CX-70 Release Date: Updated Launch & Arrival
Midsize SUV shoppers hoping to see the CX-70 release date before the end of 2023 will have to wait a bit longer. According to sources at Mazda, the Mazda CX-70 release date has been delayed several months.
Here’s by how much, and when to expect Mazda CX-70 availability near you:
Mazda CX-70 Launch Delayed by Months
Mazda has decided to delay the upcoming CX-70 release date by about five months. This all-new midsize two-row SUV model was initially expected by SUV buyers — and scheduled by Mazda — to arrive in the second half of 2023, likely in the fourth quarter.
However, the CX-70 launch date has been pushed back several months, meaning that this highly anticipated Mazda SUV model will now arrive in early spring of 2024 instead.
First-Ever CX-70 Mazda SUV Arrives in Early Spring 2024
The CX-70 was originally intended to arrive as a 2024 model within the same calendar year as its new premium Mazda midsize SUV stablemate, the 2024 Mazda CX-90 three-row model. But according to sources, there will no longer be a 2024 Mazda CX-70 release date.
Instead, the first-ever CX-70 will be marketed and sold as a 2025 model when it arrives in early 2024.
As we suspected in our original Mazda CX-70 release date coverage, it seems Mazda wants to put enough space between the launches of the 2024 CX-90 three-row model and the upcoming 2025 CX-70 two-row model. The CX-90 has been well-received and, along with the CX-50 compact SUV, has helped the automaker drive sales and return to profitability in the latest quarter.
Perhaps Mazda feels the three-row model deserves a bit more time in the limelight before its shorter-wheelbase variant arrives in the form of the first-ever CX-70. With strong sales of the CX-90 so far, it’s understandable why the carmaker decided to delay its next big model launch several months until early spring of 2024.
Still, this likely isn’t the news potential CX-70 buyers wanted to hear. If there’s good news to share, it’s that the start of Mazda CX-70 production is just around the corner.
2025 Mazda CX-70 Production to Begin in Late 2023
According to the latest from Mazda sources, CX-70 production will begin in December 2023 for an early 2024 ship date to a Mazda dealer near you. That is if you’re located in one of the markets receiving the CX-70 instead of the already released CX-60.
With the CX-70 release date now falling roughly a year after the 2024 Mazda CX-90 three-row model arrived in early 2023, it’s no wonder why Mazda also decided to update the upcoming SUV from a 2024 to a 2025 model.
We’ll be going into more depth as to why Mazda delayed the CX-70 release date shortly, but we first wanted to update you on the latest CX-70 news concerning its availability.
Like many of you, we’ll eagerly await the arrival of the 2025 Mazda CX-70 to join the rest of the Mazda SUV lineup in the early spring of 2024. Until then, stay tuned to the MazdaMotoring blog for further updates, along with other Mazda news, opinions, reviews, comparisons, and more.
