The CX-70 is essentially a two-row variant of the CX-90. It uses the same components, including a mild hybrid powertrain built around a turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine, as well as a plug-in hybrid powertrain based on a naturally aspirated four-cylinder. Alas, the CX-70 suffers from the same problems as its big brother. Notably, hesitations from the transmission have generated numerous complaints from owners. On the other hand, driving dynamics surpass those of its rivals.

- Undeniable style and refinement
- Safe and inspired driving, great hybrid engine
