the fact they just deleted the third row from a three row crossover (cx90) and named it a whole new model, and touting that it is larger than the competitoion is hilarious. it's 8 inches longer than the rx. i love mazda, but come on, this should just be a cx90 with the third row delete option
Completely agree. I was considering the new CX90 until I discovered no 3rd row.
Agree. I was anxiously waiting for this, but decided to go X5 as soon as I saw all they did was remove the third row and didn't bother to reduce the length or fix that weird kink in the back that makes it look almost like a van.
The CX 70 was also on our list to replace my wife’s car. But I found out a couple months ago. It is just a CX 90 without a third row. We were led to believe that it was going to be somewhere between the CX5/50 and the 90. So now it’s not on the list. Too bad because I really like these Mazdas.
@@limulus61between a 5 and a 50?! That is crazy lol
@@CarlosMartinez-rx9vkbetween a CX5 or 50 and the 90 in size. The CX 5 an 50 are basically the same. The CX60 which is available in other countries is what we were expecting.
I've seen a few cx-90s on the road and they are absolutely gorgeous. I've owned a Mazda before and loved it. Excited they're in the i6 turbo game now.
We had 2 Mazdas so far, an 89 MX6 and an 01 Protege. They were simple and reliable but we lost both of them to rust. Mazda has made a huge comeback with regards to styling, build quality and performance. Worth a look.
I'm still fascinated by the decision to create a new nameplate for this rather than just having a 3rd row delete option for the CX-90 or something like that.
Exactly. Guess they made the decision to save the hundreds of millions of dollars in developing a new model, but as a result, this is a huge nothing burger. Won’t handle better or be any quicker than the CX-90, and may have marginally more cargo room. For a brand that cares about driving experience, this makes zero sense. What’s even funnier is watching the automotive press perform the obligatory gushing over…….a CX-9- with two rows……
If they came out with this car first, and then the cx90 added a 3rd row, everyone would be complaining that the 90 is too small. Because they came out with the 90 first, and deleted a row for the 70, everyone is crapping on this car.
Either way, these are nice cars. And the storage under the cargo area is nice
Exactly 👏🏽
You nailed it.
People are crapping on the car because they marketed it like an all-new model when they just removed the third row. How does this car satisfy people in the market for a mid-size SUV but don't need the extra row and length of a CX-90?
@@novawolverine satisfies me. I like the extra storage over a cx50 or cx5, those car barely fit golf clubs. This works a lot better
@DWK33 the problem with the Cx90 is that it is the size of a grand highlander with the interior space of a highlander. For most people, that makes no sense. There are many people in the multiple cx5/50 forums who are looking to upsize to a larger two row or three row crossover, but the 90 is just too plain big and space inefficient.
Bought it, arrived yesterday, love my inline 6 ❤
GT-P in black for me 🙂
Mazda has nailed their styling so much for these past few years. The interior of this is really nice as well.
I agree. Just bought a CX-50 and it looks sharp. I get compliments on how good it looks all the time.
@@edschobs5204turbo?
What sept do you hail from?
@@jonathanleak7263 I did not get the turbo. I plan on keeping the car at least 10 years. Not saying a Turbocharged car won’t last that long, I feel like the odds of issues happening are minimized by not having a turbo.
Wow, all in one take! Way to go!!
Wow, take a CX-90 and fold the third row down.
He did a great job on the review.
I'm a fan of mazda, I only wish they had a small or midsized pickup. That inline 6 would be awesome in a small-ish or midsized pickup.
Ya, that would be an amazing truck engine with slight adjustments to turbo size and tune.
Take a look at the BT-50 available in Australia and see if you feel the same.
Am glad they didn't go for bumper headlights.
Ngl I would pick this over its competitors, including brands like Toyota and Subaru
Same! 👍🏾
I don’t think they are competing against those brands but higher market
That's not saying much when the manufacturer wants to target BMW.
@@th003gIt’s in the same price range as Toyota, Subaru and similar size cars. Why not compare it to all the above.
