Like many others have said, this is simply a CX-90 with a different trim. Major fail on Mazda's part. They could have designed something with a size between the 50 and 90 while pushing the "lux" factor a bit more, yet we're looking at the same design and feel as every other Mazda SUV. A midsize 2-row SUV should not be a long as a minivan.

Mazda dropped the ball! They should have introduce an SUV like the Cx-60 in Europe and Australia. Instead they decided to try to fool us with basically the same exact car without the third row!! What a joke!

What's to compare? It's the same car. It's the CX-90 with 3rd row delete. This is disappointing. What is Mazda doing? I was hoping for the Euro CX-60, The 90 is nice, but is too big for me.

I've watched nearly all the CX-70 YT reviews today because i've been waiting anxiously for this release, and your vid was the best. You hit all the points I was looking for and very eloquently so! Totally agree that they need to nail the pricing and make it significantly cheaper than the CX-90 otherwise there's no reason to buy.

Couldn't agree with you more. The CX70 has to be priced right to have a realistic shot at success!

I think this is a pretty good move. I noticed a lot of CX90 buyers are empty-nesters. They don't really need 7 seats. Neither does my small family. But, I like the room. I agree with Clint that the key is to undercut the CX90 significantly, while leaving that car to people who actually need 3 rows more than a small fraction of the time. $5-7K less at the top end would make this very attractive to me. As for the comments about marketing here, with repect, most people do not know or care about the lineage. They have no "purist's conception" of what a CX70 should look like. They will see this, conclude that it looks SWEET, and that's about it. Thanks for the review!

35k and im in. The cx90 is 50-60k after you add anything to it. They really had no marginal progression to Luxury car prices and im sure the paint job is still standard thickness

Fail for me. Own a CX-5. Wanted something slightly larger but not as large as the CX-90 since sliding that into my garage is too tight. Hard to have enough room to walk around the car and be able to open the trunk with the garage closed (2022 X5 I tested was barely doable with it's split tailgate and it's 6" shorter..) The CX5 is my 3rd Mazda but sadly the replacement won't be another Mazda. CX5 is 180", CX70/90 is 200". If only they had chopped of about 8-10" off the car we would have had a winner.

3rd row takes up a lot of space and some weight. If they give that back in cargo and payload capacity in CX70, or full-size spare, the 70 is compelling.

You’re right about the pricing, but another reviewer said that the CX70 will only have higher trims, meaning that it will be more expensive than the starting price for a CX90. Personally, I have yet to hear a reviewer mention whether or not the 2nd row on the 70 is further back than the one in the CX90. Without the 3rd row, it would make sense that the 2nd row of the CX70 would be further back than that on the CX90…which should also provide more legroom for the front row seats to travel further back as well. As far as the design, I’m happy they kept the size and space of the CX90, but I think without the 3rd row they could’ve redesigned the rear hatch a little bit to make it a bit sportier and less like it’s got a bubble butt.

I've never been a big fan of Mazda designs, but I have to say that from a styling standpoint, this is absolutely gorgeous inside and out!

I’m very much interested in this vehicle. I want the extra room in the rear seats. Love the look/ design of the front interior. Beautiful car. Will only buy for the right price.

There's definitely a way to get the touchscreen to work - I have it working in my CX50 but I don't remember how I got it done 🤣 the factory settings just have it disabled, I promise

I hope not. One of the most annoying features they have come up with.

I'd like some facts/figures behind the statement that with the third row folded, the CX-90 and CX-70 have the same cargo capacity. Those teeny tiny 3rd rows that they jam into SUVs actually take up a large degree of cargo space when folded. Of course, Mazda is infamous for relatively cramped cargo and passenger areas in compared to their competition, so it wouldn't surprise me if they somehow figured out a way to keep the same amount of cargo space in the 70 despite it missing two whole seats from the 90.

love this! this will be a GREAT Alternative to the EURO counterparts! I hope the RELIABILITY is up to PAR to JDM standards! that inline 6 is VERY INTRIGUING!

This is such a HUGE disappointment. It's a CX-90 ! IT. IS. A. CX. 90. I don't care what Mazda"s marketing says. And I don't agree with you that they now have a "full lineup". It's the opposite. They left a gaping hole between the -50 and the -90. We were all expecting the CX-70 to be smaller, based on the same RWD, inline-6 platform. This CX-5 owner was hoping to replace it with the CX-70. But I am not interested in a CX-90-sized vehicle.

Wow! Stunning 😮

A really odd marketing move, but it's almost exactly what I want, a CX-90 without the third row I will never use, and hopefully with a bit of a break on the price. If it had a torque-converter automatic I would snap one up on day one. With the DCT, if that's what it is, I need to wait and get a feel for the drivability and durability.

Also really really happy they are not going to a touch screen. They are more distracting for drivers even if most either won't admit it or don't care. I think in time we will see massive touch screens coming out to vehicles as people are already starting to complain about the lack of simple straight forward knobs and switches.

