Tustin Mazda - Why the 2026 Mazda CX-70 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus Feels Weekend-Ready around Orange, CA
If you love the idea of a two-row SUV that drives like a refined grand tourer but still has the utility for getaways, the 2026 Mazda CX-70 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus is a standout. This flagship trim delivers an e-SKYACTIV G 3.3L Inline 6 Turbo with M-Hybrid Boost, standard i-Activ AWD®, and an 8-speed automatic that feels calm, quick, and composed. The cabin goes beyond premium with quilted Tan Nappa leather seating, a matching two-tone leather-wrapped steering wheel, and suede dash inserts with stitching and piping—materials that invite you to take the long way home. Technology is cohesive and cleverly tuned for daily life: a 12.3-inch Mazda Connect display with touch functionality when using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, wireless smartphone integration, a 12.3-inch digital driver display, Bose 12-speaker audio, Alexa Built-In, an Active Driving Display, and wireless charging.
Practical details reinforce the weekend-ready brief. The 360° View Monitor with See-Through View simplifies tight parking and trailhead maneuvers, while Trailer Hitch View makes it easier to line up for towing. A 150-watt cargo-area outlet supports campsite gear, and a windshield wiper de-icer adds cold-weather confidence. The power panoramic sunroof brightens every mile, and parking sensors detail your surroundings at low speeds. i-Activsense® rounds out the package with advanced features such as Smart Brake Support with Front Crossing and Turn-Across Traffic, Emergency Lane Keeping with Blind Spot Assist, Head-on Traffic Avoidance Assist, and more—confidence without complexity.
