The two versions of the Turbo S will produce 340 hp and 369 lb-ft. A combined 25 mpg is the EPA figure. Every trim has room for five and 39.6 cu ft of cargo in back of the rear seats, or 75.3 cu ft if they are put down.

What is the 2026 Mazda CX-70?
Mazda’s CX-70 is the two-row of its midsize SUVs. Underpinning it is the large-platform, rear-biased architecture you will find in the three-row CX-90. The CX-70 has the same 122.8-inch wheelbase and comes in at 200.8 inches long. While the CX-90 uses up the room in back for a third row, the CX-70 puts that space to work as cargo area with a load floor to match. They are near twins in terms of exterior size but are intended for different purposes.
There are five trims to choose from, each an all-wheel drive and each running on a 3.3-liter turbocharged inline-six of longitudinal design with 48-volt mild hybrid support. You will see the CX-70 in the Mazda showroom positioned with the CX-90 and over the compact CX-50, pitted against a segment of rivals for the most part content with transverse V6 or four-cylinder configurations. A plug-in hybrid is available too, with 323 hp and 25 mpg combined from $44,450*. But here we are concerned with the inline-six models. In this price bracket the CX-70 stands out from the rest of the midsize field by making all-wheel drive standard equipment.
2026 Mazda CX-70 Trim Levels and Pricing
| Trim | Powertrain | Drivetrain | Starting MSRP | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.3 Turbo Preferred | 3.3L Turbo I-6, 48V mild hybrid | AWD | $42,750* | If you want the inline-six at the lowest entry point |
| 3.3 Turbo Premium | 3.3L Turbo I-6, 48V mild hybrid | AWD | $46,780* | If you want the 5,000-lb tow rating |
| 3.3 Turbo Premium Plus | 3.3L Turbo I-6, 48V mild hybrid | AWD | $49,570* | The volume pick in the 280-hp range |
| 3.3 Turbo S Premium | 3.3L Turbo I-6 (S tune), 48V mild hybrid | AWD | $53,440* | If you want the 340-hp output |
| 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus | 3.3L Turbo I-6 (S tune), 48V mild hybrid | AWD | $56,870* | The fully equipped top of the lineup |
*MSRP excludes the manufacturer’s destination and handling charge, which varies by model. It also excludes the $85 dealer doc fee, taxes, title, license and other applicable fees. Contact dealer for total price.
Every one of these trims is all-wheel drive, so there is no front-drive entry point to sort through and no drivetrain upcharge to price out. For a full trim-by-trim breakdown of equipment and what each step up adds, our trim levels page goes deeper than this spec sheet does. You can also browse our new Mazda inventory to see which CX-70 trims are on the ground right now, or get a number on your current vehicle before you come in.
2026 Mazda CX-70 Powertrain and Fuel Economy: 280-340 hp, 25 mpg
The CX-70 range is powered by a single engine family, albeit in two different tunes. At work in each is a 3.3-liter turbocharged inline-six of the longitudinal variety and a 48-volt mild hybrid, and all four wheels are put to use. For the complete drivetrain and output numbers you can refer to the Official Mazda Specifications.
3.3L Turbo Inline-6: 280 hp, 332 lb-ft, 25 MPG Combined
Under the standard tune the 3.3 Turbo Preferred, 3.3 Turbo Premium and 3.3 Turbo Premium Plus are put through their paces. All three come with 280 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque as well as all-wheel drive. The EPA has the figures for these models at 24/28/25 mpg (city/highway/combined) and you can check EPA Fuel-Economy Ratings to verify. The longitudinal inline-six is mated to a rear-biased all-wheel drive. In this segment, it is the sort of setup for which you would ordinarily have to be looking at a luxury marque.
3.3L Turbo S Inline-6: 340 hp, 369 lb-ft, 25 MPG Combined
Under the S tune are the 3.3 Turbo S Premium and 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus. All-wheel drive is standard as output is up to 340 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. The EPA rates both of the S trims at 25 combined, 28 on the highway and 23 in the city. The combined and highway figures are in line with what you get from the standard tune. The S trims are rated 1 mpg lower in the city than the standard Turbo trims, with 60 more horsepower and 37 more lb-ft of torque.

2026 Mazda CX-70 Dimensions and Capacities
| Measurement | Figure |
|---|---|
| Overall length | 200.8 in |
| Overall width | 78.5 in |
| Overall height | 68.7 in |

Every 2026 Mazda CX-70 includes i-Activsense, the standard driver-assist safety suite across the lineup.