Us tall people dont like touch screens because I have the seats all the way back and reclined where I cant easily reach a touch screen and the controller is much easier in most cases.

Mazda seems to be pulling a Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer trick here. It appears some luxury features (along with the 3rd row) will be reserved for the CX90. For the 70 to succeed, it had better be priced at least 5k cheaper than the 90 for comparable trim levels.

Would have been nice if you told us how tall you are so we can get a better feel of how much room there is.

What’s the difference between the Honda pilot and Honda passport?Same concept just one third row and the other second row

0:16 hey I got it! it was a guess, but the rear window was the clue.

Brilliant Idea if the second row is much more spacious with reclining option. It is also great for camping with second row seat down I can sleep on a wide and long flat surface.

The size of the CX-50 is standing in the way. Same as it's standing in the way of potentially increasing the size of the CX-5! The CX-30 is way too small as well.

The lack of a touchscreen is the BEST part about Mazda's infotainment system. It's so much more intuitive and less distracting than all of the clunky touchscreen units you find in competitors like Subaru. I will never understand why motoring "journalists" keep dinging Mazda on something they should be commended for.

Actually I really like the CX 70 over the CX 90. I have no need of a third row that is pretty much too small for adults. I don't have kids or grandkids so the third row is redundant 99.9% of the time. I will take the extra cargo space even if it is underneath and I like the totally flat load floor up to the back seats. And I am really happy they didn't make it any smaller. I want the huge cargo space and lots of leg room in the back seat and reclining back seats.

I'm sold on the storm trooper look......

Being the same length why not just get the cx90 and fold down 3rd when not needed. I also think it looks a bit better especially in that deep red.

What a let down. Waited another year for, you guessed it cx 90 without the 3rd row seats. Mazda should have brought the cx -60 here. Would have made a lot more sense. Meanwhile, the cx5 needs a complete makeover. Questioning the executives at Mazda.

The Cx-60 (or name it something else) should replace the CX-5 or the new CX-5 should be redesigned with the CX-60 proportions. It's perfect!

The car is quite smooth looking in design except the rear side window design. I prefer the flow of the cx5. The rear window curves up vs the window curving down to a point.

I like the scroll wheel for the infotainment screen. Reaching for the scroll wheel is easier than reaching for the screen.

Well, Mazda has created a from scratch platform with a bespoke powertrain, so if they want to throw out a few variations as different models. I say, "Bring 'em on!" The quality is already baked in.

Don't need 3 rows. It's lighter, likely quicker and handles better as a result and costs less. Sounds like a great recipe.

Yep. I think they are making a huge mistake in going for the luxury market. Major mistake. A Mazda is simply not the same as a Lexus or Audi but they want to command a smilar price. The build quality is simply not there. Customers don't see it yet due to the nice interior but they probably will. They may become bitter and complain. They should have just stuck with beating Honda and destroying them. They could have by beating them on price while providing more features. I think the CEO made a big mistake.

These are some major problems with Mazda's cars. PRICE The price on Mazda's has gone insane. I remember when the CX-90 was $30k 3 years ago. The price on Mazdas have skyrocketed (more than just due to COVID). The price increase stems from Mazda's management's decision to pivot towards the luxury market (BMW, Mercedes, Lexus). But the entire appeal of Mazda's was it's competitive price over Honda's. ENGINE SOUND When you're inside the car, it's loud and the interior shakes due to the engine. This is both the CX-50 and the CX-90. (I have one and test-drove the other.) SPACE Even though the CX-50's exterior is bigger than the Honda, the interior is actually smaller! How is that possible? Poor design and engineering? 😃 SMOOTHNESS Although the interior looks nice, the drive is very hard. This is due to Mazda's management. They are trying to capture every market even though if it doesn't make sense. They want to get the young sports car market so they got large rims with a turbo engine. But they also want to get the older, upscale-luxury market. The two don't mix. I don't know what Mazda's management was thinking. I don't know who's running things at Mazda but they need to get a new CEO.

Why do people say the mx30 didnt go well? It was a compliance car to meet California regulations to have an EV until the real EV (CX90 phev) came out.

I like it, own a seven seat now and have used the rear seat once in 6 years. What I don’t like are your silly cutaways. Just stop.

5:15 completely disagree. The touchscreens don't work in sportier cars.

