MAZDA 2024 SUV Lineup vs. Today: What Has Changed Since Then?

Cross-shopping a Mazda 2024 SUV against the current crossovers means tracking real structural changes, not a refreshed grille, and North Penn Mazda fields that question constantly. One nameplate joined the lineup, one hybrid arrived, and one core model moved to a new generation. Sorting out which is which keeps you from paying new-generation money for an older platform.

The MAZDA CX-70 Filled the Two-Row Gap

For 2024, the large-SUV slot belonged to the three-row Mazda CX-90 alone. The Mazda CX-70 arrived for 2025 as a two-row version on the same platform, trading the third row for cargo length. Both use the e-SKYACTIV® G 3.3-liter inline-six, rated at up to 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft when using premium fuel.

A MAZDA Hybrid Joined the Compact Ranks

The Mazda CX-50 was gas-only through 2024. The Mazda CX-50 Hybrid followed for 2025, pairing a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with electric motors for up to 219 total system horsepower and standard electronic all-wheel drive. The Mazda CX-30 carried over as the smallest crossover across both periods.

The Third-Generation MAZDA CX-5 Changed the Most

A Mazda CX-5 from 2024 is a second-generation vehicle; the 2026 redesign made it effectively a new Mazda model, 4.5 inches longer in both overall length and wheelbase. Cargo length grew nearly two inches, and an available 15.6-inch touchscreen replaced the previous display. Its launch engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that produces 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque with standard i-Activ AWD®.