I’d much rather pay 40-47k for a CX-70 or 90 than the X5 sticker price. It’s bigger too.
Large products group by Mazda such as CX 60, CX 70, CX 80, and CX 90 compete with more premium models than mainstream models but are cheaper than BMW, Benz, Lexus, Genesis.
Remember ‘that guy’ who wanted everyone to know they knew the relationship between Vader and Luke … as if they were the first to discover it?
What’s hilarious are the people who come here just to complain about the CX 70 just being a CX 90 without a third row. We know, dude. We know.
Why not just hang out at the CX 90 videos then and make yourself a happy camper. :)
This was a great review! Not too technical but still informative. Mazda did a fantastic job with this car
Another good review, Kase
Got mine yesterday, totally love it! It commands attention and I saw the BMW and Mercedes drivers looking real hard at it lol! It is a very nice vehicle and I had a BMW in the past, it was nice!!! But this feels different!! Mazda is coming ladies and gentleman!
Great job!
Thank z you as you are the first presenter to e XO plain the power drive trains , great job.
Mazda CX-89.5
Great test drive
GREAT REVIEW...AWESOME STUFF
Great job
Mazda makes a great vehicle. I’m in the market for a truck. I wish they would come back out with another small pick up. I loved mine back in the day.
MAZDAAAAAA.. ...stay awaaaaay from CVT buddy.
What? No modern Mazda has a cvt.
Mazda says "premium fuel" recommended, but will it cause an issue using 87 octane fuel? thanks!
I’d take it, Mazda is killing it.
The rear does not convince me.. it looks weird proportioned looking if from the side or front three quarters
mid size rwd base in line I 6 and no stupid 3rd row , like the under floor stowage stash goodies so no one can see ........hope other manufacturers see this , all they have to do is opt to delete the 3rd row as most 3rd rows 90% never see any use
The rear seat on my 14 year old full-size sedan looks brand new from lack of usage.
Five stars for you kase. ❤. Kase I’m curious. If you bought one hypothetically what color would you get bud ?
$40ish to start? Seems hefty, but our 2016 mid-range awd CX-9 was $30ish in 2016. I don't like higher prices, but as higher prices go, this doesn't seem unreasonable.
Nice intro to this vehicle. In this price range,
my top 3 picks are Toyota, Mazda & Honda ...
(Crown Signia, CX-70, Passport vs. CRV Hybrid)
What’s up with everyone comparing this to a BMW?! It’s like Mazda told all the reviewers “make sure you tell your viewers this car is better than a BMW X5”
Thank you !? I’ve been wondering the same thing ! Out of all the other brands , the x5 is the only model to compare it to ? Seems kinda forced . Especially knowing those vehicles come loaded with insane features and dynamics . I love Mazda , but I believe they are “reaching” a lil too high based off what they have to offer . Massage seats ,air suspension , screens behind the seats ,sport packages and etc . I believe they should’ve just brought over the cx60 instead
I mean, you can see that Mazda themselves provided a Lexus, a BMW, and a Grand Cherokee for direct comparison. It's a bit quixotic, but godspeed to them.
That crap is why they are 30K more!!!!
@@kjprettyboi99 The X5 come standard with LESS features, not more: intro trim to intro trim or price matched. Printing the features list for both base models and putting them side by side is eye opening to see what the X5 DOESN'T come with standard.
Have to add anywhere from 8-14k in options on top of the X-5 already elevated base price to match features, or spring for the even more expensive M60 that comes with more features standard.
This thing has nothing on the equivalent BMW. And ppl say auto journalists don't make up and push their BS to change the market.
I was very disappointed by the CX 70. I was hoping we would get something similar to the CX 60 being offered in europe.
They should have made it a touch shorter and re-shaped that weird bulbous d-pillar that doesn't need to be there without the third row. Not sure what Mazda was thinking. What good is cutting costs when you essentially kneecap the product?
