These prices line up exactly with the CX-90's. On the one hand, it's not a huge surprise considering the CX-70 and CX-90 appear to be identical cars, just with a different seating configuration and minor cosmetic changes. While the CX-70 lacks a third row, it has cavernous cargo area that lifts up to reveal additional storage beneath the floor. On the other hand, the identical pricing gives little incentive to go for the CX-70, since customers would presumably pay more for a third row. The CX-70 offers fewer trim levels than the 2024 CX-90. On the CX-70, Mazda has done away with the Turbo Select, Turbo Preferred Plus, plain Turbo S, and PHEV Preferred trims. Technically, that means you can get a CX-90 for less if you choose the Turbo Select, which begins at $39,220, at least for the remainder of the 2024 model year. Read between the lines and you can probably guess where the 2025 CX-90 trims will be headed. Along with the pricing, Mazda has announced the color palette for the CX-70, which includes a new premium color called Melting Copper Metallic. We have yet to drive the CX-70, but expect it to be a brilliant performer like the CX-90. The CX-70 might not be the smaller, lighter vehicle we were hoping for, but that makes the desire for a straight-six sedan built on Mazda's RWD platform even stronger.
