Mazda CX-70 spotted!

[youri]

Saw my first CX-70 on my local dealer lot today. (The white car, the others are CX-90)

Not much else to say, other than I find that those front intake looks a lot better in photo than in person. In photos I liked the CX-70 bumper better, but in person I am not sure. In person they are pretty large and look very fake. We knew they were fake, but it is a little too obvious for my taste. The rest was pretty much exactly like a CX-90 but with the chrome blacked out (Roof rails, etc).

Nice find @youri, thanks for the share!

The intakes also have a weird blob shape. I wish they had settled on a pentagon, hexagon, maybe something familiar?

Especially since the seem to be fake. They could have been anything.

If they had just given the vents more depth, it would have looked a lot better. As they are, they look like gigantic foglight covers. The F-Pace is almost as bad with the vents, but at least the bumper and the vents have some depth.

 

[youri]

Agreed. It is the depth that is lacking. Even if only the cross pattern had more depth it would look better and more natural.

Its got the same grumpy look that my Betta fish has... When you're a twin but your sibling is more popular than you

I think all the automobiles designers go to the same party often.

I kinda dig it from an overall styling prospective…I didn’t even notice it in this official pic that @Ninja_Matt posted in another thread…

Seems like a part/area that would be easy to change/upgrade/modify etc…Even make functional…

I went yesterday to my Mazda dealer on the west coast of Canada to book an appointment and check a few other things and their parking lot was packed with brand new cars, including some grassy areas on the edge of the actual lot. In terms of numbers CX-5, then CX-50 and next CX-90 (plenty of them). Also spotted several CX-70, so I guess they just received big shipment of them.

Interesting that Mazda keeps coming back to the honeycomb grill design. My old Mazda 3 2008 had it, then for a while they moved in different direction, then returned with similar design when they introduced 1st gen Mazda CX-5 then again they started experimenting with other ideas and now it's back again in pure form with CX-70.
