Japanese automaker Mazda announced updates for the 2026 Mazda CX-70. This mid-size, two-row crossover SUV blends sophisticated styling and versatile cargo space with electrified performance.
Available with three powertrain options, CX-70 utilizes two variants of the e-Skyactiv-G 3.3L Inline 6 Turbo with M-Hybrid Boost, and an e-Skyactiv PHEV with each powertrain paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard i-Activ all-wheel drive, Kinematic Posture Control, and Mi-Drive modes with Sport and Off-Road.
New for 2026, CX-70 adds many standard interior and exterior enhancements that’ll help it continue to deliver a unique Mazda driving experience fit for a wide range of customer lifestyles.
CX-70 PHEV trims have been revamped for 2026 with the e-Skyactiv PHEV powertrain increasing its EPA-estimated EV range to 30 miles. This was achieved without compromising CX-70 PHEV’s driving dynamics while continuing to provide customers who are looking for the extra EV range with essential features important to them.
The e-SKYACTIV PHEV powertrain produces 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque with the recommended premium fuel and includes a Charge Mode and adds EV mode to Mi-Drive..
The CX-70 PHEV SC continues the black exterior badges, garnishes, honeycomb front grille, rear roof spoiler, and roof rails on the exterior, but swaps to a “PHEV” fender badge, a black “SC” badge on the liftgate, and adds 19-inch gray metallic aluminum alloy wheels. Standard features on this trim includes power liftgate, power, heated side mirrors with integrated LED turn signals, automatic on/off LED headlights with auto-leveling, LED daytime running lamps, LED taillights, High Beam Control, and rain sensing windshield wipers.
Inside, the PHEV SC offers leatherette seating, leather-wrapped shift knob and steering wheel, eight-way power adjustable driver’s seat with power lumbar, interior LED lighting, as well as the same optimized storage solutions as the CX-70 Turbo models.
Standard technologies include Alexa Built-in, 12.3-inch Mazda Connect center infotainment display with touch functionality when using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, a 12.3 fully digital driver’s display, eight-speaker audio system, front and rear dual USB-C inputs, a Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry, push-button start, and automatic climate control, among other standard features.
Standard i-Activsense safety features include Smart Brake Support, Blind Spot Monitoring, Mazda Radar Cruise Control, Driver Attention Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Vehicle Exit Warning, and a Rear View Monitor with static guide lines.
The 2026 Mazda CX-70 PHEV SC comes in at $47,810.
The $51,100 Mazda CX-70 PHEV SC Plus builds on the features of the previous trim and adds a range of premium interior, convenience, and safety upgrades. Interior enhancements include leather seating, two-position memory driver seat, and eight-way power adjustable passenger seat, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, heated steering wheel, Active Driving Display, and retractable rear sunshades. Safety and convenience are further enhanced with secondary collision reduction and front and rear parking sensors.
