Seating Capacity and Versatility
One of the few differences between the 2025 CX-70 and the 2025 CX-90 is the seating capacity. The CX-70 is a two-row midsize SUV with spacious seating for up to five people, while the CX-90 is ideal for larger families and seats up to seven or eight people, thanks to its third row. You’ll get the maximum passenger capacity with the base Select model, which features 60/40-split folding and reclining second-row seats.
Cargo Volume and Features
With all seats in place, the CX-70 is the clear winner when it comes to cargo volume, with a 39.6 cubic foot capacity behind the second row compared to 14.9 cu.ft. behind the third row of the CX-90. However, with the third row folded, the capacity is almost identical, with the CX-90 boasting a full 40 cubes of space. The maximum volume behind the front seats is also competitive, with 75.3 cu.ft. in the CX-70 and 74.2 in the CX-90.
Remote electronic second-row seatback release is standard in the CX-70’s cargo area, and both offer storage boxes and under-floor storage to help organize and secure your belongings.
Towing Capacity
Both the CX-70 and CX-90 offer the option to tow trailers weighing up to 3,500 lbs with the base configurations. You’ll only need to go one step up above the base model to the Premium trim of the CX-70 to unlock a 5,000-lb capacity or upgrade to the CX-90’s Premium Sport model.
Luxurious Amenities
When it comes to comfort and convenience features, both the CX-70 and CX-90 come loaded with many similar standard amenities like tri-zone automatic climate control, a power liftgate with a programmable height adjustment, and cruise control with Stop and Go. Only the CX-70 offers standard heated front seats, a power-sliding moonroof, and a 12.3-inch infotainment display in the base model, while the base CX-90 comes with an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar and a 10.25-inch center screen.
With so many incredible features, both the CX-70 and CX-90 are great options for modern drivers. The CX-90 is best for large families, while the CX-70 offers the most standard luxury features.
