The 2024 Mazda CX-70 is Mazda’s foray into the two-row mid-size SUV segment, which is currently dominated by the likes of the Toyota Highlander, the Honda Pilot, and the Ford Explorer. But Mazda is not here to play by the rules. They are here to challenge the status quo with their signature human-centric philosophy, their KODO or “Soul of Motion” design concept, and their advanced hybrid technology. The CX-70 is not just another SUV. It’s a passion pursuer.

So, what makes the CX-70 so special? Well, for starters, it rides on a new platform that features a longitudinal engine layout, which enables both rear- and all-wheel drive. This layout aims to provide handling, performance, and refinement more akin to luxury SUVs from BMW and Mercedes when compared with mainstream SUVs, which utilize front-drive-based transverse-engine platforms. It also enables the designers to give the CX-70 the dash-to-front-axle proportions of the expensive rear-drive luxury sedans and SUVs. The result is a sleek and sporty exterior that looks like nothing else on the road.
