Mazda Australia is expanding its SUV range later this year to include a new pair of new large SUVs.
That will make Australia the only market to offer all four vehicles on the brand’s rear/all-wheel drive Large Architecture.
The two-row CX-60, aimed at markets like Europe and Japan, was launched here last year, followed by the three-row CX-90 developed for markets like North America.
They’ll be joined before the end of the year by the CX-70, a two-row companion to the CX-90; and the CX-80, a stretched, three-row version of the CX-60.
Mazda Australia has only released limited information on the local-market CX-70 and CX-80. There’s no pricing yet, while we only know a handful of specification details.
Even with the CX-9 gone and the CX-8 in runout, Mazda’s local SUV range will still be larger than it was 12 months ago.
You may be confused as to just how these similarly sized, styled and named SUVs sit alongside each other. We’ve therefore assembled available technical specifications to help you make sense of Mazda’s new range of more premium SUVs.
Pricing
Mazda Australia has yet to confirm pricing for the CX-70 and CX-80, but CX-60 and CX-90 pricing is below:
CX-60

Powertrains

Thus far, all models in this family introduced to Australia have come here exclusively with rear-biased all-wheel drive, though rear-wheel drive CX-60s are available in some markets.

CX-70
While Mazda Australia hasn’t released full specifications for the local-market CX-70, it has confirmed it will offer 3.3-litre turbocharged e-Skyactiv inline six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines.
The plug-in hybrid offered in North America has yet to be confirmed, though we’re getting the diesel engine that that market misses out on. It’s likely to be the same tune as the CX-90 detailed further below.
The CX-70 is currently offered in North America with the following powertrains:
| Petrol | High Output petrol | PHEV | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine | 3.3L inline-six 48V mild-hybrid | 3.3L inline-six 48V mild-hybrid | 2.5L four-cylinder PHEV |
| Engine power | 209kW @ 5000-6000rpm | 254kW @ 5000-6000rpm | 141kW at 6000rpm |

| Electric motor torque | 153Nm | 153Nm | 270Nm |
| Total system power | – | – | 241kW at 6000rpm |
| Total system torque | – | – | 500Nm at 4000rpm |
| Battery capacity | 0.33kWh li-ion | 0.33kWh li-ion | 17.8kWh li-ion |
CX-80
The CX-80 will be offered here with a choice of petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid powertrains.
As with the CX-70, Mazda Australia hasn’t released complete local specifications, leaving us to look at the European-market CX-80 in this case to fill in some gaps.
A petrol-powered CX-80 isn’t offered in Europe, but it seems likely the petrol model here will use the same powertrain as the CX-60 detailed above.
| Diesel | PHEV | |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | 3.3L inline-six 48V mild-hybrid | 2.5L four-cylinder PHEV |
| Engine power | 187kW | 141kW |
| Engine torque | 550Nm | 260Nm |
| Electric motor power | 12kW | 129kW |
| Electric motor torque | 153Nm | 270Nm |
| Total system power | – | 241kW |
| Total system torque | – | 500Nm |
| Electric range | – | 60km |
CX-90
The CX-90 is also offered with the same PHEV powertrain as the CX-70.
Mazda Australia has yet to announce launch timing for the PHEV powertrain, but intends to offer it here.
Australian-market CX-90 specifications are below:
| Petrol | Diesel | |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | 3.3L inline-six 48V mild-hybrid | 3.3L inline-six 48V mild-hybrid |
| Engine power | 254kW @ 5000-6000rpm | 187kW @ 3750rpm |
| Engine torque | 500Nm @ 2000-4500rpm | 550Nm @ 1500-2400rpm |
| Fuel economy (combined) | 8.2L/100km | 5.4L/100km |
| Fuel type | 95 octane premium unleaded | Diesel |
