@@JY__L This is my 2nd Mazda, after a 2015 CX-5 Sport 2.0L w/6-spd M/T (from Miata), which was getting 35.5 highway mpg. CX-5 is still the best compact crossover; now the CX-70/90 twins are the best in midsize (IMHO). We Mazda fanboys are just insufferable, aren’t we?!?
Seriously, I just don't understand why this exists. Why create an entirely separate model for what is simply a 2-row CX-90!?? it makes absolutely no sense to me. Why not just offer a version of the CX-90 with just 2 rows?? Or, offer the CX-60 here in the U.S. for people like me who want a 2-row, but don't want or need something as big as the 90? Bizarre thinking on Mazda's part.
Best car reviewer enjoy watching your car reviews Sofyan Mazdas are so fun to drive more sporty driving than the mainstream competition still wonder how this fits in the linup with the 2 row cx 50 that Mazda already makes hopefully a cx50 phev is in the works for 2025 or 2026
Having that inline 6 in a car the size of the ( X3 M40 / Jaguar F Pace S ) for $15k less would be amazing - I'm still holding out hope. But the CX-70 is just too big, that 122" wheelbase is as long a compact pickup trucks and you can feel it in parking lots and other tight areas.
The CX60 was never designed for the North American market. It was designed for diesels and plug-in hybrid powertrains with European, Japanese, and Australian tastes in mind. It starts at the equivalent of $59,000 USD in the UK at current exchange rates. That's beyond base X3/GLC/Q5 pricing, that's any of those options nicely equipped kind of money. Plus, Mazda does not have the same brand cache as BMW, Mercedes, or Audi, especially in the U.S. CX-60 is also more expensive than CX-70 in most trims, with way less space for both people and their luggage. Switching gears to the regulatory and manufacturing side of things, the platform would have to both crash and emissions certified, and it would have to be homologated for the U.S. market, meaning new headlight/taillight designs, it'd potentially require different impact points for pedestrian and vehicle-to-vehicle crash safety, and it would need its powertrains re-certified by the EPA to be sold here. All of that is an exceedingly expensive endeavor for both a car company that's not exactly flush with cash and a product that isn't guaranteed to sell well.
Even as a huge Mazda fan (I own a CX-3, my personal go-kart to daily drive), I really don't see how the CX-70 will sell when the CX-90 barely costs more and has a third row that can be folded and used for emergency situations. For a company that is known to innovate, I hate to see them do the very bare minimum to create another SUV that doesn't mert its intended criteria.
The ONLY advantage is that you get a second row bench on every trim of the CX70. Handy if you want to carry 3 across with stuff in the back or if you wanna haul around a large dog. Mandatory captains chairs on higher trims of the CX90 are such a stupid idea.
It’s perfect for people who don’t want or need a 7 row family SUV but still want the power. Lots of 2 row SUVs have 4 cylinder engines in them. I’m considering buying this myself.
@@Francisco-po1cf try a Honda Passport too. Little dated inside but slightly quicker and about $15k cheaper. Or a CPO X5, that would smoke this and is much nicer overall.
I honestly feel that the CX-70 makes sense. I remember I was considering the Genesis GV80 and it was challenging to determine if it was a 3 row or 2 row when internet shopping. With the Mazda the CX-70 is a 2 row and the CX-90 is a 3 row which makes shopping a lot easier.
This car just looks so much better than the Germans and Japanese outside of the Acura MDX in type S form. Gotta give credit to Mazda. Aint as luxurious but realistically is more than enough. Luxury companies are just becoming a lot of excess that youll only have 30-90min of your day to barely use. Like why would i need a 50 inch theatre in my car when im driving and can have a 75" 4k at home for $600...
@@67keyakaren68 wrong. Saying genesis is a fancy Hyundai / Kia is very different vs saying “the gv80 is a gussied up Santa Fe / sorento” which is clearly not true. Because the gv80 uses its own EXCLUSIVE RWD platform.
I’m almost 100% going to be getting a PHEV for my next car, but any option that’s less than 30miles on electric is an automatic non starter. Given how much more expensive they are in comparison to ICE options and some EVs a minimum of 30 seems to be a must. At least in my opinion.
you might complain about the native infottainment but i think it's what we need in 2024 instead of baking everything behind touch based menus. that and i think having a real transmission in a phev situation is eons better than having a boring ass cvt in a regular hybrid or phev

