The 2026 Mazda CX-70 is a two-row, midsize SUV built for drivers who want premium design, confident capability, and intuitive technology in one rewarding package. From a research and buying-guide perspective, what stands out most is how thoroughly Mazda sharpened this model for 2026. Standard i-Activ AWD pairs with a rear-biased platform to deliver exceptional balance in daily driving, while electrified powertrains expand your options. You can choose from two e-SKYACTIV G 3.3L Inline 6 Turbo variants with M-Hybrid Boost or an e-SKYACTIV PHEV with a meaningful all-electric range. Inside, thoughtful storage solutions and a driver-first cockpit make errands, commutes, and road trips easier. For shoppers browsing from Elgin and the greater Chicago suburbs, the CX-70’s blend of responsive handling, upscale finishes, and practical versatility is a compelling fit for everything from Randall Road runs to I-90 drives.
Mazda tunes the CX-70 to feel poised and engaging no matter which powertrain you pick. Both e-SKYACTIV G 3.3L Inline 6 Turbo engines deliver smooth, refined power through an 8-speed automatic transmission, and every CX-70 includes standard i-Activ AWD, Kinematic Posture Control, and Mi-Drive modes. Selectable Sport and Off-Road modes come standard, with Towing mode available on select trims to unlock up to 5,000 pounds of towing when equipped with Mazda Genuine Towing Accessories. If you want seamless electric driving for short trips, the e-SKYACTIV PHEV now offers an EPA-estimated 30 miles of EV range, and retains confident acceleration with a robust combined output. On the road, the CX-70 feels composed and agile—exactly what shoppers expect from Mazda—while cargo-friendly features in the rear make loading gear simple and secure.
The CX-70’s cabin feels premium the moment you open the door. Soft-touch materials, available Nappa leather in rich hues, and elegant lighting create an upscale atmosphere without sacrificing daily utility. A wide 12.3-inch center display anchors Mazda Connect, with touch functionality enabled while using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Alexa Built-in streamlines everyday tasks—from adding to your list to setting reminders—using simple voice prompts. Thoughtful touches like retractable rear sunshades, available hands-free power liftgate, and an optimized cargo bay with hidden sub-trunk show how thoroughly Mazda considered real-world needs. Whether you prefer a tech-forward setup with a digital driver display, or a serene space for quiet commuting, the CX-70 delivers comfort and control you can feel.
Every CX-70 comes with an extensive i-Activsense safety suite, designed to support attentive driving and add meaningful confidence in crowded streets and on fast-moving highways. Available features like Cruising & Traffic Support help ease stop-and-go fatigue, while the 360° View Monitor with See-Through View and Trailer Hitch View simplifies parking and hitch alignment. With active braking assistance, blind spot alerts, lane guidance, and intelligent traffic sign recognition available across the lineup, the CX-70 layers technology where it matters most.
