RICHMOND HILL, ON, Feb. 21, 2024 /CNW/ - Mazda Canada Inc. (MCI) today announced pricing and packaging for the all-new 2025 CX-70. This mid-size two-row crossover, set to go on sale this spring, features sporty design elements, a captivating interior, generous cargo space, and exhilarating electrified powertrains. Designed for the needs of an active and engaged customer base, CX-70 will offer six different trim levels to best fit their specific needs.

Available with three electrified powertrain options, CX-70 utilizes two variants of the e-Skyactiv G 3.3L Inline 6 Turbo with 48-volt M-Hybrid Boost, and an e-Skyactiv PHEV. All three choices are paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission, and standard i-Activ all-wheel drive (AWD). Supporting these powertrains is Mazda Intelligent Drive Select, or Mi-Drive, with Normal, Sport, Off-Road, Towing or available EV modes, depending on the model. Towing Mode increases the maximum towing up to 5,000 lbs. when equipped with Mazda Genuine Towing Accessories. Kinematic Posture Control (KPC) technology, which suppresses body lift on tight corners to enhance stability and help all occupants to maintain a natural posture, is also standard on all CX-70 models.

The CX-70 is a catalyst to allow customers to engage with their hobbies and passions. Keeping this in mind, Mazda has developed several key features for CX-70 that improve utility, connectivity and overall occupant comfort. This includes new remote-folding rear seats, which allow for easier loading into the rear of the vehicle, as well as a rear cargo area that has been optimized for storage with additional compartments, hooks for bags and other equipment, and a unique sub-trunk design that allows CX-70 owners to stow valuables and other small items out of sight.

Also aiding the driver is the integration of Alexa, which is available on certain CX-70 models. Alexa allows the driver to make hands-free commands for prompts like changing the temperature, or radio station, to controlling their smart home devices. CX-70 is the first Mazda crossover to feature Alexa with the goal of reducing driver distraction and improving ease of use. CX-70 also introduces two new features for Mazda to help in emergency situations called Private eCall and Stolen Vehicle Assistance. Private eCall is a connected vehicle feature that initiates a call to connect vehicle occupants to an emergency call centre when emergency services are required. Calls can also be initiated with a button inside the vehicle. Stolen Vehicle Assistance is also available in the MyMazda app and can help authorities track and retrieve the vehicle in the event of vehicle theft.

The CX-70 is available in seven colours, including a new, exclusive shade called Melting Copper Metallic, which is unique to CX-70 along with Zircon Sand Metallic, Polymetal Grey Metallic, Soul Red Crystal Metallic, Machine Grey Metallic, Rhodium White Metallic, and Jet Black Mica.
