MAZDA ARE SO UNDERATED! AND I LOVE IT THAT WAY!

Just purchased a CX-70 Signature (Canadian version of the premium turbo s plus) yesterday - I can’t wait to pick it up next week. The only negative is that we can’t get the melted copper metallic exterior colour in Canada, but the red metallic with this interior is a great combo for this model. We tried various other vehicles before deciding on this (Honda Pilot, Passport and a Lexus RX350) but the drivability and the amount of features for the price can’t be matched…….plus they just look great. Excellent review by the way!

This is the one I would get, have no need for the 3rd row. Love the huge cargo area as a result.

They did a big update to the transmission tuning for this and added it to the cx 90 as a tsb.

So happy to see this great review. Drove a CX-70 today and plan on purchasing within the week. Trading my 2016 CX-5 with almost 224k miles. Best car I've ever owned and I'm really looking forward to more space and power in the 70.

I am the owner of Mazda CX-90 2025 Signature, It is absolutely great. Thanks for the very good review.

Absolutely love your videos, knowing I’ll never take any vehicle off road, you show that some of them are “capable” of light off roading

[cecilezimmer]

Wow! The Mazda did sooo much better than the Santa Fe on your off trail section. Even though the Santa Fe was an XRT version, supposedly more trail ready (obviously not!!!)

[farcinue]

This seems like a great road trip car.

[travelershe]

I also wish it had all black interior! Come on Mazda.

The only way this thing goes off road is if Starbuck opens a store in the middle of your test track.

Now that i have left Seattle and move to texas, your videos (as informative as they are) keep my memories of beautiful PNW fresh.

[rromancunard]

Wooh in line 6, probably a super engine. 🏆
Thanks for share 🙏🏻

[ryanschmid]

I feel like they need to label it Offroad/Snow for the average consumer but glad to see the system works so well

I really love your review cars, i watched almost all of them, it's just because you always bring the reviews to adventure journey.

[robertmurdock]

Happy to see my first review of the CX-70, with any off-roading POV. Love your idea for mods that could offer up a better off-road vehicle. I like the CX-70 just the way it is!

Beautiful normal buttons and shift lever. Other brands need to go back to common sense design like this and stop trying to reinvent the button and shift lever which are already perfect.

Just picked up the PHEV version in Premium Plus. Fantastic vehicle!!

Hey Ryan, after 12 subarus, and no more autox, I picked mine up 2 weeks ago. When this came on my feed to watch, I'm like, yep. Yep. yep. Everything you said, including the suede, wifes shoes sometimes touch the dash. (dark brown/blackish) So I got a turbo S premium (no suede, and no 120 in the hatch, like... that's it) and, it's got everything in the on road dynamics department that make it a comfortable "GT" suv. I looked at many cars in my search and ... this was the absolute winner. Price/value, and ... again, driving dynamics. Subaru can't touch this right now, and I'm just done with CVT. (I wish manuals were a thing still). Plenty of room for my pups, or golf gear. :) I picked it over a Land Cruiser because of the dogs... it doesn't have that extra shelf for them to jump over into the hatch, and is slightly lower. Same issue with the higher trim/more powerful 4runners coming soon... Also, lots of room under the entire floor (you didn't lift the whole floor up, it goes all the way to the back seats, lots of under-floor storage since no 3rd row)

I agree with this Model Selection.... Premium Plus with the Turbo S . I intend to test drive one in the near future as a replacement possibility for my expired 22 Acura MDX Advance lease which I just extended for 6 months. The new 25 MDX Advance with a redesigned Touch Screen, introduced the massaging front seats form the Type S, a new B&O stereo (??? Why the ELS system was Fantastic), a interior Light Show with changing colors (which I have very rarely used) BUT with a Good Acura 3.5L V-6 Engine with 45 Less HP and over 50 lbs Torque than the CX-70 for $68K vs $58K!! I'll keep my eye on the Mazda Forums to see what problems / Gremlins appear in the postings. FWIW, My 22 MDX has been trouble free for over 3 years and still "winks" at mee sitting in my driveway as i love the Muscular Design and my color Fathom Blue Pearl.
