Given its spacious interior and cavernous cargo area, the 2026 Mazda CX-70 is a compelling choice in its class, which includes competitors such as the Honda Passport, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Nissan Murano.

Mazda CX-70 Engines and Efficiency
No matter which Mazda CX-70 model you choose, it will be propelled by a hybridized powertrain. The 2026 Mazda CX-70 is powered by a standard 3.3-liter turbocharged inline-six engine, which is paired with a 48-volt mild-hybrid battery that boosts acceleration and fuel efficiency. Together, the combination produces 280 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque while earning up to an EPA-estimated 24/28/25 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).1 The TURBO S variants increase output to 340 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, with a slight trade-off in fuel economy.
The Mazda CX-70 PHEV model uses an e-Skyactiv®-PHEV 2.5-liter engine paired with an electric motor, producing 323 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. While the plug-in hybrid variant achieves an impressive EPA-estimated 61 MPGe (Combined),2 what's perhaps more impressive is its 32-mile all-electric driving range,3 which is perfect if your daily routine includes a short commute to work or errands around town.
When it comes to the Mazda CX-70 towing capacity, every mild-hybrid model save the base variant can tow up to 5,000 pounds,4 while the two plug-in hybrid trims can each tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped.
You can shift smoothly through all gears with the standard automatic transmission with which every Mazda CX-70 model is equipped. The vehicle's rear-biased i-Activ AWD® system gives the SUV traction on slippery surfaces.
