This engine is expected to deliver between 300 and 325 hp, according to some sources. A plug-in hybrid powertrain using a 4-cylinder and a single AC electric motor is also in the pipeline.

This year, Mazda unveiled the all-new CX-60 for the European market, but unfortunately, this model will not be offered on the Canadian market. Mazda has always been known for its elegant, stylish vehicles, and the Mazda CX-60 is no exception. In terms of design, the CX-60 should give us an idea of what we can expect from the Mazda CX-70 and CX-90. Both cars should be luxurious and comfortable, with a modern, elegant look. Mazda has been very successful in transposing its style from one model to another, so it’s safe to say that the CX-70 and CX-90 will be no different.

Mazda has set itself an ambitious goal for these new models: to be competitive in the luxury market.

This is why the Japanese manufacturer has developed models with a longitudinal engine configuration. These changes should result in a more exciting ride and better handling. Not only will this make Mazda competitive with BMW and other brands in this segment. It will also attract new customers who want a luxury product that is fun to drive and offers an engaging driving experience.

Mazda has not yet announced a launch date for either vehicle, but has stated that the CX-90 will be the first to be unveiled by the end of the year. The manufacturer then plans to launch the CX-70 in 2023. Come to see and learn more about this incredible models of SUV in your dealership L’Ami Junior Mazda at Chicoutimi.
