The CX-70's replacement out-torques the Passport and undercuts the TrailSport by $3,065. Honda answers with 9.6 inches of clearance, more known cargo space, and final EPA numbers.

Two Premium Sport trims drop the third row and replace the CX-70, but the cheapest two-row CX-90 costs $4,130 more than the CX-70 did, and there is no two-row PHEV.

The Kia starts $1,100 cheaper, but the all-wheel-drive Mazda undercuts its AWD rival. The real difference is a hybrid Mazda still can't offer.

The entry 2.5 S stays at $29,990 while higher trims rise $150–$550. Google's Gemini is now on every version, but the compact SUV remains gas-only for now.