Going after Lexus? Ok, I can agree to that. After all Lexus SUVs are nothing but overpriced RAV4s or Highlanders. I have a hard time seeing BMW buyers cross shipping with Mazda tough.
The inline 6 cylinder diesel sounds amazing. Shame it doesn’t come to the USA
I currently have the PHEV and so far I like it, but here are my cons:
1. I only get 19 miles of EV doing all city.
2. Huge 21 wheels, so no offroad trim
3. Heavy because of that batter and combined with 21 wheels ride over rough roads sucks.
4. Lacks front console space
5. Seat belt alarm
6. Car play is not touch
7. Sear seat hardly recline and they are captains. The bench seat on this video reclines a lot more.
Is there a spare tire?
My guy 😂was going to say it's May in PS it's already 100 there! What's w/the black carhart attire? Do your cute pastels! Come on & the locals would ❤ya! I'm sure they do anyway. But think cooler colors for 1000°PS! & Mazda nice throwing shade at the comp as far as the back room pretty funny. Prettier & different than the sea of same too.
Leaving the cup holders in the back where a 3rd row has been deleted is BEYOND TACKY.
Nice, a reliable BMW 👍🏻
BMWs are reliable my e70 has over 180K with out problems.
The X5 is near the top reliability-wise per Consumer Reports.
@@novawolverinebut way overpriced and depreciates way too fast
@@patriot4757 true, but that can be said for a lot of luxury brands. better to get what you truly want if you can afford it despite the downsides.
Nice car!
My favorite SUV. ❤❤❤
Mazda is so hot right now, big fan.
They needed to make this shorter than the 90 but longer than the 50. Would have been a huge hit. I hardly see either of these vehicles in Colorado. Heck, I see more Pathfinders. It is a good price compared to the competition. 😂
What his this presenter's name? I like his style.
Regarding this car, yes, as others have said, it's just a CX-90 with the 3rd row removed. Would have preferred a shorter vehicle with just the two rows.
Nice, but I would not keep it past the powertrain warrenty.
Its a CX90 rear seat delete... we wanted a CX60
Excellent video Kase, I love the color of this particular spec. The CX-70 is a confusing model for me because it's so identical in every way to the CX-90. One of its differences being it's a two row only model, it's like a much bigger CX-50 or CX-5. You presented this vehicle very well Kase.
I have a 2024 CX50. - Mazda should have moderately increased the size of the CX50 and called it the CX70. Made the 2 row an option on the 90… and renamed the CX5 to CX50. Then adapt the PHEV to those models and they can fit all markets. Small, medium & large. - Now they lost the competition in that mid size market.
New CX5 will be a reskin of the cx-60 (shorter and narrower than 70/90)
Just a CX-90 without the third row.
Kase even called it a CX-90 1:15 😁
I couldn’t tell the difference between this and the CX-90, other than it’s a two row versus a three row SUV. I think Mazda could’ve done more to the exterior to distinguish the difference.
Is the base 3.3l 6cyl normally aspirated or turbo also? What’s the payload of all of these? Towing max doesn’t mean much if it can’t handle the tongue weight plus cargo and people. Any info on that would be appreciated. Very good review. Thanks
The i6 engine is turbocharged in all trims that get it.
Any ideas on payload?
3500 or 5000 depending on trim, assuming the same as the cx-90 as they're essentially the same SUV
3000-5000 pounds is not payload it’s towing max of a trailer. I’m talking about payload…meaning max tongue weight allowed plus cargo and passengers. Consideration of tongue weight of the trailer, cargo plus passengers, one could overload the suspension and be very dangerous. Not to mention illegal. If one crashes into others with an overloaded vehicle and or trailer, insurance may not pay. Max tow ability is only one part of the towing equation. If your trailer weights 5000 pounds and has a 700 pound tongue weight I doubt you could tow a packed unibody SUV. If cargo is 500 pounds and two adults weight 300 pounds the payload is 700+500+300 or 1500 pounds. That’s 1/2 ton truck payload. Be careful with max tow weight manufacturer ratings. It’s deceiving.
