Mercedes-AMG GLC 43: Fighting Old Maine Winter in Performance Style

A performance crossover might not be everyone’s can of Red Bull. Some might suggest a performance CUV is akin to the world’s tallest midget, but this week co-host Chris Teague took the wheel of the hot-to-trot AMG GLC 43 in the teeth of yet another frigid Maine winter, and he’s ready to report on his finding in this edition on of America on the Road. Meanwhile, the figurative elephant in the room…

"Le véhicule est solide, luxueux et mérite toute l’attention qu’on lui donne. Il ne reste à Mazda qu’à aplanir les petits reproches qu’on fait à la mécanique hybride rechargeable et le manufacturier d’Hiroshima aura un autre véhicule digne d’un constructeur généraliste premium!"

2025 MAZDA CX-70 PHEV REVIEW

Mazda's CX-70: Luxury Downsized or Just a CX-90 in Disguise?_NEWS from Test Miles on Vimeo.

Mazda has decided to make a bold move with its latest offering, the 2025 Mazda CX-70, shrinking the larger CX-90's ambitious design into what may just be the right size for those not needing a caravan-sized vehicle. Priced between $40,445 and $55,950, this mid-size luxury SUV straddles the fine line between the more compact CX-50 and its bigger brother, the CX-90, seemingly tailored for those who've bid farewell to the bustling household era and now revel in the quiet after the storm.

At the heart of the CX-70's charm is a choice of two engines. The traditionalists can opt for the robust 3.3-liter six-cylinder, or, for the eco-minded, a plug-in hybrid that promises efficiency with a 2.5-liter engine paired with an electric motor, whipping up 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. The latter not only caters to the green-hearted but does so with gusto, boasting up to 56 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe) and covering 26 miles purely on electric zeal—a perfect companion for city sprints and countryside jaunts alike.

As we delve deeper, the CX-70, which begins at a premium entry price of $54,400 for the PHEV Premium trim, doesn’t shy away from showing off its sophisticated attire. Available in eye-catching hues like Soul Red Crystal and Zircon Sand Metallic, it stands proudly on available 21-inch wheels, framed by a striking wide front fascia and black contrasting accents. It's quite the looker but doesn't just play to the gallery. Inside, the cabin mirrors the upscale ambiance of the CX-90, adorned with options such as black upholstery festooned with gold stitching or sumptuous red Nappa leather, all underpinned by Mazda’s commitment to ergonomic and aesthetic finesse.

But it's not just about looks or lounging in luxury. The CX-70 is as practical as it is plush. Absent a third row, it offers a spacious cargo area, complete with remote-folding rear seats and hooks for bags—ideal for those who travel with more than just a briefcase. The technological suite is nothing to scoff at either. A 12.3-inch central infotainment display ensures connectivity and control are at your fingertips, featuring wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an array of driver-assistance systems including radar cruise control and a novel unresponsive driver support system.

Competing head-on with the likes of the Honda Passport and Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid, Mazda’s trimmed-down transporter raises a compelling argument: does bigger necessarily mean better? In the arena of mid-sized SUVs, where every inch and option is scrutinized, the CX-70 presents a contrarian viewpoint that less might indeed be more, particularly for the discerning empty nester or the environmentally conscious driver.

Despite some naysayers describing the CX-70 as a possibly lukewarm makeover of the CX-90, the optimism surrounding its driving dynamics and high-quality interior suggests that Mazda may just have trimmed the fat rather than the muscle. So, while it might not be reinventing the wheel, with the CX-70, Mazda reinforces that sometimes, a little less is exactly enough.

The quirky Mazda MX-30 EV is being pulled from the US market after just two model years. Low demand and limited range have led Mazda to cancel the electric SUV. Instead, the automaker will emphasize plug-in hybrids going forward. Here's an in-depth look at why Mazda is killing off the MX-30 EV: Highlights Mazda discontinuing MX-30 EV in America after 2023 model year Cites low sales and focus shifting to plug-in hybrids MX-30 had only 100 miles of range, limiting appeal Global MX-30 will continue as a range-extender hybrid Mazda's new strategy centers on CX-90 and CX-70 PHEVs Rotary range-extender hybrid still possible for future Doomed by Limited Range The demise of the MX-30 in America stems largely from its compact 32 kWh battery pack. This allowed for only 100 miles of driving range. For comparison, most rivals offer 200+ miles of range: Nissan Leaf: 149-226 miles Kia Niro EV: 239 miles Volkswagen ID.4: 260 miles With range anxiety a major concern for EV buyers, the MX-30's limited capacity crippled its appeal. A modest 143 horsepower electric motor further hampered driving dynamics. MX-30 sales fell far short of expectations: 2021: 181 units 2022: 324 units 2023 (through June): 66 units Lackluster range meant interest in the MX-30 remained minimal outside of eco-conscious early adopters. Global MX-30 Adopts Range Extender While cancelled in America, the MX-30 will live on globally with a novel range extender option. The MX-30 R-EV couples a small 17.8 kWh battery pack with a rotary engine acting as a generator. When the battery depletes, the rotary automatically recharges it - extending driving range. This allows about 200 miles of total range. The rotary range extender is currently only offered overseas, but Mazda may bring it to America in the future. A production decision has not been finalized yet. Mazda Pivots to Plug-In Hybrids Rather than pure EVs, Mazda says its focus in America is shifting to plug-in hybrid models. The freshly launched CX-90 PHEV crossover provides 26 miles of electric driving before its gas engine kicks in. An upcoming CX-70 PHEV will offer similar capabilities in a smaller package. For customers not ready to go fully electric, PHEVs offer a compromise with reduced emissions during around-town driving. What Does This Mean for Mazda EVs? Mazda still plans to introduce battery electric vehicles in the future. The MX-30 cancellation does not impact those long-term plans. Expected upcoming Mazda EVs: Subcompact crossover below CX-30 Lightweight RWD platform for sporty coupe Next-generation Mazda3 and CX-5 EVs However, limited demand for the MX-30 prompted Mazda to postpone their first global EV push. Instead, plug-in hybrids will pave the way as customer acceptance grows. FAQs Why was the MX-30 discontinued so quickly? Low sales due to its limited range led Mazda to pull the plug after just two model years. Does this mean Mazda is giving up on EVs? No, Mazda says future EVs are still coming, just not in the immediate future. The MX-30 cancellation was specific to that model. Is the rotary range-extender still coming to America? Possibly, but Mazda has made no formal decision on bringing the MX-30 hybrid to the US yet. What PHEV models is Mazda introducing? The plug-in hybrid CX-90 launched for 2023, followed by the upcoming CX-70 PHEV in 2024. What will replace the MX-30 in Mazda's lineup? It's unconfirmed, but Mazda may eventually introduce a fully electric subcompact crossover below the CX-30 model. The Takeaway While the quirky MX-30 EV is gone in America, its plug-in hybrid variant continues overseas. For now, Mazda is focused on plug-in hybrids like the CX-90 and CX-70. This allows a gradual transition to electrification based on current customer demand. But the MX-30 cancellation doesn't alter Mazda's long-term EV strategy.

When the market expands further, Mazda will be prepared with improved battery-electric vehicles. #Wiack #Car #CarInsurance #CarRental #CarPrice #AutoLoans
