Mazda CX-70 vs Nissan Murano
Mazda’s two-row midsize SUV: an inline-six making up to 340 hp and 369 lb-ft on premium fuel, 39.6 cu ft behind the second row, 5,000 lbs of towing and i-ACTIV AWD® on every trim. This page sets the CX-70’s sourced specifications beside a two-row midsize SUV it is cross-shopped with, one row at a time, with the source and the model year named on every row.
Mazda CX-70 vs Nissan Murano
This is the closest match in the CX-70’s research — two two-row midsize SUVs, both all-wheel drive as standard — and it is also the comparison where the sourced figures fall furthest apart. The CX-70 carries more horsepower and more torque than the Nissan Murano, tows more than three times as much, holds more behind its second row, and is rated higher on EPA combined mileage. Five rows is more than any other page in this family publishes, so it is worth saying what it does not mean: all-wheel drive is standard on both and is deliberately not a row, and a table with five check marks is still only five specifications rather than a verdict on the car. Each row below names its source and the model year that source describes.
Every row above names its source and the model year that source describes; verification of a comparison is the dealer’s responsibility. Competitor figures are that manufacturer’s own published specifications for the model year shown. Rows the CX-70 does not lead are recorded in our research and are not published here, and no price row appears at all — competitor MSRPs are published excluding destination while Mazda’s include it, so no like-for-like price comparison exists.
The Mazda CX-70 in Mobile, AL
Two Rows of Seats, and Where the Difference Actually Lives
The 2026 CX-70 runs from 280 hp to 340 hp with the 3.3 Turbo S on premium fuel and makes 369 lb-ft, is EPA-rated at 25 mpg combined, holds 39.6 cu ft behind its second row and 75.3 cu ft folded, and tows up to 5,000 lbs properly equipped. Against the two-row midsize SUV compared here the towing row is the widest margin by far, and it is the one worth understanding rather than skimming: a tow rating is a function of structure and cooling rather than of horsepower, and it is the row that decides whether a trailer is on the table at all. The mileage row, by contrast, is a margin of two, and both figures are printed so you can see that.
How to Read This Comparison
Every figure in the table above carries a source and the model year that source describes. Mazda’s guidelines put verification of a comparison on the dealer, so a row that could not be sourced to a manufacturer publication is left out rather than estimated, and a row the CX-70 does not lead is recorded in our research and not published here. Ask us for the documentation behind any row and we will show it to you.
CX-70 Comparison Questions
How much can the Mazda CX-70 tow?⌄
Up to 5,000 lbs with the available towing package, properly equipped. It is the widest of the five margins in the comparison above — the two-row midsize SUV compared here is rated at well under half that.
Why is all-wheel drive not one of the rows above?⌄
Because both vehicles make it standard. i-ACTIV AWD® is fitted to every 2026 CX-70 trim, and every published configuration of the SUV compared here is all-wheel drive too. A tie is not a difference worth publishing, so it stays in our research.
