Mazda has always been at the forefront of automotive innovation. In recent years, it has put out some gorgeous vehicles that deliver exceptional performance and come with advanced technology that make driving fun. Recently, Mazda announced that it will introduce two new exciting vehicles that build on that legacy: The all-new Mazda CX-70 and the Mazda CX-90.
These two crossovers will be built on a new platform that Mazda is introducing, and they’ll be released sometime after another new model, the CX-50, is released in November. Industry experts estimate that the CX-70 will arrive at the end of this year and the CX-90 will arrive early in 2023. Here’s what we know so far:
Longitudinal Platform
The longitudinal platform was developed as part of Mazda’s stated plans to make a quarter of its vehicles be electric by 2030 and to have all of its vehicles have at least some degree of electrification. This new platform is a straight-six with rear-wheel drive. It has a double wishbone front suspension for improved handling. The engine is expected to have a plug-in hybrid system to save on fuel consumption, as well as a turbocharger to amplify performance.
Not very many details have been released about the platform other than a diagram, but we expect big changes based on the goals that Mazda has set. We expect that more details will come out throughout the summer, and we’ll be reporting as we get them.
Additional Details
Details are scarce about these two new vehicles, as they often are in the first days after an early announcement. However, we do know a few items of interest. The Mazda CX-70 will be a two-row vehicle, while the Mazda CX-90, which will replace the current CX-9, will be a three-row vehicle. Mazda also says it will optimize the configuration of the CX-90 so that it offers more interior and cargo space. Both models were designed for audiences looking for larger SUVs.
Mazda has its sights set on competitors like BMW and Lexus, with the goal of pulling out of comparisons to more budget-friendly models like Nissan or Toyota, so we expect to see a lot of high-end materials and features in both new models. Mazda has already been designing its vehicles with more sophisticated choices, so this will be a natural evolution for the automaker. Expect to see the Mazdas to look and perform even better than before.