@@67keyakaren68 MDX Type S has the SH AWD and looks just as good as CX90. More luxurious too. But this is still really good and better than almost everything in its class
I agree that the red Nappa int. leather looks FAR better with Rhodium White paint than with the Melting Copper Metallic, which I had to special order to get with Greige (not Nappa) int. leather. I disagree that Toyota’s single-gear reduction system (a CVT) makes it seem “more refined” than Mazda’s wet multiplate A/T which rows through the 8 speeds, even in all-electric mode.

I think Mazda gas created a columdrum by producing this CX-70 vs. the CX-90. IMHO, Mazda should have offered a comparably sized CX-60 produced in Europe and Australia in tthe US/Canaada, for the 2 row SUV enthusiasts. Use this Powertrain in a slightly smaller vehicle with even better MPGs.

I would test drive each as many reviews seem to indicate that the 25 CX-70 drives and handles slightly better than the CX-90. If I have this correct, If the battery is drained, (does the battery charge with Brake Regeneration system or must it be Plugged in to charge?) the CX runs only on the gas engine without any electyric Boost?
The CX-60 would not sell better than the 5. People who buy the 5 aren’t interested in having a 6 cylinder engine that’s less fuel efficient and more expensive.
@@mikebor11 compared to the high output cx-5 yes but the standard engine, which is the far popular option gets 26/31. That inline 6 in the 60 would make it far too expensive to replace the 5. People prefer the 5 over the 50 that’s why it still outsells it almost 4 to 1.
Americans are so susceptible to marketing. Car companies want people to think their cars are next year's model, as if the consumer is getting something so new it's actually from next year. However if the car was built in 2024, and you can buy it in 2024, then it is a 2024 model. The rest of the world doesn't pretend this year's car is somehow next year's model.
12:02 I agree 100%!!! People still defending that dated system is a perfect example of cognitive dissonance. The mere fact that Mazda allowed touch screen during car play/android auto is them saying they were WRONG all along and every fanboys should follow suit.
Lack of touch screen for Mazda interface is a big miss. The interior kinda looks dated. 26 miles on ev only is not that practical. 40 miles should be the norm. In my case, I probably wouldn't get gas for weeks if I could get 40 miles out of the battery.
No matter what when it comes to a newly designed PHEV , either a CX-70 /90, it seems that it is too much into its Infancy. Too many "Bugs" that will need to be addressed (Checkout the on Line Forums). And these batteries are not really Time tested. Don't want to be a Guinea Pig. I woould probably opt for the Premium Plus Turbo S model.
Both the CX-70 and CX-90 have very cramp cargo room compared to midsize vehicles like the traverse or Grand Highlander or Volkswagen Atlas those two models from Mazda only offer 75 ft cubic feet with the seats down
Mazda doesn’t care about being the biggest in the segment, they focus on driving dynamics and premium interiors. Not everything has to be as big as the grand highlander and traverse.
The cx70 is sportier looking with a different front and black trim. Plus the poly Grey with red interior is better looking than any cx90 combination. My self I don't need a 3rd row but like a big car with interior space a just got a cx70 two months ago. The vehicles had had before were cx9s but I never used the 3rd row. I applaud Mazda for making this vehicle a full size SUV with out a 3rd row look how many grand Cherokee are being sold
It's nice but it won't sell well! 1. It's a Mazda, 2. No touchscreen? in 2025? It just looks off design wise! They should've just brought the Mazda cx60 over here! This is just the cx90 without the 3rd row it looks too big for a midsize or compact SUV! This will never compare to a BMW, Mercedes or Audi or even a Volvo. Also I dislike the turn signals, they look broken similar to the new BMWs. They should have just moved the 2nd row seats back a bit for more leg room. This is way too big in general!
Nice but unimaginative will make Mazda money no doubt which i imagine is the only point to this. Underpowered and the 2nd Row for being the only row does not impress as it should to make sense of this as a kind of *"limo option."* Verdict: best news ever for Cadillac rolls on😊
Im a fan of this PHEV, but the i6 CX90 and CX70 are too slow for the price. I think the transmission is mostly to blame on those ones. A base honda passport is $40k has 280 hp and does 0-60 in 6.0 seconds, a CX70 turbo S is $55k has 340 hp and does 0-60 in 6.5 seconds. The math aint mathin…
The passport isn’t even in the same class though. The cx70+90 are 11 inches longer than the passport. Most people shopping in this segment are perfectly fine with a 7-8 second 0-60.
Mazda is not going to redo the interior just for you to have the infotainment closer. It’s a subjective issue. Every Mazda video you say the same thing. Give it a rest

