When you spend a lot of time at the gas station, it can feel like driving a car is almost as expensive as buying one. The 2025 Mazda CX-70 PHEV is a fuel-efficient SUV that can help. We’re taking a closer look at Heritage Mazda Bel Air.
MAZDA CX-70 PHEV Powertrain
The first-ever Mazda CX-70 PHEV is powered by an e-SKYACTIV®-PHEV 2.5-liter engine and a 68 kW electric motor. With it, the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) delivers a total system 323 horsepower and up to 369 lb-ft of torque. It can drive up to 26 miles using electric power alone and boasts a notable 490-mile total driving range.
How It Works
With a PHEV, you have the flexibility of using either the engine’s power or the electric motor’s power (when conditions allow). The electric motor draws power from the 17.8-kWh battery pack and the engine is powered by fuel. Typically, a PHEV will utilize the electric power first, as long as you have range available. Then, they’ll seamlessly switch to gasoline power when necessary.
Charging the MAZDA CX-70 PHEV
With regenerative braking, the Mazda CX-70 PHEV recoups some of the energy lost while braking, which allows it to charge itself while driving. You can also add to the charge yourself by plugging in: the SUV comes standard with a portable Level 1 charging cable which can be charged into any common outlet. You can also opt to install a Level 2 charging unit at home as well.
