2026 Mazda CX-70 Trims Guide – First Look

A smart way to compare 2026 Mazda CX-70 trims

The 2026 Mazda CX-70 lineup gives shoppers five distinct Inline 6 trims, and each one builds on the same sporty two-row SUV formula in a slightly different way. Mazda positions the CX-70 as a midsize SUV that blends premium craftsmanship, versatile cargo space, standard i-Activ AWD, and a mild hybrid inline 6 powertrain. If you want the full model overview before narrowing down trim differences, start with our 2026 Mazda CX-70 research hub.

This blog is designed to complement the trims page by focusing more on how each version fits different shopping priorities. Mazda highlights a 3.3-liter inline 6 turbo engine with a 48-volt mild hybrid system across the lineup, while Turbo S models raise output to as much as 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque with premium fuel. That means the CX-70 trim conversation is not only about equipment. It is also about deciding how much performance, luxury, towing capability, and driver-focused technology you want in your everyday SUV.

Mazda also makes the CX-70 stand apart with details that shape its personality beyond the powertrain. The lineup keeps a dedicated two-row layout with seating for five, offers up to 75.3 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded flat, and includes features like Mi-Drive modes, available Trailer Hitch View, and available Driver Personalization System on higher trims. The best way to shop the CX-70 trims is to decide whether your priority is value, stronger towing support, richer interior materials, or the highest-output Turbo S performance.

• Trim lineup Mazda lists: 3.3 Turbo Preferred, 3.3 Turbo Premium, 3.3 Turbo Premium Plus, 3.3 Turbo S Premium, 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus
• Powertrain theme Mazda lists: 3.3L inline 6 turbo engine with 48V mild hybrid support and standard i-Activ AWD

3.3 Turbo Preferred gives the lineup a strong premium starting point

The 2026 Mazda CX-70 3.3 Turbo Preferred opens the lineup with much more than a basic feature set. Mazda says this trim comes with a 48V M Hybrid Boost system paired with a 280-horsepower e-Skyactiv-G 3.3L inline 6 turbo engine and i-Activ AWD. That immediately gives the entry trim the same core performance identity that defines the rest of the CX-70 range, making it appealing for shoppers who want the SUV’s full character without moving deep into the lineup.

Mazda also gives Preferred a premium feeling cabin right from the start. Official highlights include leather-trimmed heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seating, a heated steering wheel, an eight-way power adjustable driver’s seat with power lumbar support and memory, and an eight-way power adjustable passenger seat. Standard technology includes a 12.3-inch center display, Alexa Built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay integration, wireless Android Auto integration, wireless phone charging, and multiple USB-C inputs. For many buyers, that makes Preferred the trim that already covers the essentials of comfort, style, and connected daily driving.

Preferred is also useful for understanding the design direction Mazda gives the CX-70. Mazda’s 2026 updates include gloss black exterior badging across the lineup, and the Preferred trim continues with black exterior accents that support the model’s sporty look. If exterior styling plays a big role in your decision, our Mazda CX-70 exterior guide takes a closer look at the SUV’s proportions, lighting, and visual details.

• Power Mazda lists: 280-horsepower inline 6 turbo with 48V M Hybrid Boost
• Interior features Mazda lists: Leather-trimmed heated and ventilated front seats plus heated rear seats
• Tech features Mazda lists: 12.3-inch center display, Alexa Built-in, and wireless smartphone integration

3.3 Turbo Premium is the trim to watch for towing and cabin upgrades

The 2026 Mazda CX-70 3.3 Turbo Premium builds on Preferred in ways that matter to shoppers who want more utility and a more advanced driver environment. Mazda highlights automatic power folding side mirrors, a 12.3-inch fully digital LCD Meter Display, and towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. That makes Premium a meaningful step up for buyers who know from the start that they want to use the CX-70 for more than commuting and daily errands.

This trim stands out because it strengthens the CX-70’s practical side without losing the premium feel that Mazda establishes lower in the lineup. Mazda also notes Towing Mode on equipped models, which helps the vehicle remain stable while trailering. Combined with the stronger display setup and upgraded convenience features, Premium works well for drivers who want the smoothness of the standard inline 6 mild hybrid powertrain but need more confidence for weekend gear, trailers, or longer highway travel.

If your trim decision depends heavily on cabin atmosphere and comfort, Premium is also where the CX-70 starts to feel even more tailored around the driver. The available and standard features across the lineup create a very cohesive interior story, especially when viewed through Mazda’s design-first approach to layout and material choice. Our Mazda CX-70 interior guide is a helpful next stop if cabin design is one of your top priorities.

• Towing Mazda lists: Up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped
• Display upgrade Mazda lists: 12.3-inch fully digital LCD Meter Display
• Convenience feature Mazda lists: Automatic power folding side mirrors

3.3 Turbo Premium Plus pushes the non S models into luxury territory

The 2026 Mazda CX-70 3.3 Turbo Premium Plus is the trim that gives the standard-output powertrain a more upscale personality. Mazda highlights Nappa leather-trimmed seats, a power sliding-glass panoramic moonroof with tilt feature, and a 360-degree View Monitor with See-through View and Trailer Hitch View. Those are the kinds of features that change how the CX-70 feels every day, especially if you spend a lot of time in traffic, park in tighter spaces, or simply want a more elevated cabin experience.

What makes Premium Plus especially appealing is that it keeps the 280-horsepower inline 6 setup while expanding the SUV’s luxury and convenience story. For some shoppers, that is the sweet spot in the lineup. It delivers richer materials and stronger visibility technology without asking you to move into the higher-output Turbo S side of the range. It feels like the trim for buyers who want the CX-70 to feel more premium than practical, but still appreciate the flexibility of the broader Mazda SUV formula.

Premium Plus also reflects how Mazda ties trim shopping to real use cases instead of only appearance differences. Trailer Hitch View adds practical support, the panoramic moonroof opens up the cabin visually, and the Nappa leather seating changes the impression of the entire interior.

• Camera feature Mazda lists: 360-degree View Monitor with See-through View and Trailer Hitch View

Turbo S trims are for drivers who want the strongest CX-70 personality

The 2026 Mazda CX-70 3.3 Turbo S Premium and 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus are the trims for shoppers who want the most performance-focused version of this SUV. Mazda says Turbo S models produce up to 340 horsepower and up to 369 lb-ft of torque with premium fuel, which gives the CX-70 a much stronger role in conversations about acceleration and responsive highway power. This is the side of the lineup that leans hardest into Mazda’s driver-focused identity.

The 3.3 Turbo S Premium introduces Driver Personalization System and 21-inch aluminum alloy wheels with a Black Metallic Machine Cut finish, which helps separate it visually and functionally from the standard Turbo trims. The 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus closes the lineup with tan Nappa leather-trimmed seats with quilting and suede-like interior accents, a 2-toned leather wrapped steering wheel, and front and rear ambient footwell lighting. Together, those details make the highest trims feel more tailored, more distinctive, and more premium than simply calling them performance upgrades would suggest.

For many shoppers, the Turbo S decision is about balancing want and need. If you value the stronger inline 6 output, more tailored interior themes, and top-level presentation, these are the trims that make the most sense. If you are ready to compare them side by side with the rest of the lineup, our 2026 Mazda CX-70 trims research page gives you a direct way to see how each trim’s priorities stack up.
