Mazda introduced the CX-70 nameplate in its inventory at the beginning of 2024 for the 2025 model year, and unlike other automakers who focused on electric drivetrains, it offered an inline-six and a PHEV version.

The second generation of the Mazda CX-7 was revealed in 2009 at the New York Auto Show.

Derived from the MX-Crossport concept, the CX-7 was a midsize crossover that blended SUV capabilities with the agility of a sporty car, managing to provide a fun ride.
