Performance Features
The 2025 Mazda CX-70 distinguishes itself with its exceptional driving performance. Its rear-wheel-drive setup ensures excellent handling and uniform weight distribution. The Kinematic Posture Control system significantly enhances cornering by gently applying the brakes to the inner rear wheel when turning, reducing body roll and improving steering responsiveness.
Mazda’s Mi-Drive modes allow you to customize your driving experience. You can select between Normal, Sport, Off-Road, and Towing settings. The optional 21-inch wheels with high-grip tires not only look impressive but also contribute to the Turbo S models’ swift acceleration, propelling them from zero to 60 mph in approximately 5.9 to 6.0 seconds. This puts the CX-70 in the same league as the fastest SUVs available.
Advanced Performance Technologies
The CX-70’s cutting-edge performance technology will significantly enhance your driving experience. Its i-ACTIV AWD system acts as a smart traction manager, monitoring your wheels and adjusting power as necessary. This system works with G-Vectoring Control Plus, which refines the engine output and braking for smoother turns and better control. This system achieves remarkable accuracy.
The SKYACTIV system facilitates excellent handling and ride quality. Electric power-assisted steering changes with your speed, giving you precise control in different driving situations. Some models have a special suspension that changes dynamically, providing the ideal combination of comfort and sportiness.
Exemplary Mazda Performance

The responsive steering creates an immediate connection to the road without becoming overly sensitive, while the SUV’s remarkable cornering ability keeps it level and steady, even in demanding conditions.
The Turbo S trim is perfect if you crave excitement. Compared to its luxury rivals, the Turbo S accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 5.6 to 6.0 seconds and covers a quarter mile in about 14.3 to 15.4 seconds. These figures make it comparable to established brands such as the BMW X5 and Lexus RX.
