The 2025 Mazda CX-70 has officially arrived in Australia, offering a luxurious, five-seat SUV that blends Mazda’s signature design with advanced technology and impressive powertrains. This new model, positioned between the CX-60 and CX-90, presents a premium alternative for those who don’t need a third row but still desire space, style, and cutting-edge features.
Pricing and Variants
Available in two high-spec variants, the CX-70 GT and Azami, the SUV offers both petrol and diesel engine options. Pricing starts at $75,970 before on-road costs for the petrol-powered G50e GT. The D50e GT diesel version is priced at $77,970, while the top-tier Azami variants come in at $82,970 for petrol and $84,970 for diesel.
Despite the premium features and impressive design, the CX-70 comes in cheaper than its larger sibling, the CX-90, offering a more affordable entry point into Mazda’s luxury SUV range.
Exterior and Design
The CX-70 boasts a striking exterior that aligns with Mazda’s Kodo design philosophy. Its bold front grille, sleek LED headlights, and large 21-inch alloy wheels give the SUV a commanding presence on the road. The GT variant comes with black metallic wheels, while the Azami steps up with a machined black and silver finish.
In terms of overall size, the CX-70 shares much with the CX-90, with the key difference being the absence of a third row, making it slightly more compact yet still large enough to compete with rivals like the Toyota LandCruiser 300.
Interior and Technology
Step inside the Mazda CX-70, and you’ll find a cabin that’s all about comfort, technology, and craftsmanship. Both GT and Azami variants come with a 12.3-inch Mazda Connect touchscreen, offering wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as built-in satellite navigation. A 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a colour head-up display are standard, providing the driver with vital information right at their fingertips.
The GT variant includes features like heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and a 12-speaker Bose audio system, ensuring a premium experience for all occupants. For those opting for the Azami, the interior is further enhanced with Nappa leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, and ambient lighting for a more luxurious feel.
Advanced Safety Features
Mazda is known for its commitment to safety, and the CX-70 does not disappoint. Both variants come equipped with a suite of advanced safety features, including:
• Autonomous emergency braking
• Lane departure warning
• Lane-keep assist
• Blind-spot monitoring
• Front and rear cross-traffic alerts
• Driver monitoring system
• Traffic sign recognition
The Azami variant takes it a step further with Cruising and Traffic Support, which provides traffic jam assistance and enhanced lane-keeping capabilities. Additionally, the see-through view feature for the 360-degree camera and the Trailer Hitch View make maneuvering with a trailer easier and safer.
Power and Performance
Under the hood, the Mazda CX-70 offers two engine choices: a 3.3-litre turbocharged inline-six petrol producing 254kW and 500Nm, and a 3.3-litre diesel delivering 187kW and 550Nm. Both powertrains come with 48-volt mild-hybrid technology and are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.
The petrol engine boasts a combined fuel consumption of 8.1L/100km, while the diesel achieves an impressive 5.4L/100km. The CX-70 is also capable of towing up to 2500kg, making it a solid option for those with trailers or caravans.
Luxury Add-ons
For buyers seeking even more luxury, Mazda offers the SP package for the Azami variant, priced at $3500. This package adds tan-coloured Nappa leather upholstery, a two-tone steering wheel, and a suede dashboard finish, elevating the interior to a new level of sophistication.
