The new Mazda CX-70 Design Preview

Mazda announced the third member in its sophisticated Large Product Group, the new CX-70 – a dynamic crossover SUV expertly blending driving pleasure and performance with ample cargo space, exceptional usability and a sporty design that embraces and expresses the active lifestyles of its customers.

The wide-body two-row SUV will make its debut in Australia with the widely acclaimed 3.3-litre turbocharged e-Skyactiv inline six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines, both incorporating 48V mild hybrid technology. Already available in the CX-90, these powertrains take advantage of a Mazda-developed eight-speed transmission and the surety and involvement of rear-biased all-wheel drive.

This ‘multi-solution’ approach of combining and optimising a higher-output engine with electric drive delivers enhanced performance and efficiency, contributes to the signature Mazda feeling of Jinba Ittai, and is commensurate with the “Passion Pursuer” concept at the heart of the vehicle’s development.

Commenting on the introduction of this key model, Vinesh Bhindi, Managing Director of Mazda Australia, said: “As we continue to advance our product range with a host of cutting-edge products, the Mazda CX-70 represents yet another milestone for our brand – offering the hallmarks of the now well-established Mazda Premium philosophy that shines brightly in the CX-60 and CX-90, but with a distinct focus on pursuing an active and fulfilling lifestyle.
