Planning to tow a small camper or a pair of personal watercraft? The 2026 Mazda CX-70 brings the right mix of power, control, and technology to make towing feel natural, even when maneuvering in tight spaces. With the proper configuration and Mazda Genuine Towing Accessories, certain CX-70 models can tow up to 5,000 lbs, and select trims include a Towing mode within Mi-Drive to optimize throttle response and shift mapping when you are hitched and ready. Standard i-Activ AWD works in the background to help you find grip on wet ramps or gravel driveways, while available visibility tech such as a 360° View Monitor with Trailer Hitch View helps align your connection with confidence.

Under the hood, you can choose the e-SKYACTIV G 3.3L Inline 6 Turbo with M-Hybrid Boost or step up to the Turbo S for more power. Both pair beautifully with the CX-70’s eight-speed automatic and chassis tuning informed by Kinematic Posture Control — technology that helps keep the SUV feeling settled and composed, even as weight shifts under load. If you expect to tow frequently and want extra convenience, look at trims that add an available hands-free power liftgate for loading coolers and gear, plus Active Driving Display and a fully digital 12.3-inch driver’s display to keep the critical info you need easily in view.

• Powertrain choice: The e-SKYACTIV G 3.3L Inline 6 Turbo delivers strong torque; Turbo S trims increase output for even more confident acceleration onto the highway.
• Towing optimization: Mi-Drive’s Towing mode, available on select trims, fine-tunes the powertrain’s behavior when hitched.
• Visibility helpers: An available 360° View Monitor with Trailer Hitch View simplifies alignment and low-speed maneuvering.
• All-weather control: Standard i-Activ AWD supports traction when launching on slick ramps or navigating uneven surfaces.
• Cargo flexibility: Remote-folding rear seats, a sub-trunk, and a power liftgate help you organize and secure tools, straps, and weekend essentials.

Towing is about more than a big number — it is about predictable responses and clear feedback. That is where the CX-70’s calibrated controls and thoughtful features shine. You feel the difference during a long uphill merge or while threading into a campsite at dusk. Add available conveniences like heated mirrors, front and rear parking sensors, and an upgraded Bose 12-speaker audio system for road-trip comfort, and you have a tow partner that performs well Monday through Sunday.
