Mazda drops the CX‑70 and offers two‑row CX‑90 trims for 2027

Mazda will discontinue the CX‑70 and fold the two‑row model into the CX‑90 lineup for 2027, reducing the number of distinct midsize SUV nameplates in its US range.

The 2027 CX‑90 range now comprises nine trim levels, but only two of those trims are available with a two‑row layout; the remainder remain three‑row models.

All 2027 CX‑90s receive a revised rear suspension crossmember and updated rear suspension bushings intended to improve passenger comfort, and Mazda has added new exterior colours including Navy Blue Mica, Aero Grey Metallic, Melting Copper Metallic and Zircon Sand Metallic.

Pricing and which trims get two rows

Mazda lists the base CX‑90 3.3 Turbo Select from $41,345 — a figure that includes a $1,645 destination and handling charge — a modest increase over the previous model year.

The two‑row option is offered on the CX‑90 3.3 Turbo Premium Sport and the 3.3 Turbo S Premium Sport. Two‑row pricing for the Premium Sport starts at $48,525, while the three‑row Premium Sport is shown from $49,675. The Turbo S Premium Sport appears from $55,185 in its standard configuration.

Mazda’s plug‑in hybrid CX‑90s are priced from $52,340 for the PHEV Preferred, $57,145 for the PHEV Premium Sport and $60,345 for the PHEV Premium Plus.

Some reports list lower headline prices that exclude the destination charge; those figures show the base 3.3 Turbo Select from $39,700, the Preferred from $43,850 and the Premium Plus from $50,670. In that presentation the Premium Sport is shown at $46,880 for two rows or $48,080 for three, and the Turbo S Premium Sport appears at $53,540 with two rows or $54,740 with three.

Mazda’s destination and handling charge remains $1,645 and is excluded from the alternative, lower headline prices.

Powertrains and equipment

The familiar 3.3‑litre turbocharged inline‑six with a 48‑volt mild‑hybrid system remains the primary petrol option. On regular fuel it is rated at 280 hp (209 kW) and 332 lb‑ft (450 Nm) and uses an eight‑speed automatic and standard all‑wheel drive.

An upgraded Turbo S version of the 3.3‑litre motor produces up to 340 hp (254 kW) and 369 lb‑ft (500 Nm) when run on 91‑octane fuel.

The CX‑90 PHEV line pairs a naturally aspirated 2.5‑litre four‑cylinder with an electric motor and a 17.8‑kWh battery; the system is rated at 323 hp (241 kW) and 369 lb‑ft (500 Nm). Mazda also says the PHEV’s electric drive motor received extra external insulation for quieter low‑speed operation, and the PHEV has an estimated electric range of up to 27 miles.

Standard equipment levels vary by trim: the Turbo Select includes leatherette seats, a seven‑inch digital gauge cluster and a 10.25‑inch infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Turbo Preferred gains a larger 12.3‑inch centre display and 21‑inch silver wheels, and higher trims add features such as heated and ventilated seats, captain’s chairs, a Bose audio system, a panoramic moonroof and Mazda’s full suite of driver assistance technologies.

Specific trim differences include the Turbo Premium Sport being offered as an eight‑seat or seven‑seat layout (with second‑row captain’s chairs available), while Turbo S‑spec models add driving modes including Sport, Off‑Road and Towing, a blacked‑out appearance package on some variants, and other premium touches.

Some trims gain additional standard kit for 2027: the Turbo Preferred now adds roof rails; the Turbo Premium Sport and the PHEV Premium Sport gain Alexa Built‑In; and Mazda Online Navigation becomes standard on the Turbo Premium Plus and PHEV Premium Plus.

Melting Copper Metallic and Zircon Sand Metallic are exclusive to the two‑row CX‑90 models, while the other new paints are available across the range.

Mazda has not provided a specific dealership arrival date in the pricing announcement.

The consolidation is intended to simplify Mazda’s US midsize SUV range by giving buyers the choice of a two‑row, cargo‑oriented configuration or a three‑row family SUV under the single CX‑90 nameplate.
