Related CX-70 images found here. Mazda has been moving steadily upmarket for more than a decade. With the 2026 Mazda CX-70, the company pushes that strategy even further. This midsize crossover is aimed at drivers who want space, performance, and upscale touches—but without the third row found in the CX-90. The result is a two-row SUV that feels unusually refined for a mainstream brand. In many ways, the CX-70 is Mazda’s answer to buyers who might otherwise consider an Acura, Lexus, or Audi.
