If you’d like the ability to drive silently through Oxnard, Venture, or Camarillo in the early morning or late at night but still not have to worry about EV range anxiety, it’s time to check out the all-new 2025 Mazda CX-70 PHEV. This all-new addition to Mazda’s midsize SUV offer is stunningly stylish, but it also manages to combine space, comfort, practicality, excellent driving dynamics, and desirability with a fuel-efficient plug-in hybrid powertrain.
There are two trim levels to choose from in the 2025 CX-70 PHEV lineup, but they’re the two most generously equipped trim levels available. The one we must laughably call the lower of the pair is the PHEV Premium, and the other is the even more lavishly equipped PHEV Premium Plus. These models represent the pinnacle of the CX-70 lineup, and their standard equipment is nothing short of sensational. In fact, you might wonder how some luxury automakers charge so much more for less when the CX-70 brings so much to the table. There’s nothing basic about the PHEV Premium with its standard leather upholstery. It’s just that the Premium Plus goes that little bit further in many areas, such as replacing the standard leather with even more premium Nappa leather.
Beneath the sleek exterior of the CX-70 PHEV is the innovative e-Skyactiv PHEV powertrain. An electric motor powered by a 17.8-kWh battery pack that sings in perfect harmony with a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder gas engine. The result is an impressive 323 horsepower and 369 lb.-ft. of torque when you opt for premium fuel. And if the idea of gliding silently through the streets of Port Hueneme or Santa Paula in the early hours or late at night appeals to you, the CX-70 PHEV grants you that wish with up to 26 miles of emission-free pure electric power.
There’s more to the PHEV powertrain than efficiency, however. It also delivers the kind of performance that makes every excursion an event to look forward to. Mazda Intelligent Drive Select lets the driver choose the model to suit the conditions, including an Off-Road model to make the best use of the standard AWD system.
The cabin of the CX-70 PHEV is the epitome of comfort and style. You can sink into the opulent black leather seats while you listen to the high-end Bose sound system and relax in your ideal temperature managed by a tri-zone climate control system. But Mazda doesn’t stop there. The 12.3-inch Mazda Connect infotainment screen takes center stage, seamlessly integrating wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. No cords, no hassle—just seamless connectivity. And the seven-inch TFT LCD instrument panel is like having your own digital co-pilot, keeping you informed at a glance. Winter mornings just got cozier with heated front seats, while the leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob add a touch of elegance. Plus, wireless phone charging ensures your devices stay powered up for the journey ahead.
And when it comes to safety, the Mazda’s got you covered with i-Activsense—a vigilant co-driver that includes Smart Brake Support, Blind Spot Monitoring, Mazda Radar Cruise Control, and more. So, whether you’re zipping through city streets or embarking on a cross-country adventure, the Mazda CX-70 PHEV has your back.
It’s not going to be easy choosing which of the two CX-70 PHEV trim levels to go for. But the most challenging thing you’ll find with this sensational new addition to the Mazda family is trying to pick a fault. If you’re looking for a stylish midsize SUV that’s fabulously spacious and comfortable inside, with engaging driving characteristics and a powerfully efficient powertrain that doesn’t cost the earth, the CX-70 PHEV is all that and more.
