This week we are looking at how the CX-70 works as a family car with a small bub. We drove the GT version, which comes packed with comfort, safety and luxury features.

It’s pretty much the same as the CX-90 but with only five seats and two trim levels. Also, as a five seat SUV the boot space is huge.

This is a large SUV yet manages to look smaller than it is. It’s quite stylish and lots of mums have commented how good it looks,

Inside the CX-70 the first impression is of space and comfort. That ticks  few boxes for mums straight away.

Wide opening doors allowed easy access for placing bub in the baby seat. Installing the baby seat is easy with isofix and top tether points. There is still plenty of room for the front seat passenger.

Zoned air conditioning allows drivers to tailor the airflow to the back for more comfort.

Also, if you need to sit beside your bub as your driving, its quite spacious, which means you are relaxed and comfortable.

Being a five seat SUV, the boot space is absolutely huge. It easily fits all the baby gear like pram, nappy bag, with room to spare.

I drove the top spec Azami with the SP option pack. This adds luxury and comfort features like:

• 21 inch alloy wheels,
• Gloss black exterior highlights
• Tan Nappa leather seat trim
• Suede finish on the dash and two tone colour steering wheel.

It certainly adds some pizzaz to the interior.

The CX-70 comes with either  a 3.3 litre mild hybrid petrol or diesel engine. Both are suitable and provide plenty or performance and the diesel has much better economy. That’s what I drove and I really appreciated the driving style.

The CX-70 Azami is quite large but doesn’t feel like it while driving. It is easy to park in tight suburban car parks. I also like the styling.

There is plenty of room for both front seat occupants and you feel comfortable immediately.

Rear seats have reasonable leg , knee and head room. There are two isofix and top tether points for a baby seat. Being a five-seat model, the boot space is huge and there is plenty of room for luggage or baby stroller and more.

Priced from a little under $89,000 dollars plus the usual costs it’s a touch expensive. The quality is there but the question is, will people spend that much on a Mazda SUV.

I would.
