Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 28 Oct, 01:03 · Archive

Mazda has discontinued the CX-70 from its US lineup from 2027, replacing it with five-seat versions of the CX-90.

Mazda USA has axed the CX-70 from its brand lineup, discontinuing the large five-seat SUV after the current model year. The Japanese automaker will replace it with five-seat versions of the CX-90, streamlining its range. Mazda USA said the move would simplify the lineup and give customers 'more intuitive choices based on how they shop today'.

The CX-70 was launched in Australia in 2024 and is offered exclusively as a five-seater. It shares its platform, 3.3-litre six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines, and bodywork with the CX-90, with only minor external trim differences between the two models. The vehicle is currently offered only in Australia and North America.

Mazda Australia has confirmed that the CX-70 will remain in local showrooms with no plans to remove it from the current range. The model will also continue to be available for the 2027 model year in Canada. Australia is the only market globally that receives all four of Mazda's Large Architecture SUVs: the CX-60, CX-70, CX-80 and CX-90.
