Mazda CX-70 Named “Best 2-Row Midsize SUV for Families” by U.S. News & World Report

Well, well, well….would you look at that? The new kid on the midsize SUV block is actually a very compelling option for family-conscious owners. Debuting in 2024, the first-ever Mazda CX-70 has been racking up prestigious awards left and right.

This past March alone, the CX-70 was not only named the Best 2-Row Midsize SUV for Families by US. News & World Report, but it was also awarded a TOP Safety Pick+ by the IIHS.

So whether you're zooming around with the kids, the pups, the groceries, or just looking for a spacious SUV that doesn’t sacrifice fun for function, the 2025 CX-70 is available today at Classic Mazda.

2027 CX-5 Hybrid Has Been Spotted in Camouflage

Nope, that’s not John Cena hiding from your screen, that’s the 2027 Mazda CX-5 Hybrid spotted via spy photos being driven around cities!

So, what’s new? At first glance, the 2027 Mazda CX-5 might seem familiar, but look closer and you’ll notice some fresh design tweaks such as a new headlight shape that sticks to Mazda’s sleek design language.

Also in the front, we can see some bold verticality with its larger grill and black trim underneath, adding a layer of toughness.

Out back, the new taillights flare at the edges—kind of like the handles of a Jet Ski or a motorcycle, suggesting a more aggressive stance for the 2027 CX-5 Hybrid.

We can confirm that the new 2027 CX-5 Hybrid plans to use Mazda’s newly developed in-house Hybrid system and the next generation of SKYACTIV® gas engines, the Skyactiv-Z (4-cylinder engine).

Stay tuned with Classic Mazda to get the most up to date details on the next-gen 2027 CX-5 Hybrid!

First to the Finish, Season 1, is Available Now!

The first three episodes are available now with more coming April 15th!

First to the Finish follows the journeys of rising female drivers Sally Mott and Heather Hadley, alongside BSI Racing team owner Shea Holbrook through the 2024 MX-5 Cup season.

We get to meet the leading ladies’ families and see how each pro was uniquely brought up in the male-dominated scene that is professional motorsports. After watching the first episode and a half, I had to slow myself down because I didn’t want to wait until April 15th for the next episodes!

Watch it now on Prime Video streaming and then come meet Shea and other members of BSI Racing in person at Classic Mazda during the 17th Annual Race Exhibition Event on April 12th!

And then guess what? The next half of the season will be available three days later on April 15th! Now, THAT is what we call serendipity.
