Mazda has finally unveiled the CX-70, an SUV destined for the North American market, but with all the arguments to succeed in the European market, which is increasingly fond of this type of vehicle.
Produced in and for North America, with the US and Canadian markets at the forefront, the CX-70 is built on Mazda’s large platform and features a range of engines composed of the 3.3-liter, six-cylinder e-Skyactiv G turbo engine with M-Hybrid Boost technology, and the 2.5-liter e-Skyactiv G PHEV engine, with power outputs of 284 and 345 hp for the 48-volt mild hybrid variant, and 328 hp and 500 Nm for the plug-in hybrid version. Mazda has not revealed details about the battery or the electric range of the plug-in version.
Aesthetically, the new CX-70 features Kodo design, presenting a natural and athletic stance with sporty and modern touches, and a distinctive look highlighted by the sculpted front section. Mazda emphasized its dynamic appearance with contrasting black details and 21-inch wheels with a black metallic/machined finish.
The interior is marked by premium finishes, with a focus on Nappa leather in wine color, with eco stitching inspired by the “100th Anniversary” Special Edition of the Mazda MX-5.
In addition, the remotely foldable rear seats facilitate loading operations in an optimized rear cargo area with storage compartments.
Equipped with a wide range of driving aids and driver assistance systems, the CX-70 introduces the Alexa platform to voice control functions such as changing temperature or radio station.
Mazda has announced that the new CX-70 will arrive in the US and Canadian markets in the Spring.
