Mazda continues to elevate its SUV lineup with the CX-70, combining sophisticated styling, electrified performance, and premium comfort in one versatile package. Designed for drivers who appreciate luxury without sacrificing practicality, this two-row SUV introduces exciting upgrades for 2026.
The CX-70 makes a striking first impression with its athletic stance, sculpted body, and distinctive black accents. New gloss-black Mazda emblems and rear badges complement its sporty appearance, while available 21-inch alloy wheels and a bold honeycomb grille add character. Inside, Mazda’s attention to craftsmanship shines through with available Nappa leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, and thoughtfully designed storage compartments.
Performance remains a major highlight. The standard 3.3L turbocharged inline-six engine features a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, producing 280 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. Drivers seeking additional excitement can upgrade to the Turbo S, delivering up to 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque with premium fuel. Both engines achieve an EPA-estimated 25 mpg combined. An eight-speed automatic transmission and standard i-Active all-wheel drive complete the package.
For drivers interested in electrification, the redesigned plug-in hybrid lineup offers another compelling option. Its powertrain generates 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque with premium fuel, while providing an improved EPA-estimated 30 miles of all-electric driving range. The PHEV also introduces two streamlined trims, SC and SC Plus, expanding the choices available to customers.
Technology takes center stage with a standard 12.3 inch infotainment display, Alexa Built-in and smartphone integration. Available upgrades include a Bose 12-speaker audio system, wireless charging, and a 360-degree camera system. Standard driver-assistance features include blind-spot monitoring, i-active safety systems, automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping assistance.
Practicality is equally impressive, with available towing capacity reaching 5,000 pounds on properly equipped inline-six models. Updated pricing starts at $42,750 for the Turbo Preferred, while the PHEV SC begins at $44, 450, excluding destination charges.
With its combination of refined luxury, versatile performance, and advanced technology, the 2026 Mazda CX-70 offers an exciting approach to everyday driving and weekend adventures alike.
