The GT trim level marks the entry point to the new CX-70 range, but it’s actually more of a mid-tier grade, as opposed to a true entry-level car (or what Mazda would call a Pure).
You can have one of two engines in the CX-70 GT, with the cheapest being a 3.3-litre, six-cylinder turbo-petrol ($75,970), producing 254kW and 500Nm. There's also a 3.3-litre, six-cylinder turbo-diesel ($77,970), making 187kW and 550Nm. Both are equipped with a 48-volt mild hybrid system to marginally reduce fuel use.
That is a considerable starting price, I know, but Mazda has thrown plenty at the CX-70 GT to increase the value proposition, including 21-inch black alloy wheels, adaptive LED headlights, a panoramic sunroof and a handsfree powered tailgate.
Inside, there are twin 12.3-inch screens with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 12-speaker Bose stereo, leather seats that are heated front and rear, three-zone climate control and a heated steering wheel.
The CX-70 GT measures a substantial 5120mm long, 1994mm wide, and 1745mm tall, and it rides on a 3120mm wheelbase.
It will tow 2.5 tonnes no matter which engine you choose, and the expansive boot will swallow between 589 litres and 2015 litres, depending on how you configure the backseat.
All of that space translates to a hugely airy backseat experience, with the second row able to be fixed in a position that either prioritises leg room or boot space
