What is the 2026 Mazda CX-70 PHEV?
The CX-70 PHEV is Mazda’s plug-in hybrid entry in its midsize two-row SUV lineup. The e-SKYACTIV PHEV system pairs a 2.5L engine with a 68 kW electric motor, and combined output reaches 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. EPA-estimated electric-only range is 32 miles, and you can cover most of your local commuting on battery power alone before the gas engine engages. The lineup starts at $44,450* for the PHEV SC trim.
There is 39.6 cubic feet of cargo room with the rear seats up, or 75.3 if they are put down. With the right equipment you can tow up to 3,500 lb. An AWD system is standard on the CX-70 PHEV.
As for safety, the IIHS has given the CX-70 PHEV its Top Safety Pick+ distinction among midsize SUVs. But you should check the particular configuration you’re considering, as the 2026 awards from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety may vary according to headlight and trim.
Driving the 2026 Mazda CX-70 PHEV in Tustin
Your daily errands around Tustin fit within the CX-70 PHEV’s 32-mile electric-only range, whether you’re heading to Tustin Marketplace off Jamboree Road for a grocery run or to The District at Tustin Legacy for dinner and shopping. If you plug in at home each night, you can complete most trips inside Tustin on electric power alone. When your route stretches past the battery’s range, the gas engine takes over.
There are also weekends spent with a bike or on the trails at Peters Canyon Regional Park. Put the second row down, and the 75.3 cubic feet of cargo space is enough for all the gear and packs. Or if you find yourself in the vicinity of Tustin High on Red Hill Avenue, the vehicle’s standard AWD and 3,500-lb towing capacity are at hand for a personal watercraft or small trailer. And for a short outing to the cafes and boutiques of Old Town Tustin, you will be well within that 32-mile electric range.
