The Tuscaloosa Experience
Navigating the roads of Tuscaloosa and the surrounding areas requires a vehicle built for dynamic environments. On a busy Saturday afternoon, you might be creeping through game day traffic near Bryant-Denny Stadium. The next morning, you could be hauling a boat down US-82 toward Lake Tuscaloosa for a day on the water. The 2026 Mazda CX-70 handles both scenarios with total grace.
Standard i-Activ All-Wheel Drive and Kinematic Posture Control work together to ensure you maintain total stability during sudden southern downpours. The Mazda Intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) system includes Sport and Off-Road modes, allowing you to optimize your traction whether you are cruising down I-20 or tackling the unpaved trails deep within the Talladega National Forest. With its generous cargo dimensions and clever sub-trunk design, packing your tailgating gear, camping supplies, or weekly groceries has never been easier.

- e-Skyactiv G 3.3L Inline 6 Turbo S: For those seeking maximum performance, the high-output Turbo S engine is the ultimate choice. It delivers an exhilarating 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque when fueled with the recommended premium fuel, providing incredibly swift acceleration and highway merging capabilities.
