mazda prices the mildly updated 2026 cx 70

The Mazda CX-70 debuted just a couple years ago as a two-row version of the CX-90, and it’s scheduled for a modest update as it heads into the 2026 model year. The SUV has a range of standard advanced driver-assistance features, an upscale interior, and new styling elements.

Mazda offers three powertrains for the 2026 CX-70, starting with the turbocharged 3.3-liter inline-six with 280 horsepower. Upgraded Turbo S models get the same engine with power boosted to 340 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. Plug-in hybrid models offer a 30-mile electric range and 323 horsepower. All-wheel drive is standard for all trims.

The 2026 CX-70 has more standard features than its predecessor, which include heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, power lumbar, LED exterior lighting, and a range of safety tech features. Mazda also updated the SUV’s exterior badging with black accents throughout.

A 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen comes standard, offering wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It’s a unique interface that only offers touchscreen functionality when the smartphone mirroring features are in use and is otherwise controlled with a rotary dial.

Pricing for the 2026 CX-70 starts at $42,250 for the 3.3 Turbo Preferred trim. The top PHEV SC Plus costs $47,250, and Mazda offers a range of premium paints that start at $595.

  Mazda is near premium- like an Acura. Heck, some insides are better than Lexus. CX70 is on my list next time. I hope they fixed that dang thumb wheel hell controller thing.

Peeryog Everytime I see one I am reminded of the current Santa Fe. And vice versa.
Original Guy I watched that Moscow parade thing. (With the Cyrillic captions because my Russian is a little rough.) I won't give the whole thing away, but it started off with a couple of dudes riding around in stupid useless convertibles, standing up like Hitler, who I'm pretty sure was an actual Nazi. They drove around in circles and kept stopping to ask if anyone had seen all the missing military equipment, and all the guys kept moaning back, that no, they hadn't, ask the next section of guys.They looked around for someone shorter and sicker-looking than Putin but they were unsuccessful so they let him speak.The North Korean military was there, I guess the invasion has begun. The North Korean guys were skinny but their rifles were nicely polished, I guess they have plenty of time on their hands between meals.Some of the Russian military guys carried little white flags, I assume they keep those handy in case they run across any U.S. Marines.
Marc J Rauch EBFlexing on ur mom - Ethanol is compatible with more types of rubber, plastic, and metal than gasoline and aromatics. This means that ethanol is less corrosive. The bottom line is that long before ethanol could have any damaging effect on any engine component, gasoline and aromatics would have already damaged the components. And the addition of ethanol doesn't exacerbate the problems caused by gasoline and aromatics; it actually helps mitigate them.
Original Guy Today I learned that a reverse brake bleeder (and a long borescope) can be helpful if you are autistic and don't have any friends and no one wants to work with you to bleed your brakes. Also it is quick, once you figure out the process.When Canada assembled my truck back in circa 1995, they apparently used a different clip to attach the brake pedal (and switch) to the brake booster than what is technically called for. It is tough to realize this when the spring steel clip flies off to who knows where. Of course I ordered the wrong clip trying to match the style that I saw buried up in the dash before it flew away. My truck now has the 'correct' clip, everyone can relax.I ordered some more brake fluid (DOT 3, nothing fancy) but it turns out I still have two fresh bottles (my shelves aren't empty, I just have too many shelves).Went to install my fancy new Optima YellowTop battery and it turns out I need a new side post terminal bolt. (Yet another order placed, bring on THE TARIFFS.) It would be a shame to strip out the threads on a nice new battery, no?Good news: The longer it takes me to get my truck started again, the more I save on fuel. 😁