The cx70 is sportier looking with a different front and black trim. Plus the poly Grey with red interior is better looking than any cx90 combination. My self I don't need a 3rd row but like a big car with interior space a just got a cx70 two months ago. The vehicles had had before were cx9s but I never used the 3rd row. I applaud Mazda for making this vehicle a full size SUV with out a 3rd row look how many grand Cherokee are being sold
what is with these massive key fobs?
Ok 26? Ok so in hybrid what’s the mpg? Like if you were to drive about an hour to work what would the mpg be? Only 26?
35-38mpg with your commute. I’m getting 43 with a shorter commute.
@@bobreno4042 thank you
$60k? WTF get a Lexus PHEV for $60 with top trim with more range still no touch screen. Terrible
Could you put the cameras on the instrument cluster / driver pov so we can see that instead of you? No offense but we don't need to see you
All they had to do was shorten this a foot and they would have had my money. Laziness.
It's nice but it won't sell well! 1. It's a Mazda, 2. No touchscreen? in 2025? It just looks off design wise! They should've just brought the Mazda cx60 over here! This is just the cx90 without the 3rd row it looks too big for a midsize or compact SUV! This will never compare to a BMW, Mercedes or Audi or even a Volvo. Also I dislike the turn signals, they look broken similar to the new BMWs. They should have just moved the 2nd row seats back a bit for more leg room. This is way too big in general!
I don’t like the styling, it should have been a more sleek look than the 90.
Nice but unimaginative will make Mazda money no doubt which i imagine is the only point to this. Underpowered and the 2nd Row for being the only row does not impress as it should to make sense of this as a kind of *"limo option."* Verdict: best news ever for Cadillac rolls on😊
That infotainment is looking quite dated

Im a fan of this PHEV, but the i6 CX90 and CX70 are too slow for the price. I think the transmission is mostly to blame on those ones. A base honda passport is $40k has 280 hp and does 0-60 in 6.0 seconds, a CX70 turbo S is $55k has 340 hp and does 0-60 in 6.5 seconds. The math aint mathin…
The passport isn’t even in the same class though. The cx70+90 are 11 inches longer than the passport. Most people shopping in this segment are perfectly fine with a 7-8 second 0-60.
@@kmahal711despite the dimensions, both are large 2 row only crossovers. People will cross shop Honda and Mazda all day…
@@jakes5530I think Honda Passport has more cargo space despite about 10 inches shorter.
@@blackwhirlwind1245 yup exactly, packaging is key. Like I said both are large 2 row crossovers, prospective customers will likely cross shop
Not a touch screen, i think i will pass.
Buy a CX90 with bench seats.
Let’s make it look like a BMW 😂

Mazda is not going to redo the interior just for you to have the infotainment closer. It’s a subjective issue. Every Mazda video you say the same thing. Give it a rest
There is no point of this vehicle!! Just buy the CX90 and fold down the 3rd row and call ot a day
You can't get a bench seat in a 90 smart guy so no you can't call it a day
@smok3sho587 you sure can get bench seats in a 90. Just not on top trim.
I get the impression that in general you tend to call it a day. Right chuckles 🤡?
Nice but expensive
Disappointment at its best
