"2025 Mazda CX-70: A Familiar Yet Right-Sized Offering"

The 2025 Mazda CX-70, announced as a unique two-row crossover, has turned out to be essentially a CX-90 with only two rows of seats, featuring minimal exterior and interior differences. Despite some cosmetic changes and the absence of a third row, the CX-70 shares the same platform, powertrains, and interior design as the CX-90. The decision to market it as a separate model has raised questions about its differentiation and the naming strategy, with critics suggesting that the CX-70 should have been a distinct vehicle rather than a variant of the CX-90.