@@highpeaks6542a quick search suggests it may have upwards of 1300lbs of payload, maybe up to 1600lbs (but that was using CX-90 GVWR which may not reflect this new one even though it’s basically identical with fewer seats).
I want a cx-75. a cx-90 with the 2nd row delete for massive leg room. lol
☕☕ Morning TFL
Morning son
i have always liked how organized and clean Mazda makes their engine bays. everything is routed so nicely.
But it's a mechanics nightmare.Engine has to be pulled for simple repairs.
I don’t think it’s unexpected because of their history and it just being Mazda, ya know? A specialty brand.. I don’t think they’ve ever gone after anyone either, Mazda is just Mazda. They stick to their brand image and portfolio and they know what they’re specific market wants
I am a Mazda fan for sure but I have to say….This is rare fail for Mazda USA. Not sure why the CX-60 was not just stretched out for our market and made the CX-70…This is much too large to be a sporty two rear drive CUV. The size more competes with the X7 not the X5…IMHO.
Its a CX-90 without a third row - even the price points are the same. This could have easily a trim for the CX-90....
The video was 10 minutes long I knew I didn’t have to watch it. It’s just a CX 90 without a rear seat. Lol
Looks like a Jaguar F-Pace💯
But more reliable. I got an F-Pace with and the timing chain went out at 80k. Cost me a brand new engine
I like Mazda but thinking of them as a premium brand is gonna take a while! Base starts at $42K up to $60K is not a small pill to swallow.
But those aren’t premium prices, those are Toyota Honda Kia prices.
@@MarshallJames-dh3gi Toyota and Honda have models that are cheaper than 40k to 60k. Mazda is now in the middle of the mainstream and luxury market.
First GM put tailgates on tailgates, now Mazda has hoods under hoods?
Cleaner and quieter
Needs cool big rotors and brakes...A "X" version of some sort.
Most people just want a big automobile for safty and hardly care about the rear seat.
They could have had least made it a sportback suv (x4/x6 for example) to make it somewhat different from the CX-90.
I would totlaly pick an x5 over this CX70. OVer time the Mazda is going to not only feel worn out but fit and finishes are not going to hold up. The drive in the CX90 was not engaging at all.
Nothing wrong with really, but what I wanted when I heard cx70 was something midway between a cx5/50 and a cx90 which this is not. The phev range is on the low end of being useful but at least an option. I personally don’t like the rounded rear end design at all.
Is it me or is that smedium HP for a 3.3 turbo I6?
0-60 sub 6 seconds. How fast do you want it?
@@DWK33 FASTER DAMMIT!!! you got 3.3 liters and a turbo. I was expecting at least 400hp.
It's a sharp looking car from about the front to the rear door, then the design really takes a nose dive. It begins to look more akin to a minivan with that egg d pillar shape that really screams soccer mom. It's a ton of room, but for most commutes, no one needs that much. And with the 2-3 sq ft of room underneath, is it really that much of a differentiator to call it a different model than simply buying the CX-90 and having the flexibility by putting the third row down and up? I mean the cupholders and rear leg vents are still in the CX-70. The CX-70 name plate should have been reserved for an actual different model that is actually more sporty both by design and tuning, but not just colors and fake vents...
That humo doesn’t translate in person, just wait until you see one.
I don't understand the driving embargo since it will drive EXACTLY the same as the CX90 😅
I Love Mazda interior
They didn't go with the iPad instrument cluster 🥰
Kase, your reviews are getting better. Now work on saying a sentence all the way through without all those pauses.
I was so excited for the CX70, until I saw it’s just a 3rd row delete CX90, huge swing and a miss by Mazda imo
Good review but "Brand New"? yeaahhh righhht Mazda
It is so imitated the X5. but it is good for the price. that is a question?
My major problem with this car it is that must have been a CX90 with third row delete option. They did such a lazy job that they didn’t even delete the cup holders in the trunk…
🍼🍼🍼
why delete them when you can put new inserts and make them storage bins? cuz that's what they did.
