Jil McIntoshhad this to say about the 2025 Mazda CX-70 GT on driving.ca: “Beyond that, Mazda’s signature is its fun-to-drive handling. It’s obviously a commuter sport-ute and not a sports car, but it’s responsive and it feels solid rather than heavy. On a curve or a rough road, it can apply a smidgen of brake pressure to one wheel, stabilizing the rear suspension so the vehicle retains its composure. The steering is nicely-weighted, the turning circle is very tight, and overall, it’s very good from behind the wheel.” SUV Review: 2025 Mazda CX-70 GT – Reviews | Driving

Still, for its features and performance, this new Kicks looks like it should easily hold its own.” 2025 Nissan Kicks First Drive Review | AutoTrader.ca

The Kia is the lowest-priced and most mainstream of the foursome, and many will be drawn to its distinctive, chunky styling.” Here’s How the Kia EV9 AWD Handles Family Road Trips
