2025 Mazda CX-70 Nominated in Two Categories by the AJAC: What Regina Drivers Need to Know
January 20 2025,
The 2025 Mazda CX-70 has earned prestigious recognition from the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC), securing positions as one of the best Canadian Utility Vehicles and Electric Utility Vehicles of the Year. This dual recognition for both the Mild Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid variants highlights the exceptional versatility that Regina drivers can expect from Mazda's newest SUV.
For Saskatchewan drivers seeking a premium two-row SUV that combines space, capability, and efficiency, the CX-70 introduces three distinct electrified powertrain options. Each version delivers the performance and reliability needed for Regina's diverse driving conditions, from winter commutes to summer adventures.
Powertrains and Performance
The 2025 CX-70 lineup starts at $49,750 for the Mild Hybrid variant, featuring the e-Skyactiv G 3.3L Inline 6 Turbo with 48-volt hybrid technology. The plug-in hybrid version, starting at $58,750, offers enhanced efficiency for urban commuting. Both powertrains work alongside an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard i-Activ all-wheel drive, providing confident handling in Saskatchewan's challenging weather conditions.
Regina drivers will appreciate the CX-70's 5,000-pound towing capacity, making it ideal for hauling boats to nearby lakes or camping trailers to provincial parks. The Mazda Intelligent Drive Select system offers specialized modes including Normal, Sport, Off-Road, and Towing, with EV mode available on plug-in hybrid models.
Advanced Technology and Safety
The 2025 Mazda CX-70 introduces Amazon Alexa built-in capabilities, allowing Regina drivers to control various vehicle functions through voice commands. This technology reduces distraction during winter driving conditions when hands need to stay firmly on the wheel. The new Private eCall emergency system and Stolen Vehicle Assistance provide additional peace of mind for urban and rural driving throughout Saskatchewan.
Standard equipment includes wireless phone charging and a Bose premium audio system, creating a refined atmosphere for both daily commutes and long-distance travel. The comprehensive i-Activsense safety suite helps protect you and your passengers in all driving conditions.
Space and Versatility
As Mazda's largest two-row crossover, the CX-70 offers generous cargo space without compromising on comfort. The purposefully designed interior provides flexible storage solutions for everything from weekly grocery runs to seasonal sports equipment. Saskatchewan families will find the spacious cabin particularly useful during winter months when bulky cold-weather gear is essential.
