Mazda Kills the CX-70 as Two-Row CX-90 Joins 2027 Lineup

Mazda Consolidates Its Midsize SUV Lineup

After last week’s leak, Mazda has finally announced the 2027 CX-90’s pricing and packaging. The big news? The midsize SUV now comes with two-row configurations, which means the Mazda CX-70 is officially out and the two nameplates are merging into one.

The new seating arrangements will be available on the CX-90 3.3 Turbo Premium Sport and 3.3 Turbo S Premium Sport. Both will retain the CX-90 name while offering buyers a more cargo-focused alternative to the standard three-row SUV.

Modest Price Hike

Mazda isn’t going wild with price hikes this year. The base 3.3 Turbo Select now starts at $39,700, just $400 more than last year. The Preferred trim also climbs by $400 to $43,850, and the Premium Plus now sits at $50,670. If you want the Premium Sport, it’s $46,880 for two rows or $48,080 for three. The Turbo S Premium Sport? That’ll be $53,540 with two rows, $54,740 with three.

Compared with the 2026 CX-70, the new two-row CX-90 Premium Sport costs $46,880, just $100 more than the outgoing CX-70 3.3 Turbo Premium. The two-row Turbo S Premium Sport costs $53,540, also $100 more than its CX-70 counterpart. Of note, these are price comparisons between differently named trims, rather than exact equipment-for-equipment matches.

Mazda’s destination and handling charge remains $1,645, excluding taxes and other fees. That is unchanged even as the automaker adjusts vehicle pricing, unlike the destination-charge changes seen with the CX-5.

What’s New for 2027?

Beyond the additional seating configurations, every Mazda CX-90 for 2027 receives a revised rear suspension crossmember and updated rear suspension bushings intended to improve passenger comfort over rough pavement.

Mazda is also expanding the color palette with Navy Blue Mica, Aero Gray Metallic, Melting Copper Metallic, and Zircon Sand Metallic. Melting Copper and Zircon Sand are exclusive to two-row models.

Some trims gain additional standard equipment. The Turbo Preferred adds roof rails, while the Turbo Premium Sport and PHEV Premium Sport gain Alexa Built-In. Mazda Online Navigation becomes standard on the Turbo Premium Plus and PHEV Premium Plus.

The CX-90 PHEV also receives an electric drive motor update with external insulation material intended to make low-speed operation quieter. Its 2.5-liter plug-in hybrid powertrain continues to produce 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, with an estimated electric range of up to 27 miles.

Availability and Other Details

The 2027 CX-90 will continue to offer both mild-hybrid turbocharged inline-six powertrains and a plug-in hybrid option. The standard 3.3-liter turbo engine produces 280 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque on regular fuel, while the Turbo S version delivers up to 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft on premium fuel.

All models feature an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. Three-row configurations offer seating for up to eight, depending on the trim and seat arrangement.

Mazda has not provided a specific dealership arrival date in its pricing announcement. The new two-row configurations are intended to simplify the brand’s US midsize SUV range, giving buyers a choice between additional passenger capacity and more flexible cargo space without moving to a different nameplate.
