The overview

Think of the new CX-70 as a five-passenger version of the CX-90. Like the CX-90, it uses a rear-wheel-drive-based platform with standard all-wheel drive. The standard engine is a 280-hp, 3.3-liter turbocharged inline-six that incorporates a mild-hybrid setup. A more potent 340-hp Turbo S and a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) with an EPA estimated EV range of 26 miles are available. An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard. We got 23 mpg overall with the CX-90 PHEV when in hybrid mode, 1 mpg less than the standard engine. Expect athletic handling, confident steering and brake pedal feel and a firm ride from the CX-70. The front seats are supportive, the second row is roomy and comfortable and the cargo area is immense. Fit and finish, particularly on upper trim levels, is swanky. Some of the controls, including the gear selector, are unintuitive.

Behind the data

Latest source update: September 11, 2026

Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.

Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
