2026 Mazda CX-70 3.3 Turbo S Premium: Green Brook Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: 2026 Mazda CX-70 3.3 Turbo S Premium
The Turbo S Premium starts at $53,440 MSRP and is where the CX-70's power ceiling actually moves. It's the same 3.3-liter turbocharged inline-six as the Turbo line, remapped for up to 340 hp and 369 lb-ft — but that figure requires premium 93 octane; run it on regular 87 and it settles back to the same 280 hp the base Turbo trims make. Beyond the engine tune, Turbo S Premium adds a Driver Personalization System that saves seat, mirror, and climate settings per profile, and 21-inch aluminum alloy wheels finished in Black Metallic Machine Cut. Towing stays at up to 5,000 lbs when properly equipped, same as the rest of the gas lineup.
The same engine block, tuned for more — with one real condition
It's worth being precise about what the "S" actually changes, because Mazda's own naming makes it easy to assume it's a different engine: it isn't. The Turbo S Premium runs the identical 3.3-liter turbocharged inline-six as the base Turbo trims, remapped to extract up to 340 hp and 369 lb-ft — a real, noticeable jump over the 280 hp/332 lb-ft base tune. The condition is fuel: that peak output is rated on premium 93 octane specifically. Fill it with regular 87 and the engine doesn't complain or need a dealer visit — it simply produces the same output as the non-S Turbo, because without the extra octane the engine's control software pulls the tune back to a safe, lower-boost calibration. If daily driving on premium fuel isn't part of the plan, the extra money for Turbo S buys potential you won't consistently use.
Driver Personalization and the wheel upgrade
The Driver Personalization System is a small but genuinely useful addition for a household where more than one person regularly drives the CX-70 — it remembers seat position, mirror angles, and climate preferences per profile, so switching drivers doesn't mean re-adjusting everything from scratch. The 21-inch wheels in Black Metallic Machine Cut finish are also unique to the Turbo S trims, a visual cue that distinguishes them from the standard Turbo line at a glance.
Turbo S Premium vs. the rest of the lineup
Against the 3.3 Turbo Premium Plus, which costs $3,870 less, the Turbo S Premium trades some of that trim's Nappa leather and moonroof polish for the higher-output engine and Driver Personalization — a genuinely different priority, power versus cabin luxury, rather than a strict upgrade in every direction. Stepping up another $3,430 to the 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus adds the Nappa leather and moonroof back on top of the same engine, effectively combining both priorities at the top of the lineup.
What buyers say
Buyers who know exactly what they want tend to gravitate toward the Turbo S line, and Empire Mazda of Green Brook's reviews reflect that pattern. Jeff Hoffmann, describing a recent purchase, put it this way: "We were very particular about what we wanted — color, interior, engine — and kinda put the salesman Vance through a goose chase. But he found one and was able to get the price where we wanted it. We haven't bought from a dealership in over a decade because of the back and forth with salesman and managers, but this was a pleasant experience." That kind of specific, engine-and-spec-driven shopping is exactly the Turbo S Premium's audience — buyers who know the fuel-dependent output story and are choosing it deliberately.
Frequently asked questions
What does the 2026 CX-70 3.3 Turbo S Premium cost?
MSRP is $53,440, before Mazda's $1,530 destination charge and New Jersey's 6.625% sales tax. See the pricing & leasing guide for a full out-the-door example.
Does the Turbo S really need premium gas?
Only to hit its rated 340 hp. It runs safely on regular 87 octane, but output drops to the same 280 hp the base Turbo trims make on regular fuel — if you don't plan to consistently fill up with premium, factor that into whether the Turbo S is worth the extra cost over the standard Turbo.
Is the Turbo S a different engine than the regular Turbo?
No — same 3.3-liter turbocharged inline-six block, remapped for a higher output tune on premium fuel. It's not a separate engine family.
Does the Turbo S tow more than the base Turbo?
No, both are rated up to 5,000 lbs when properly equipped with the Genuine Mazda Tow Hitch. The Turbo S's advantage is peak horsepower on premium fuel, not towing capacity.

The bottom line
The Turbo S Premium is for buyers who want the CX-70's real power ceiling and are willing to run premium fuel to get it — up to 340 hp, Driver Personalization, and a distinct wheel finish, for $53,440. Buyers who won't consistently use premium gas should be honest with themselves about whether the base Turbo line already covers what they need.
