The introduction of the Mazda CX-70 marks a significant moment for the brand and for drivers in Wellesley, MA. This is not just another SUV; it is a vehicle designed for those who want the presence and luxury of a large SUV but do not require a third row of seating. At Wellesley Mazda, a Shaker Auto Group dealership, we have seen a growing demand for a vehicle that offers ample cargo space, cutting-edge technology, and a premium driving experience. The CX-70 delivers on all fronts, providing a sophisticated alternative to the cluttered mid-size SUV market in New England.
What makes the Mazda CX-70 different from the Mazda CX-90?
The primary difference is that the Mazda CX-70 is a two-row SUV designed for maximum cargo utility and personal space, whereas the CX-90 features three rows of seating. While both share the same large platform and powerful engines, the CX-70 features unique styling elements like blacked-out trim and distinct wheel designs.
For many Wellesley residents, the third row of an SUV often goes unused, simply taking up valuable cargo room. The CX-70 solves this by dedicating that rear space to storage, featuring an under-floor compartment and a flat-folding rear seat that is perfect for hauling equipment for a trip to the Maine coast or gear for a weekend in the Berkshires. By choosing the CX-70 at Wellesley Mazda, you get the same wide-body stance and premium interior of our largest SUV but in a package tailored for active couples and smaller families.
What are the engine and performance options for the Mazda CX-70?
The Mazda CX-70 offers two primary powertrain options: a high-output 3.3-liter inline-six turbocharged engine with a 48V mild-hybrid system and a 2.5-liter Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) powertrain. Both options provide the effortless power and smoothness required for New England highways.
The inline-six engine is a masterpiece of engineering, providing a rear-biased all-wheel-drive experience that feels more like a performance sedan than a utility vehicle. For those in Wellesley looking to reduce their carbon footprint without sacrificing range, the PHEV model offers the ability to drive on pure electricity for daily errands around town, with the gasoline engine ready for longer trips across New England. As part of the Shaker Auto Group, we are excited to offer these advanced powertrains that balance efficiency with the "Zoom-Zoom" soul Mazda is known for.
How much cargo space does the Mazda CX-70 offer?
The Mazda CX-70 offers a vast cargo area that is one of the most generous in the two-row SUV segment, specifically designed with remote-folding rear seats and additional sub-trunk storage. This makes it incredibly easy to transition from a daily commuter to a weekend adventure vehicle.
-
Flat Load Floor: Ideal for sliding in heavy items like furniture or large suitcases.
-
Under-Floor Storage: Keeps valuables out of sight and organizes smaller items like emergency kits or charging cables.
-
Remote Folding Seats: Rear seats can be lowered with the touch of a button from the cargo area.
-
Towing Capacity: When properly equipped, the CX-70 can tow up to 5,000 lbs, perfect for small boats or trailers.
What interior luxury features are available in the Mazda CX-70?
The interior of the Mazda CX-70 features premium materials such as available Nappa leather, genuine wood trim, and sophisticated color palettes like Bordeaux red. It also includes a standard 12.3-inch infotainment display with integrated Amazon Alexa and wireless smartphone connectivity.
Stepping into the CX-70 at Wellesley Mazda feels like entering a high-end lounge. The attention to detail is evident in every stitch and button. For New England drivers, the available heated and ventilated seats, along with a heated steering wheel, ensure comfort regardless of the weather outside in Wellesley, MA. The quietness of the cabin is also a standout feature, utilizing extensive sound-dampening materials to provide a serene environment even when driving at highway speeds on I-95.
Why is the Mazda CX-70 a good fit for New England drivers?
The Mazda CX-70 is a good fit for New England drivers because it combines standard i-ACTIV All-Wheel Drive with a powerful, stable chassis that can handle snow, ice, and uneven terrain. Its blend of luxury and utility makes it the perfect "do-it-all" vehicle for the Massachusetts lifestyle.
