Mazda’s sport utilities don’t fall into the premium segment, but their glossy looks and typically higher-quality interior finishes give them that extra edge (without breaking the bank). With the newly introduced 2025 CX-70, a new hybrid-powered CX-50, and redesigned CX-90 full-size hauler in 2024, the Japanese automaker’s SUV lineup continues to grow. Here are all the latest models.
Mazda CX-30 – Subcompact SUV
Key features:
Alexa Built-in integration optional for 2025
The sporty MX-5 Miata’s Aero Gray Metallic comes to the CX-30
Every CX-30 now standard i-Activ all-wheel drive and G-Vectoring Control Plus
Mazda may have killed off the electric and hybrid MX-30 subcompact in the US just two years into production (yet it is still available in Canada). Still, the company’s CX-30 has been going strong since it first debuted in 2019 and shows no signs of slowing down. The agile CUV stands out with its refined design and engaging driving dynamics, making it a compelling choice for those seeking style and performance in a smaller package.
For 2025, Mazda will equip every CX-30 with standard i-Activ all-wheel drive and G-Vectoring Control Plus. Under the hood, expect a 2.5L Skyactiv-G engine with 191 horsepower for its standard models, while the Turbo trims boost output to 250 horsepower (with premium fuel). Also new for 2025 is an improved Carbon Edition, featuring a Polymetal Gray Metallic exterior, red leather seats, and gloss black accents. Additionally, Mazda adds exterior colours, including Zircon Sand Metallic and Platinum Quartz Metallic.
Mazda CX-5 – Compact Crossver SUV
Key features:
The 2.5 S model returns for 2025
More standard interior features, including dual front USB-C ports
Updated Carbon Edition
The Mazda CX-5 stands out in the crowded compact SUV segment, blending athletic handling with a refined interior that punches well above its class. For 2025, it remains one of the few models in its category to offer standard i-Activ all-wheel drive, ensuring confidence in various driving conditions. Its premium cabin and precise steering make it a top choice for those seeking a more engaging compact crossover.
Under the hood, the CX-5 is powered by a 187-hp Skyactiv-G 2.5L naturally aspirated engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. New for 2025 is an updated Carbon Edition, adding a Polymetal Gray Metallic exterior, red leather seats, and gloss black accents for a sporty look. Also fresh for this model year are two new exterior colours, Zircon Sand Metallic and Platinum Quartz Metallic.
Mazda CX-50 – Compact SUV
Key features:
New hybrid CX-50 for 2025
Standard Mazda Intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) includes off-road and towing modes
Refined interior and cargo space, including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Expect the CX-50 to offer a more spacious interior and broader stance compared to the CX-5. Plus, the CX-50 lineup is expanding with a hybrid variant. This model combines a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine with a hybrid system, delivering a total of 219 horsepower and an EPA-estimated combined 38 mpg.
Based on our review of the 2025 hybrid, we liked the new CX-50’s high-tech content, capabilities for soft-roading, and terrific fuel economy with the hybrid model. But it fell short in other ways: it’s not as fun to drive, the touchscreen is too far from the driver, and the hybrid version makes the base CX-50 less interesting.

Mazda CX-70 – Mid-Size SUV
Key features:
A first-ever Mazda SUV and first Mazda with Alexa
Three electrified powertrain options
Sub-trunk design to hide valuables in trunk
While it’s a new mid-size SUV, the first-ever 2025 CX-70 remains a two-row model (you’ll need to jump up to CX-90 for a proper 8-passenger variant). Still, this newcomer promises top features, including three electrified powertrain options including two versions based on the e-SkyActiv G 3.3L Inline 6 Turbo engine, and the other is an M-Hybrid Boost or an e-SkyActiv G PHEV.
Riding on optional black metal and machine-cut finished 21-inch wheels, the CX-70’s interior features remote-folding rear seats, an optimized rear cargo area with extra storage solutions, including a handy sub-trunk design to hide valuables, and Alexa, which is a Mazda-first. Overall, the interior has a more premium look and feel with high-quality materials and finishes, including the contrast of gray metallic inlays.

Mazda CX-90 – Full-Size SUV
Key features:
Hybrid-only model as of 2023 (no more UX 200)
New 2025 UX 300h powered by fifth-gen hybrid system
Copper Crest exterior colour new for 2025
Like its smaller CX-70 sibling, the CX-90 is a new offering from Mazda. Here’s our full 2024 CX-90 first-look preview. It’s the company’s first plug-in hybrid in North America with a market-specific e-Skyactiv G powertrain under the hood mounted lengthwise and connected through an eight-speed transmission to rear-wheel drive (Canadian vehicles will be available in “rear-biased” AWD only).
Inside, the lacey open stitching on the horizontally oriented dash looks a bit like a crocheted tablecloth, although designers say it’s meant to mimic the Japanese weaving technique of Kimihimo. It is as understated as you would expect a premium vehicle to be. The overall effect is spaciousness and calm. Other interior details include a 12.4-inch (31-cm) centre display, real burled Maple wood trim on the doors and spacious centre console, and Nappa leather seat fronts on the high trim levels.
