The CX-70 is Mazda's two-row midsize SUV, with the same inline-six mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains as the three-row CX-90. The MHEV models use a 3.3-litre turbocharged inline-six with M-Hybrid Boost, rated at 280 hp and 332 lb-ft on regular fuel, with a high-output version in the GT-P. The PHEV makes 323 hp and 369 lb-ft on premium fuel, and the new SC trims are estimated at 51 km (32 mi) of electric-only driving. Every CX-70 has an eight-speed automatic and i-Activ all-wheel drive. Canadian pricing runs from $48,999 for the PHEV GS SC to $68,300 for the PHEV Signature. Prices, output and equipment on this page are from Mazda Canada; MotorMouth's review notes cover the 2025 model, so they are not used for 2026 figures.

What Canadian shoppers ask

The questions CX-70 shoppers bring to the showroom.

Drawn from 1,533 CX-70 comments posted since 2023 on the MotorMouth YouTube channel. Question themes sit apart from verified vehicle facts and help prepare a more useful test drive.

01

CX-70 or CX-90?

Space and seating come up in 235 comments, and many viewers ask how the CX-70 compares with the three-row CX-90. The CX-70 uses the same inline-six mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains as the CX-90, with two rows of seats and its own trims, from the GS-L MHEV and the PHEV GS SC up to the Signature. One viewer summed up the idea: "CX-70 is perfect for those who find CX-5/CX-50 too small, while CX-90's 7-seating configuration as too much SUV."

Take this to your test drive

If you are deciding between the two, sit in both and fold the CX-70 rear seats to see the cargo floor you would use every day.

02

Mild hybrid or plug-in hybrid?

Hybrid and plug-in power come up in 259 comments. The PHEV makes 323 hp and 369 lb-ft on premium fuel, and Mazda Canada estimates about 51 km (32 mi) of electric-only driving for the new SC trims and 43 km (27 mi) for the GT. Mazda Canada says the PHEV GS SC qualifies for federal EV incentives of up to $2,500.

Take this to your test drive

Map your daily round trip against the electric range, and price out a home charger before you choose the PHEV.

03

What does it cost?

Price and value come up in 210 comments. Mazda Canada lists the 2026 CX-70 MHEV from $49,750 for the GS-L to $62,300 for the Signature. In June 2026 it set the PHEV GS SC at $48,999, with the GS-L SC at $56,750, the GT at $61,350 and the Signature at $68,300. Freight and PDE add $2,195.

Take this to your test drive

Ask for the all-in price with freight and fees, and confirm which incentives apply to the PHEV trim you choose.

04

Which engine should I choose?

Engine and power come up in 180 comments and the transmission in 78. The GS-L and GT use the 3.3-litre inline-six at 280 hp and 332 lb-ft on regular fuel, and the GT-P adds a high-output version of the same engine. Every CX-70 uses an eight-speed automatic with i-Activ all-wheel drive and Kinematic Posture Control.

Take this to your test drive

Drive the standard and high-output engines on the same route, including stop-and-go traffic and a highway merge.

05

What tech and comfort come with it?

Interior and tech come up in 272 comments. Every 2026 CX-70 has a 12.3-inch centre display, and the GS-L MHEV includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The GT adds leather, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a head-up display, 12-speaker Bose audio and a 360-degree camera, and the Signature brings Windsor Tan Nappa leather with Grand Luxe Suede accents and a Driver Personalization System that recognizes the driver.

Take this to your test drive

Sit in a GT and a Signature to compare the seats and trim, and pair your phone on the test drive.

06

Does the design stand out?

Styling comes up in 326 comments, the most-discussed CX-70 theme. For 2026 Mazda adds black emblems and black liftgate badges, and a new Deep Crystal Blue Mica paint on the GT and GT-P, alongside colours such as Soul Red Crystal and Melting Copper Metallic.

Take this to your test drive

See it in daylight in the colour you want, and compare the 19-inch and 21-inch wheels across the trims.

07

How much fuel does it use?

Fuel economy comes up in 52 comments. Mazda Canada and Natural Resources Canada rate the GS-L MHEV at 9.9 L/100 km (24 mpg US) city, 8.4 L/100 km (28 mpg US) highway and 9.3 L/100 km (25 mpg US) combined. Natural Resources Canada rates the high-output version at 9.5 L/100 km (25 mpg US) combined, on premium fuel.

Take this to your test drive

Reset the trip computer at the start of your test drive and include some highway driving to see the figure on your own route.

08

How does it drive?

Owners who have driven one are positive about the handling. All CX-70 models have Mi-Drive modes with Sport and Off-Road settings, and the PHEV adds electric driving around town. A CX-70 PHEV owner wrote: "Handles and steers much better than it should for this size and weight."

Take this to your test drive

Take it on a road with some curves and rough pavement, and try Sport mode to feel the difference.