Quick Take: How the 2026 CX-70 Compares to Rivals
- Power: The 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee L ranges from 293 hp on the L Laredo and Laredo X to 324 hp on its other five trims, still short of the CX-70 Turbo S trims’ 340 hp and 369 lb-ft.
- Standard all-wheel drive: Every 2026 CX-70 trim comes with all-wheel drive at no extra cost. On the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe, all-wheel drive is standard only on the XRT and optional on the SE, SEL, Limited, and Calligraphy, which are front-drive as delivered.
- Seating: The 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee L offers a third row the CX-70 doesn’t, seating up to seven, so if you need that extra row, the Grand Cherokee L’s seating edge is worth weighing against the CX-70’s stronger output and standard all-wheel drive.
Driving the 2026 CX-70 in Orange
You will find Mazda of Orange at 1360 W Katella Ave in Orange (CA 92867), a short way from the 57 once you take the Katella Avenue exit. It is a convenient location for you to test the CX-70 in the sort of traffic you are accustomed to here. Drivers coming down from Claremont cover the 30 miles on the 57 S in about 35 minutes, and the quiet two-row cabin makes the return leg the easy half of the trip. On the Turbo models the 24 mpg city figure is of more consequence than what it does on the highway, particularly when surface streets are all stop-and-go. The 48-volt system is made for that type of driving.
The two-row configuration proves its worth in weekend driving. Take a day in at Disneyland or over to Disney California Adventure and you can put away the strollers and coolers and such without having to fold anything down, there being 39.6 cu ft to spare behind the rear seats. Put four in the car for Knott’s Berry Farm and your cargo hold remains available. For any longer excursions, be it to the Huntington Beach Pier with your boards and chairs or a leisurely drive to Mission San Juan Capistrano, the 75.3 cubic feet you have with the second row folded will accommodate it. And should you do any towing, the Premium and up will handle a utility trailer or small boat with their 5,000-lb rating. We invite you to come in and take a look at one, hours and directions are provided.

Frequently Asked Questions About the 2026 Mazda CX-70
How much does the 2026 Mazda CX-70 cost?
Pricing starts at $42,750* for the 3.3 Turbo Preferred and runs to $56,870* for the 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus. In between sit the 3.3 Turbo Premium at $46,780*, the 3.3 Turbo Premium Plus at $49,570*, and the 3.3 Turbo S Premium at $53,440*. All five figures are starting MSRP for all-wheel-drive vehicles, since every CX-70 trim includes all-wheel drive as standard equipment rather than as a cost option.
What is the MPG of the 2026 Mazda CX-70?
All trims put in 25 mpg on a combined basis. As for the 3.3 Turbo models, the Preferred, Premium and Premium Plus will get 24 in the city and 28 on the highway. The S Premium and S Premium Plus of the two Turbo S trims are rated at 23 city/28 highway. You will find the same numbers for highway and combined driving no matter which one you choose. The city rating is where the difference shows up: the more powerful S tune costs 1 mpg in the city.
How much can the 2026 Mazda CX-70 tow?
With a top tow rating of 5,000 pounds, the 3.3 Turbo Premium and Plus, as well as the 3.3 Turbo S Premium and S Premium Plus trims, can handle it. They are four out of the five in the range. The 3.3 Turbo Preferred, being the entry model, is good for 3,500 pounds. So you should make the move from the Preferred to the Premium if the towing numbers are a consideration for you.
How many trims does the 2026 Mazda CX-70 come in?
The 2026 model year is offered in five trims, from the 3.3 Turbo Preferred to the 3.3 Turbo Premium and Premium Plus, as well as the 3.3 Turbo S Premium and S Premium Plus. A 280-hp version of the inline-six is found in the first three. The two S variants are fitted with the 340-horsepower tune. With all-wheel drive and a capacity for five passengers across the board, you are left to decide on a trim by what it puts out and how it is equipped.
How much horsepower does the 2026 CX-70 have?
With the 3.3 Turbo in the Preferred, Premium or Premium Plus trims you get 280 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque. The S Premium and S Premium Plus versions of the 3.3 Turbo are more potent at 340 hp and 369 lb-ft. In either case it is the 3.3-liter turbo inline-six with its 48-volt mild hybrid system that is responsible for those numbers, only put through a different sort of tuning to suit whichever side of the range you have your eye on.
How many people does the 2026 Mazda CX-70 seat?
