The Mazda CX-70 makes an impressive debut in 2025. This elegant midsize SUV is a five-seat alternative to Mazda’s eight-seat CX-90. If you don’t need a serious people-mover, you’ll appreciate all the extra space this SUV offers drivers and passengers. Our team at John Kennedy Mazda Pottstown has put together this guide on everything you need to know about the CX-70.
A First Look at What’s New
The CX-70 is a brand-new model for Mazda, but we saw a virtually identical interior in last year’s CX-90. However, as the CX-70 has just two rows of seating rather than three, its cabin and cargo area are both more spacious. The CX-70 also has some interior trim options that help set it apart from its sibling.
The Mazda CX-70’s Luxurious and Tech-Forward Cabin
It’s not just all the extra space that helps make the Mazda CX-70 feel like a premium vehicle. All CX-70 trims come standard with genuine leather upholstery and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter. This makes the base model CX-70 feel even more luxurious than the entry-level CX-90, which uses faux leather. The Turbo Premium Plus and Turbo S Premium’s optional red nappa leather details are also exclusive to the CX-70.
Mazda also treats all CX-70 owners to a 12.3-inch infotainment system. Its generous display is much larger than many standard screens, so you can easily see directions and media information. It’s not a touchscreen — the control knob and buttons in the center console are intuitive and less distracting when you’re on the move. The i-ACTIVSENSE safety system makes the 2025 Mazda CX-70 interior even more tech-forward.
Exploring the 2025 Mazda CX-70’s Interior Features
The CX-70’s elegant, spacious interior makes a positive first impression. However, the cabin isn’t all style without substance. Take the time to explore and you’ll discover everything that makes this SUV a delight for drivers and passengers.
Innovative Comfort and Seating Arrangements
The 2025 Mazda CX-70 features a pair of supportive bucket seats up front and a generous bench seat in the back. Mazda treats you to 41.7 inches of legroom in the front and 39.4 inches of legroom in the back, ensuring even adults can ride comfortably in the rear. Every trim level gets a power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats, and a 60/40-split folding and reclining rear seat to maximize your cargo space. This seat’s innovative slide-and-tilt mechanism makes accessing your cargo a breeze. It also has two LATCH connectors and a tether anchor for car seats.
Cutting-Edge Technology and Connectivity
The Mazda CX-70 offers all the technology you need to stay informed, entertained, and safe on the road. The Mazda Connect infotainment system wirelessly connects to any device, as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard. You can also add Amazon Alexa, which offers functionality such as shopping list creation and Amazon-exclusive games. The standard eight-speaker sound system is adequate for most motorists, but if you’re a serious audiophile, the 12-speaker Bose stereo included in the Turbo Premium trim and above is a real treat.
Spaciousness and Cargo Solutions
The Mazda CX-70 has an enormous cargo area that offers all the room you need for school runs, shopping sprees, and road trips. When you’re on the move, you’ll appreciate the clever underfloor storage compartment in the back, which is perfect for stashing your first aid kit and other travel essentials. It’s removable for easy loading, unloading, and cleaning. You’ll also find storage solutions throughout the CX-70’s cabin, including bottle holders in the front and back, an overhead console with a sunglasses holder, and deep pockets on the backs of the front seats.
Cargo Capacity: Practicality Meets Versatility
The Mazda CX-70 boasts 39.6 cubic feet of cargo space with all seats in place and a whopping 75.3 cubic feet when you fold the rear seats flat. You can choose to fold both sides of the rear down or just one when you’re carrying long items such as golf clubs or suitcases. This freedom makes the CX-70’s cargo area versatile enough to handle your daily routine and special occasions.
Focus on Design and Aesthetics
The leather upholstery at all trim levels gives the Mazda CX-70 interior a refinement we don’t usually see at this price point. There are different color options for different trims, including classic black, classy griege, and sporty red. Matching the upholstery color with the dash and door details enhances the cabin’s good looks.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features Tailored to the Interior
Many of this SUV’s safety and driver-assistance features are tailored to the CX-70 interior, starting with the courtesy lights, which help you move safely from the cabin to the street when night falls. Front courtesy lights are standard, and the Turbo Premium trims and higher get rear lights too. The CX-70 also has seatbelt pretensioners and various airbags to keep you and your loved ones safe if an accident occurs. Standard driver-assistance features, including a rearview monitor, rear cross-traffic alert, and parking sensors, help reduce your risk.
How Does the CX-70 Stand Out in Its Class?
The CX-70 stands out in its class for its spacious and stylish design. Its cargo area beats most in the midsize SUV segment, and it offers a little more legroom than most of its competitors. Using leather at all trim levels makes even the entry-level Turbo Preferred model look and feel more luxurious than most comparatively priced vehicles.
