but I’m hating cause it costs the same 💀 wtf Mazda

[@chezzyperson3339]

This car would’ve been great if they cut off 6 inches from the back

[@raymondgraber9629]

Exactly, and guess what, in Europe they showed the Cx80 which is 4" shorter and narrower. It's not planned to come here but if the 70 fails maybe they will reconsider.

[@md8744]

You are pro. Thanks for it. Yes it's so urly , weird with the damn tail about 6 inches

[@raymondgraber9629]

Sorry Mazda but this is a Cx 90, exact same dimensions. I don't believe this was the original plan because it makes no sense. They need a X5 size but they just cheaped out. I'll just get the 90 since it has the Turbo S trim for $50k and the 70 makes you go up to the S premium. Easy to fold down 3rd row when needed.

[@kitsunepalmer5129]

I'm happy to pay to not have a shoehorned third row. No kids, won't have kids so it's me and my two giant dogs and I have skipped over good deals just to wait to sit in this model

[@karlitop7497]

It’s crazy how you can still see the cup holders for where the third row would be. It’s like they fully didn’t think it through

[@lane5686]

It costs the same as the CX-90 even without the 3rd row. Mazda, math is not mathing. Give us the CX-60

[@Gopinathk17]

If its same car and price why would anybody buy this instead of CX-90?? Just put the 3rd row seats down and use it whenever needed.

[@magnoliap5824]

Right and the 90 would hold value more in case someone wanted a third row if a person was to sell it.

[@jjpark1989]

I hate how they curved out the rear. I wish they would’ve went with a more flat design. But the front looks fantastic.

[@slyfox909]

I wish they would smooth out the rear design a bit. It looks a little bulbous

[@Ricky-mo6mv]

I thought the same right away. That back end looks rather terrible.

[@marzouqalotaibi]

[@CarConfections]

Thank you, friend!

[@G_dan]

This was a FAIL from mazda. We just wanted something similar to CX 60. This car makes zero sense to me.

[@eseir64]

The Marketing team at Mazda gave the thumbs up to this. They should all be fired. Buy a CX90 and keep the seats down. At least the Honda Passport is shorter than the Pilot.

[@notsodelusional]

Mazda needs to shrink the CX - 70.

[@Antwalls92]

I do agree that they need to make the CX 70 smaller more like a suv coupe

[@timw2083]

The CX60 would have been perfect

[@emilyseifriz4601]

I like the donut test for capacity but then can you show it without the donuts so we can actually see inside the center console

[@rayavlogs]

CX-70 is a real DUD from MAZDA and soon MAZDA would discontinue this Model 😂

[@darriontunstall3708]

It looks great! Very nice!!

[@nickstark8640]

When most manufacturers update a model they concentrate on the front and rear bumpers. Thats because it’s the cheapest and quickest way to do so. That is essentially all Mazda did to differentiate the CX 70 & 90 besides the wheel design.

[@deccasupergold]

It's a CX-90 without a third row. That is all. It's ridiculous.

[@Rockytop8118]

This is just a behemoth of a mid sized vehicle. My cx-5 is too tight and this is just too big. there's no in between that would have catered to a larger segment. Most people won't need a two row with a trunk that big on the 70 for most days. I'd rather be it more nimble and shorter with a less minivan rear look

[@chrisanderson406]

How does this compare to the Santa Fe? beside the 3 row

[@Thebusdriverandgamermorefan790]

I'm a fan of Mazda for a while and I buy this.

[@sleepcycle8032]

Nice try Mazda.

[@FeLiX13sLaVe]

A 20 minute video when 2 minutes would do. We've seen this car for nearly 18 months now. If anyone wants to know how this drives, they can watch CX-90 reviews today.

[@th003g]

Yup, but 'go see the CX90 with the third row down' doesn't fill up 10 minutes for youtube reasons.

[@Smallyardguy]

😂

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Happy Tuesday to the best car reviewing brothers!!!

[@CarConfections]

Happy Wednesday now!

[@josephpayton9151]

Its confusing me on why this was made to begin with. There are rumors of a CX-60 but idk if thats coming here. However, this 70 is so controversial because its the same size of a CX-90, it doesn’t have a 3rd row and its styled the same with minor tweaks and they’re the same price. The changes weren’t bad they make a meaningful difference but in all honesty you can really keep the 3rd row down and you’ll have the same car 💀.
The 3 reasons someone would get this imo would be for the red seats, different grill and rims and the gloss black accents. Though the black accents do make the car look like it had an aftermarket chrome delete imo…

[@DeadAir21]

The CX-60 and 80 are designed for countries where space is limited. They’re never going to be sold in North America.

[@DeadAir21]

What people aren’t talking about when it comes to pricing. While yes trim for trim they are the same now you will see the price difference next year when the CX-90 rolls into the 2025 model year. And for many people that price difference whatever that will be will be a deciding factor for some to choose the 70 over the 90.

[@th003g]

They dropped the price of the 90 to match this.

[@ravenguard1495]

You can spin it as much as you want but nobody can say that this is not simply a CX90 with deleted third row option while watching the third row cupholders still inside the trunk of the cx70 because Mazda didn’t even bother to cancel them. Very sloppy Mazda, all in this car talk about a sloppy job.