There is seating for five in any trim of the CX-70, arranged in two rows. A third row is not an option at any trim. It is what sets it apart from Mazda’s three-row CX-90, for all that the latter has the same 122.8-inch wheelbase and measures 200.8 inches long. Should you require room for six or more passengers from Mazda, then the CX-90 is the choice to make rather than stepping up to a top tier of the CX-70. Outside the brand, the three-row 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander seats up to eight, starting at $42,260*.
How much cargo space does the 2026 CX-70 have?
Cargo volume is 39.6 cubic feet behind the second row and 75.3 cubic feet maximum with that row folded. Both figures apply to every trim in the lineup, since all five share identical body dimensions. The two-row layout is what produces the larger behind-the-seats number compared with a three-row SUV built on the same platform, where the rearmost seats occupy that space.
What safety features come standard on the 2026 CX-70?
Mazda includes its i-Activsense driver-assistance and active safety system as standard equipment with the 2026 CX-70 across all five trims, and there is no upcharge for it. The CX-70 has also earned the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ in the midsize SUV segment, the more prestigious of the IIHS honors. IIHS awards are issued throughout the model year and can depend on headlight construction or trim level, so confirm the specifics for the configuration you’re considering.
Is the 2026 Mazda CX-70 available with all-wheel drive?
That is correct, and you would call it standard issue. You will find all-wheel drive on every trim right out of the box, be it a $42,750* Turbo Preferred or a top end $56,870* Turbo S Premium Plus. As for the CX-70 there is not a front-wheel-drive variant, so an upcharge for all-wheel drive is not something to put in your budget. The setup is rear-biased, with the system mated to the inline-six that is mounted longitudinally.
What engine is in the 2026 Mazda CX-70?
Under the hood of any trim you will find a 3.3-liter e-SKYACTIV G turbocharged inline-six, augmented by a 48-volt mild hybrid. An oddity for its class is the longitudinal as opposed to transverse mounting of the engine. In its standard specification it puts out 280 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque. The Turbo S version is good for 340 hp and 369 lb-ft. There are no V6 or four-cylinder options to be had in the CX-70 lineup.
What is new for the 2026 Mazda CX-70?
The 2026 CX-70 carries over its five-trim lineup, standard AWD, two-row seating, and both engine tunes from the prior model year with no changes to the powertrain or trim structure. What does change for 2026 is trim content: gloss black Mazda emblems and badges arrive, and the 3.3 Turbo Preferred adds standard ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and eight-way power front seats.
Is the 2026 CX-70 the same as the 2025 model?
Yes. The 2026 CX-70 is a carryover from 2025, with the same five trims, the same 3.3-liter turbocharged inline-six in 280-hp and 340-hp tunes, the same standard all-wheel drive, and the same five-passenger two-row layout. Body dimensions are unchanged at 200.8 inches long on a 122.8-inch wheelbase. Cross-shopping a leftover 2025 against a 2026 comes down to price and availability rather than specification.
What is the difference between the CX-70 and the CX-90?
There are two rows in the CX-70, room for five. A third is put in by the CX-90. In other respects they are much the same: identical exterior measurements for all intents and purposes, a 122.8-inch wheelbase and the 3.3-liter turbo inline-six are common to both. The CX-70 will have 39.6 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row as it has foregone rear seats for volume. You have only to decide if space or an extra seat is what you require at the back.
Does the 2026 Mazda CX-70 come as a hybrid?
The 3.3-liter turbo inline-six found in all CX-70s is complemented by a 48-volt mild hybrid system. It is there to aid the engine, not to propel the car under electric power. For that capability you would have to look at the CX-70 Plug-in Hybrid from Mazda, with its 323 hp and 25 mpg combined (the price comes in at $44,450*). We have both in stock for those wishing to put the two powertrains side by side.
How big is the 2026 Mazda CX-70?
The CX-70 measures 200.8 inches long, 78.5 inches wide, and 68.7 inches tall, riding on a 122.8-inch wheelbase. Those dimensions hold across all five trims. That length puts it firmly in the midsize SUV class and gives it a footprint close to Mazda’s three-row CX-90, which uses the same wheelbase and overall length while devoting more of its interior volume to a third row of seats.
Which 2026 CX-70 trim should I choose?
Consider towing first. For anything over 3,500 pounds, you’ll need the 3.3 Turbo Premium at $46,780*, since the Preferred doesn’t offer the 5,000-pound rating. Where output is of concern to you, the 340 hp and 369 lb-ft of the 3.3 Turbo S Premium will be had for $53,440*. The Preferred at $42,750* is still the most economical option for an inline-six and all-wheel drive as standard.
