The 2026 Mazda CX-70 3.3 Turbo Preferred is ideal for drivers seeking a luxurious and sporty two-row midsize SUV with ample cargo space and confident power, who do not require a third row.
Strengths
Powerful and refined inline-six engine provides strong acceleration.
Luxurious and upscale interior with high-quality materials and a premium feel.
Generous cargo space due to the two-row configuration, offering more room than its three-row sibling.
Sporty driving dynamics and firm steering for an SUV, making it engaging to drive.
Tradeoffs
Ride quality can be firm or rough for some drivers, especially with larger wheels.
The panoramic sunroof only opens partially, which can be disappointing for some.
Some reviewers note occasional powertrain roughness or jerky transitions at lower speeds.
Infotainment touchscreen functionality is limited to when the vehicle is stopped, requiring a dial for use while driving.
What you might regret
Those who frequently need a third row or prefer a softer, more cushioned ride might regret choosing the CX-70 over its three-row sibling, the CX-90, or other competitors.
