One of the more recent additions to Mazda’s crossover lineup, the CX-70 has been criticized by some for being too similar to the CX-90. The one major difference is the CX-70’s lack of a third row, but the two are otherwise hard to tell apart.
Still, if you need a classy crossover and don’t need to seat more than five people, the CX-70 is a strong choice in the midsize segment, which includes the Honda Passport. Mazda is currently running a lease deal on the CX-70, and although it’s limited to just one trim, it works out cheaper than the equivalent CX-90.

This Month’s Mazda CX-70 Lease Deals
2026 Mazda CX-70
The 2026 Mazda CX-70’s lease price for this month starts at $412 per month over 33 months, with $3,999 due at signing. This offer includes 10,000 miles per year, but you’ll have to pay $0.15 per mile if you exceed this limit. Excluded from the offer are tax, title, license, and any dealer options or charges.
A quick look at the CX-90’s equivalent lease deal shows a cost of $455/month over a longer 36-month period, with the same upfront cost, so you can save quite a bit over the entire lease term by choosing the two-row CX-70. This Mazda CX-70 lease offer applies to the Turbo Preferred trim, as do the CX-90 costs outlined here. It’s also a California deal, but you can check the lease deals in your area by visiting Mazda’s special offers website page and adding your zip code.

Powertrain and Features
2026 Mazda CX-70
Mazda
All non-hybrid CX-70s have a 3.3-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine with a mild hybrid system. On ‘Turbo’ models, this engine produces 280 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, while ‘Turbo S’ derivatives make up to 340 hp and 369 lb-ft. An eight-speed automatic and a rear-biased AWD system are standard. The base Turbo Preferred lacks a towing mode, though, so you must settle for its maximum trailering capacity of 3,500 pounds—other trims can tow 5,000 lbs.
The base Turbo Preferred comes with a power moonroof, 21-inch alloy wheels, and LED exterior lighting. For $595 extra, you can have it finished in the brand’s gorgeous Soul Red paint. Head inside, and you’ll find three-zone automatic climate control, radar-based adaptive cruise control, eight-way power front seats with heating and ventilation, heated second-row seats, a heated steering wheel, an eight-speaker sound system, and a 12.3-inch color infotainment display. That’s a decent amount of kit for a base model.
Top CX-70 trims get quilted Nappa leather seats, a 12-speaker Bose sound system, adaptive front lighting, and a panoramic power moonroof, among other items. This is also one of the safest SUVs you can buy.

Final Thoughts
The justification for the CX-70’s existence alongside the CX-90 became clearer when we drove it earlier this year. Not everybody needs to transport seven or eight people, and the CX-90’s third row isn’t exactly adult-friendly, either. Besides that, you get an unobstructed cargo area in the CX-70, and as this month’s Mazda CX-70 lease offers show, you can save a lot over the entire lease term by going for the two-row crossover.
Although some aspects of the infotainment system need refining, the CX-70 is otherwise difficult to fault. It’s fun to drive yet appropriately refined, and even the base model is generously equipped.