[@kvetcha]

Different inserts, fwiw. They're little bins rather than cupholders. But it probably should have been a CX-90 Sport trim level or something.

[@mustangruben]

I was looking for a Honda Passport alternative with a 6 cilinder and good reliability. This vehicle is way too big. Unfortunately this is NOT an alternative....

[@eseir64]

I have a Passport and it is hte perfect size if you are looking for a larger two- row. This Mazda is the size of a Pilot.... What were they thinking? insane.

[@JJFN-zm3ky]

So it’s a longer cx 60 basically…I still like it though. Debating between this or the Acura rdx

[@honno7765]

I was driving both and they are in the same price segment. Both cars drive nicely but Mazda offers way more features on gt-p + way more space. Depends on your preference. Cx-70 doesn’t look that big in person.

[@magnoliap5824]

I call this, the Mazda Mistake!! 😂

[@apaulmuller503]

Biggest difference from the CX-90 is no 3rd seat. If I only wanted that to be the difference, I would buy the CX-90 and keep the 3rd seat folded down! I was hoping it would be about 10 inches shorter like most mid-sized SUV's. Price is even about the same price as the CX-90. Think I'll just go with the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

[@David_Journey]

The CX-70 and CX-90 with folded third row has exact same trunk space.
The only advantage CX-70 has is more space under the floor for small items

[@user-lj7zm6ym1x]

GT-P Black 😊

[@almassengale]

Mazda won't become a bigger player until they realize the reason they don't sell well is that they lag every major competitor when it comes to practicality in almost every segment. This is a car that is 200 inches long but has the same cargo space behind the second row as a CRV. Nobody packages as poorly as Mazda does and thats why they keep losing to Honda, Hyundai, Toyota, and Kia on sales. I can't imagine why anyone would choose this over a CX-90. Even if you don't generally need a third row, it could be nice in a pinch and this doens't really give you a space or price advantage over a CX90 so whats the point?

[@th003g]

But 'zoom zom'... lol

[@dr3amboy3657]

Yup, the cx 5 is a hit but the cx90 and cx70 aren't great compared to the competitors. These are cargo family haulers, not sports car. These need to be practical.

[@David_Journey]

Neither of those “competitors” have rear wheel drive bias. You need to compare apples to apples in packaging and compare to X5

[@th003g]

@David_Journey the majority of buyers in the segment could care less about which wheel bias the car has. You can't compare it to the x5 because the X5 has a much more well thought out interior and avaliable air suspension. The 70/90 are the size of an x7 outside but the size of a Gle inside. For many buyers, that makes no sense. Some interior trim is nice but then other stuff is missing (stitched dash materials, more adjustable seats, multiple input methods for the infotainment, better vent placement, etc) if you want to go premium and compare yourself against an X5 you better offer some thing more advanced than typical Mazda parts bin.
Some reviews of the 90 have reported issues with the transmission programming, suspension/steering tuning issues, and idiosyncracies. In general, the car seems to have been rushed to market considering it's a completely new platform/drivetrain for Mazda.
Mazda intentionally is trying to pidgeonhole itself into a small sliver of the market. Not a formula for big sales and profits.

[@David_Journey]

@@th003g I cannot be happier owner of a CX-90 PHEV. This model has not had what you are describing of Inline-6 models. Transmission software was updated, so reviews maybe outdated. Also Turbo S has stitched dashboard on top trim.

[@sebastianamaya7631]

Currently have a leased CX-5 turbo and was hoping to upgrade to the cx-70 thinking it was gonna be similar to the cx-60 in Europe. Sadly will have to turn over to another brand to make it work. Hopefully there’s a rework of the cx-70 for the upcoming years 🤞🏻

[@cancel.lgbtq.6892]

You guys should've got this instead of that Santa Fe junk!

[@Michael-lz3bk]

I don’t understand why there is no captains chairs in the second row if it just as long as the Cx90 why not use that space for people that don’t want or need a third row and I still don’t know why Mazda doesn’t have a touch screen

[@martinfroml.a.5984]

I wonder if the redesign CX-5 will be rear drive. There is a rumor that both it and the CX-50 will continue to be sold together in North America.

[@eyeliketony]

Fake vents are a no go. I think Mazda could do better in the design department. This model is pretty much not filling any niche. More like another trim level of the CX-90. A missed opportunity I think.

[@ArthurBenetton]

This car is just confusing. I thought it was the little brother, the X3 to the CX-90's X5 (Mazda exec's in glee that I am comparing this to a BMW)... But wait - same size? And it feels less premium in general than the convincingly-premium CX-90. If it's going to be the same size, less seats, and more expensive - it needs to be WAY more sexy - the X6 to continue the analogy. Nothing about this feels more premium inside or out, than the CX-90. And the lower number name just adds severely to the confusion!!

[@mannygonzalez4178]

Nothing wrong with the length people. It’s the prices that’s about the same price as the cx90.

[@eseir64]

Dumb Mazda. I drive a Honda Passport and I did not want the larger and three -row Pilot. Why would anyone buy this when they can buy the CX-90. Mazda did nothing to differentiate the vehicles.
