The Mazda CX-70 Plug-In Hybrid is a brand-new addition to Mazda’s SUV lineup, combining strong electric range with two-row SUV practicality. Designed for drivers who want electric capability without giving up gasoline flexibility, the CX-70 PHEV offers an ideal middle ground for Longwood-area families and commuters ready to reduce fuel stops—without changing their routine.
With premium styling, a spacious interior, and plug-in efficiency, it’s built to handle everything from daily drives through Central Florida to weekend escapes beyond city limits.
The CX-70 Plug-In Hybrid features a 2.5L four-cylinder engine paired with a high-capacity battery and electric motor system. Together, this setup produces 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque—making it the most powerful non-performance SUV in Mazda’s lineup. A smooth 8-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive provide solid traction and confident acceleration.
More importantly, the CX-70 PHEV offers up to 26 miles of all-electric range—enough to cover most daily commutes or errands around Longwood, Altamonte Springs, or downtown Orlando without using gas at all. When the battery runs low, the gas engine takes over seamlessly, giving you a total range of more than 500 miles.
Charging the CX-70 Plug-In Hybrid is simple. Using a Level 2 home charger, you can fully recharge the battery in about 2.5 hours. It also works with standard 120V outlets, though full charging will take longer overnight. Mazda’s built-in charging interface lets you schedule charge times and monitor battery status from the driver display or MyMazda app.
This setup gives drivers the freedom to run short trips purely on electric power, then fall back on gas for longer drives—ideal for drivers not ready to go fully electric.
Inside, the CX-70 emphasizes function and comfort. There’s plenty of space for five adults, with generous legroom in both rows and a wide center console for added storage. The seating position is upright and supportive, and visibility is excellent from the driver’s seat.
Higher trims feature Nappa leather seating, ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, and a 12.3-inch full digital display. Mazda keeps the cabin focused and uncluttered, with physical knobs for core functions and a wide touchscreen for infotainment. Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ come standard, along with wireless device charging.
Unlike some hybrid models that sacrifice cargo space for battery storage, the CX-70 Plug-In Hybrid keeps its utility intact. Behind the second row, you’ll find over 39 cubic feet of cargo room—enough for suitcases, sports gear, or weekend supplies. Fold the rear seats flat, and capacity expands to more than 75 cubic feet.
The wide-opening tailgate and low liftover height make loading easy, while underfloor storage compartments help keep smaller items secure and out of the way.
Mazda engineers tuned the CX-70 PHEV for a comfortable ride with responsive steering. It handles like a smaller SUV despite its size, offering smooth road feel and stable cornering. The hybrid system adds instant low-end torque, especially helpful when merging on I-4 or passing slower traffic on country roads.
Multiple drive modes—including Normal, Sport, EV, and Towing—allow you to adapt performance to the situation. When equipped with the available towing package, the CX-70 Plug-In Hybrid can pull up to 3,500 pounds—enough for a small trailer, boat, or pair of jet skis.
All CX-70 Plug-In Hybrid models include Mazda’s i-ACTIVSENSE® suite of safety features, including:
Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go
Lane Departure Warning with Lane-Keep Assist
Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Traffic Alert
Smart Brake Support with forward collision mitigation
Top trims also add a 360º View Monitor, Traffic Jam Assist, and front parking sensors—helpful for navigating crowded lots or tight parking areas around Longwood and Winter Springs.
The CX-70 Plug-In Hybrid is available in three main trims:
Preferred – Includes leatherette seating, power liftgate, adaptive cruise control, and wireless Apple CarPlay™
Premium – Adds leather seats, Bose® audio system, ventilated seats, and navigation
Premium Plus – Offers all features, including towing prep, panoramic roof, and full driver assist tech
Each trim is well-equipped, allowing buyers to prioritize comfort, performance, or tech depending on their needs.
If you’re ready to step into a more efficient SUV without giving up range or versatility, the Mazda CX-70 Plug-In Hybrid is worth a closer look.
