It's all a bit perplexing.Agreed. Two compacts that are essentially the same size, and two mid-size that are exactly the same size.The CX-50 at least is markedly different from the CX-5 that it is a unique vehicle. Wider, more aggressive styling, with 'off-road' vibes, whatever that means. Also, different suspension and steering. It's like there's two entirely different product development teams at Mazda1) We want a slightly more off roady CX-5 OK, we need a whole new body/chassis/suspension!2) We want a new model that slots between the CX-5/50 and the CX-90OK, we can unbolt the rear seats, and....uh....new emblems!

(Imagine Toyota renaming 4Runners with the optional third row the 5Runner.)
Scheming to take one out when they become available, and do a side by side feature with the CX-90
Quote from: Blueprint on February 01, 2024, 07:52:06 amScheming to take one out when they become available, and do a side by side feature with the CX-90 Well, that might a very short comparison if you are looking for differences. Maybe you can get them in two different colours so you'd have more to talk about? "As you can see, they are completely different. The CX-70 is blue while the CX-90 is silver"
I edited the thread title - Mazda issued an apology, as they made a mistake in their earlier press releases - the CX-70 will be launched this spring as a 2025 model and not a 2024.

So.... for the same price, you get the same vehicle, but with less flexibility? Sounds like a no-brainer to me. Let's all run out and buy CX-70's.
Canadian pricing out too. CX-90 equivalents in parantheses.GS-L: $49,750 ($49,300)GT: $54,350 ($55,350)GT-P: $58,300 ($59,300)Signature: $62,300 ($63,300)PHEV GS-L: $58,750 ($59,950)PHEV GT: $63,350 ($64,350)
Do you at least get more room for cargo in the 70? That could sway me vs the 90.

I would have loved that in my rig!

I was hoping for something the size of cx60.Wonder how they will sell this when it’s a cx90 without the 3rd row for just a little more money.