@@kvetcha storage bins for what?? Have you ever seated inside a CX90? They are useless if not as cupholders, they are too small. If the car was done on purpose they would have tried to shape a bit differently the cargo to maximize practicality. They didn’t do and this is why this car makes little sense as a standalone model. Could have been an option to tick in CX90lineup
@@ravenguard1495shhh u seem too serious 😅
I understand that the manufacturers butter your bread but this review was nothing more than a Mazda salesperson making a video. No mention of the CX-90 problems and poor sales
Wish they’d just give u a 6 without a turbo or hybrid. I’ll stick with my proven drivetrain Mazda C9.. This all new engine/trans is unproven plus has awful annoying stop/start.
No ambient lighting is a fail
I am actually glad they went this route…a CX-70 has 2 rows…a CX-90 has 3.
I own a CX-90, but I also considered a Genesis GV80. While researching it was hard to tell which model had a3d row. Now, there isn’t any confusion.
I'm so sick of auto makers sticking an iPad looking screen on the dash. That's just lazy design.
It’s for old people with failing eyesight. It’s like the old corded phones with giant buttons
I like it but to me they should've brought the 60 over instead of this.
🤩🤩🤩🤩
Stop saying Alexa! Please
Not interested anymore
CX60,70,80,90 all look the same.
Cadillac XT4 Sport wheels for their CX-70. I would still choose the XT4 over this.
Where is the spare tire.
Little doughnut ?
Yeah my BMW X5 will whoop all over this suv 😂. Not even close to my 3.4 seconds to 60……
Also not even close to the price of a BMW.
Another overgrown gas guzzling SUV.
Oh look it’s a BMW X5
With no buttons and a rotary control... I'm out. Too much of a pain to do anything while driving.
There's buttons
Big fan of the engine, but good God, the styling on these Mazdas looks incredibly dated next to the competition. The CX line's exterior styling is very 2012.
So Mazda gets rid of the third row of the CX-90, calls it the CX-70 and you say "The new benchmark"? All you UA-cam car channels simp hard.
Mazda isnt luxury and never will be
Headline: "CX-70 Is a Surprising Luxury Car"
Really? It's just a 2-row version of the CX-90, which you have reviewed multiple times... so not sure how the CX-70 is surprising. Same idea as Honda Passport vs Pilot. The CX-90 has not gone over well sales-wise, so I don't think this is going to do a whole lot better. Nice interiors for sure, but lacking in the most important aspects of a family hauler... space and ergonomics. Overpriced too.
How is this overpriced? A Lexus 350 costs 55k base. This has everything and its much larger. If you ask me the Lexus is over priced for a small suv.
@@KostaAugoustidis Because even though Mazda wants to be a luxury brand, they just aren’t. People are cross-shopping these with non-luxury brands. Mazda doesn’t even offer a standard luxury car warranty or dealership experience.
@@mattspeer01Mazda is doing what Jeep is doing with the Grand Wagoneer and trying to offer something for both mainstream and luxury buyers.
@@brokeboy87 Yeah… and the GW has been a complete flop. There are very few on the road and dealer lots are overflowing with inventory, even with $10K+ discounts on the hood.
@KostaAugoustidis you get a better infotainment in the rx, more adjustable seats and a whole bunch of other things.
Such a disappointing model- will be a total bust and discontinued- was hoping for a European cx60- around $39k-46k, not this ugly lopsided trunk $60k thing
Watching all of the reviewers treat this thing with any degree of legitimacy is so disappointing to me. This is objectively one of the stupidest product launches in the modern era of cars, and to make a video legitimizing it as a product is just asinine.
These reviewers are nothing more than salesmen being videoed. The CX-90 has a lot of problems and all the reviewers ignore the problems. They are dependent on the manufacturers inviting them to new product launches
Tried the CX-90…very uncomfortable seats….CX-70…nothing about gears…drive modes….no touch screen…no deal