Current CX5 owner here. I was hoping for a 'Goldilocks' between the CX5 and CX-90. I mean, seriously, some tiny styling tweaks and removal of the 3rd row. Less utility for a new model is ONE OF THE LAZIEST UNVEILINGS EVER! The CX90 is 200.8 inches long. The CX5 is 180 inches. The CX70 should have been 190 inches to fill in the gap. Either the engineering team is lazy, or the planning/marketing team is supremely incompetent/ignorant. Mazda dropped the ball here.

that the whole industry moves towards touchscreen does not necessarily means it is the way to go contrary to Mazda's dial clicker. Car reviewers are also not capable of telling me long / term and wear and tear problems of cars. Once we figure out that using a touchscreen in the car gives the same distraction as a phone and we all kinda looked the other way on that one, we will see touch dials and buttons coming back, since they can be operated blindly after routine kicks in, a touchscreen will always force you to move your eyes from traffic to navigate your fingers and then read the menu.

And I was thinking they would realize their mistakes in the cx90 and doubled the battery range to correct it? 🤔 Apparently not? I see no reason to buy this second mistake.

I can only see this cross shopped with an XM.

wait, that's not a cx-90....I really don't need the 3rd row, so the '70 is perfect. the '50 isn't bad, but after the CX-5, the Mrs wants bigger, but no 3rd row.......

If the two cars are very close in price, why would you buy the CX-70? The CX-90 has a third row, and if you don't want to use it, simply fold it. Anyway, it's still a good-looking SUV.

Why on earth would you want such a big car WITHOUT a third row? If I was buying then I’d get a third row as an option at least. They really couldn’t do anything more? Bring the CX60! Nobody needs a car this big without a third row.

So if you fold down the third row seats in the cx90 you basically have a cx70? WTH

This is interesting. To all those saying its a cx90, it is very much so but with more room in the cabin and better fuel economy/handling and towing due to less weight on the rear axle and overall lower curb weight. This could be a banger if enough people try them out. I also love the idea of no touchscreen, we had an Audi with that knob and it worked flawlessly, no fingerprint smudges and it worked well in the cold days on cold starts. Love how they market the powertrain on their website on the first page rather than apple carplay and android auto, without a hint on the powertrain which is significantly more important. You can always replace the infotainment system later on if needed, not so much on the drivetrain. RWD biased I6 turbo with a mild hybrid system, what a combo. Cant wait to drive one. ***Now that its available in Canada, the 70 is 4k more than the base 90, also once you reach the high output versions (340hp) the 70 requires 93 octance where as its not stated on the 90, so long story short, this is not the homerun I was hoping for, the pricing is the other way around for less features. The 70 can tow 1500lbs more.***

Edmund’s at least it’s way better than the mediocre Japanese brands except Honda or Acura

You don’t think it’s better than a Honda or Acura?

@@ALMX5DP this is better than Honda or Acura but those two try hard to compete with Mazda and it’s obvious in how the civic CRV MDX RDX are well executed. Why else are the civic and Mazda3 top choices? because Honda is the only Japanese brand truly capable of competing and executing to perfection

@@naveenthemachine I test drove both the Mazda 3 and the Civic this past weekend. Totally preferred the Honda and it was a better value!

I drove a CX-30 this weekend and was not impressed. Very buzzy engine off the line around town. Much better on the highway. The cabin was very cramped and the backseat beyond ridiculously tight! The CX-5 was much better off the line, even with less horsepower than the CX-30. I assume this was the result of different tuning. Seating position way better as well. I felt like I was sunk down too low in the 30. That being said, I am not sure of the attraction to Mazda and it's range of vehicles. Some nice interiors, but nowhere near luxury as other KZreadrs have claimed. The engines are just meh! They need turbos or faster hybrid engines. Also, Mazda needs to consolidate and simply their trim levels. Way too many!

Why the fuck there is a 3rd-row cup holder, that's just ridiculous

It's the CX-90 as a TRIM LEVEL - nothing new to see here folks w/ two rows... MAZDA got lazy and deceptive - customers will instantly point out its the same, their target is the same - it is like Toyota coming out with a 4 runner with 3 rows and calling it the 5runner... people have been looking forward to a smaller SUV, aka cx-60 not everyone wants to drive around a boat. So, simple to bring the CX-60 here, give the CX-90 a two row trim level and still target more of it's audience.

If you like the CX-90 but don’t need the 3rd row then this is the holy grail. Personally I’d take this over the CX5 and CX50

Jesus Christ there's a whole lot of gnashing and snarling in the comments. Take it easy folks 😂

They better price it at 30k

😊👍🏻 🚗

Mazda like many car companies is stupid. They act like they r upscale but nah.

Why would anyone buy this over cx 90, rear seats can be stowed away in cx90, can't add them to cx70.

Mazda ruined this. The CX-60 looked amazing! The rear end of the 70/90 looks funny. Looks like I will be going with the Honda CR-V now.

I have a 2018 Mazda Cx-5 and still love it. The CX-70's face is really nice but a bit too big for me. Maybe the the new CX-5 is to wait for.

Yup, Mazda certainly died on that infotainment hill for many prospective buyers like me.

At least your intro made me laugh. What a disappointment this is. Cx 90 without a 3rd row. Mazda should have sized to the cx60,
