2025 Santa Fe vs 2025 CX-70 in Spring, TX
2025 Santa Fe vs 2025 CX-70
If you’re in the market for a midsize SUV, you’ve probably come across the 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe and 2025 Mazda CX-70. They’re both stylish, capable, and ready to haul groceries, gear, or your entire crew. But only one of them is ready to handle it all without compromise. At North Freeway Hyundai in Spring, TX, we’re comparing both vehicles side by side so you can see why the Santa Fe makes a better case for your driveway.
Interior Comparison
The Santa Fe gives you three full rows and seating for seven, making it a dream for larger families or anyone needing a little more wiggle room. Whether you're carpooling to school, road-tripping across Texas, or just running errands, the Santa Fe makes things easier with flexible seating, an available hands-free smart liftgate, and clever underfloor storage. The interior’s premium finishes – including ambient lighting and dual wireless chargers – add a touch of everyday luxury.
The Mazda CX-70 has upscale touches, but with only two rows and limited cargo space, it’s built more for couples or small families. It feels refined, but it can’t match the Santa Fe’s versatility.

Power & Performance
The Santa Fe’s turbocharged engine delivers strong acceleration with an impressively smooth ride. HTRAC All-Wheel Drive gives you confidence in unpredictable weather, and the Santa Fe’s selectable drive modes help you adapt to whatever the road throws at you. While the CX-70 edges out the Santa Fe slightly on raw horsepower, many of its performance upgrades are locked behind higher trims with steeper price tags.

Tech & Entertainment
You don’t need to upgrade trims to get premium tech in the Santa Fe. A pair of 12.3-inch displays greet you up front, offering a modern look and seamless usability. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, multiple USB-C ports, and over-the-air update capability come standard – no cords, no headaches. The CX-70’s layout is nice, but it requires upgrades or cables to match what the Santa Fe gives you right away.

Safety Features
​Safety isn’t something you should have to pay extra for – and with the Santa Fe, you won’t. Every 2025 model comes equipped with Hyundai SmartSense, a suite of driver-assist features that help you stay aware and alert. While the CX-70 does offer competitive tech, the Santa Fe includes more of it right from the start.
