Mazda Ends CX-70 as 2027 CX-90 Adds Two-Row Models
Mazda is retiring the CX-70 nameplate in the United States and folding its two-row role into the 2027 Mazda CX-90. The revised CX-90 lineup starts at $39,700 before destination, while the least expensive new two-row version starts at $46,880 before destination.
The change matters because it simplifies two nearly identical SUVs into one nameplate, but it does not give every CX-90 buyer a choice between two and three rows. Mazda limits the five-seat configuration to two inline-six Premium Sport trims, and the plug-in hybrid remains a three-row model.
2027 Mazda CX-90 prices
Mazda’s published prices exclude a $1,645 destination charge, or $1,690 in Alaska. Adding the standard destination fee brings the entry-level CX-90 3.3 Turbo Select to $41,345 and the least expensive two-row model to $48,525.
- CX-90 3.3 Turbo Select: $39,700
- CX-90 3.3 Turbo Premium Sport: $46,880 with two rows; $48,080 with three rows
- CX-90 PHEV Preferred: $50,695
- CX-90 3.3 Turbo S Premium Sport: $53,540 with two rows; $54,740 with three rows
- CX-90 PHEV Premium Plus: $58,700
- CX-90 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus: $57,970
Taxes, registration and dealer charges are extra, and Mazda notes that dealers set actual sale prices. The two-row configuration is therefore not the cheapest CX-90; it is an option on better-equipped Premium Sport grades.
What replaces the CX-70
The five-seat CX-90 is available as the 3.3 Turbo Premium Sport or the more powerful 3.3 Turbo S Premium Sport. Both use a one-touch folding second row to prioritize cargo space. The standard Turbo makes 280 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque on regular fuel, while the Turbo S produces up to 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft on the recommended premium fuel.
Both engines use a 48-volt mild-hybrid assist system, an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. The Turbo S also includes a towing mode and can tow up to 5,000 pounds when fitted with Mazda’s required towing accessories.
Independent coverage from Edmunds highlights the practical tradeoff: the cheapest two-row CX-90 costs more than the discontinued base CX-70 because Mazda offers the five-seat layout only on higher trims. That is a lineup simplification, not necessarily a lower-cost path for shoppers who do not need a third row.
PHEV stays three-row only
The 2027 CX-90 plug-in hybrid combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, an electric motor and a 17.8-kWh battery. Mazda rates the system at 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft on premium fuel, with up to 27 miles of electric range.
Mazda says it added external insulation to the PHEV’s electric drive motor to reduce noise at low speeds. The company has not claimed a change to battery capacity, range or total output, and its announcement does not offer a two-row PHEV replacement for the outgoing CX-70 PHEV.
Ride and equipment changes
Every 2027 CX-90 receives revised rear suspension bushings and a revised rear crossmember. Mazda says the changes are intended to improve passenger comfort on rough pavement; Chiefs Review has not independently driven the updated model.
Premium Sport trims add Alexa Built-In, while selected Premium Plus grades gain connected navigation. New colors include Navy Blue Mica, Aero Gray Metallic, Melting Copper Metallic and Zircon Sand Metallic, with the copper and sand finishes reserved for two-row models.
The CX-90 announcement follows Mazda’s separate update for the 2027 CX-5, which starts at $29,990 before destination. Shoppers comparing electrified SUVs can also see the latest 2027 Lexus RZ pricing and range.
