CardinaleWay Mazda Las Vegas - Is i-Activ AWD® standard on the 2026 Mazda CX-70 for Boulder City, NV drivers?
Yes—i-Activ AWD® is standard across every 2026 Mazda CX-70. That single fact explains a lot about the vehicle’s confident character, especially for Boulder City, NV drivers who regularly move between town, highway, and recreational routes. Mazda’s predictive all-wheel-drive system continuously monitors wheel speed, steering inputs, temperature, and more to apportion torque proactively. The result is a natural, sure-footed feel, whether you’re pulling out from a side street on sand-dusted pavement or carving a gentle arc up the hill on US-93.
The system’s value compounds with Mi-Drive. Sport mode sharpens responses for quicker transitions, Off-Road mode fine-tunes traction on loose or uneven surfaces, and trims with available Towing mode add an extra layer of stability when you hitch up. Kinematic Posture Control subtly manages body motion in corners, helping the CX-70 feel poised and settled without harshness. Put together, the powertrain and chassis stack the deck in your favor—flowing from parking lots to scenic turnouts with reassuring composure.
- Standard confidence: i-Activ AWD® is included on every 2026 Mazda CX-70—no guesswork, no add-ons required.
- Mode-driven adaptability: Mi-Drive’s Sport, Off-Road, and available Towing settings tailor the vehicle’s responses to your route.
- Chassis harmony: Kinematic Posture Control helps the CX-70 feel balanced in real-world driving.
Technology supports the drive in other meaningful ways, too. The 12.3-inch Mazda Connect center display adds touch functionality when using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and Alexa Built-in lets you control media, navigation, or smart home devices by voice. Upper trims pack a 12.3-inch fully digital driver’s display, Bose 12-speaker premium audio, and a 360° View Monitor with See-Through View to ease parking on narrow downtown streets or in trailhead lots. The available Trailer Hitch View is a standout if you plan to haul gear or a small camper.
For drivers who split their time between day-to-day errands and weekend escapes, the e-SKYACTIV PHEV is worth a look. Its EPA-estimated 30-mile EV range covers short commutes quietly and efficiently, yet it retains the same standard i-Activ AWD® and well-balanced handling you’ll find in the turbo inline-six models. And because Mazda tuned the CX-70 to feel cohesive regardless of powertrain, you can choose based on your charging access and driving mix without sacrificing road feel.
