This guide covers:
- CX-70 specs across all grades
- Price and features for each CX-70
More expensive than its full-size, three-row CX-90 sibling, Mazda’s first-ever CX-70 mid-size hauler does separate itself with worthy features. Does the price justify it? That depends, but with three potent powertrain options, an impressive list of interior standard features, and sleek styling upgrades, including large alloy wheels, the new two-row Mazda SUV may check most of the boxes.
Release Date: The 2025 CX-70 is set to arrive in the spring of 2024. The CX-70 models with the standard 280 horsepower e-Skyactiv G 3.3L turbo engine with regular fuel will go on sale in the fall of 2024.
2025 Mazda CX-70 Performance Specs: What They All Have in Common
Before we look at each 2025 CX-70 separately, it’s good to know what each model has in common across the entire lineup.
Power and Performance Specs: Three Electrified Powertrain Choices
| Engine Type | Horsepower (max.) | Torque (net) |
|---|---|---|
| 3.3L I-6 turbo | 280 hp @ 5000 rpm | 332 lb-ft @ 2000 rpm |
| 3.3L I-6 turbo | 340 hp @ 5000 rpm | 369 lb-ft @ 2000 rpm |
| 2.5L I-4 PHEV | 323 hp @ 6000 rpm | 369 lb-ft @ 4000 rpm |
With three powertrains on tap with electrified variants, Mazda says the CX-70 boasts the most potent mass-production gasoline engine in the company’s history. At 340 horsepower total, about 17 hp comes from the electric motor.
Customers will choose from two versions of the e-SKYACTIV G 3.3L inline-six turbocharged engine and plug-in hybrid option with the e-Skyactiv PHEV. The former two pair with 48-volt M-Hybrid Boost; they’re all paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission, and Mazda is throwing in all-wheel drive as standard across all of them. Plus, some drive modes (dubbed Mi-Drive) include Sport, Off-Road, and available Towing or EV modes. Different powertrains for the various trims are discussed below.

The wheels grow to 21-inch alloys with a black metal finish while adding more exterior features, including a hands-free power liftgate, power panoramic sunroof, shark fin antenna, blacked-out door handles, pillar garnishes, and contrasting silver valence on the front bumper.
As for tech, it adds a head-up display (HUD), a better Bose 12-speaker premium audio system, frameless auto-dimming rearview mirror with Homelink, eight-way power adjustable driver’s seat with two-position memory, upgraded interior lighting, SiriusXM satellite radio (three-month trial), and Mazda Online Navigation.

- $48,900 MSRP USD
- Powertrain: e-Skyactiv G 3.3L Turbo engine (280 hp)
- Upgraded interior, including winter-friendly features
Building on the Premium, the Premium Plus essentially levels up the interior while adding more safety features. For an extra $3,000, these add-ons may or may not be worth it, depending on how you like your cabin packaged out.
The interior gets upgraded to Nappa leather (available in black or red), adding a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, eight-way power adjustable passenger seat, heated rear seats, and a 150-volt outlet. A power panoramic sunroof comes standard, and for those in colder climates, you’ll also get the windshield wiper de-icer, power-folding, and auto-dimming door mirrors. Also, leather with stitched leather panels matches the seat colours.
4. 2025 Mazda CX-70 3.3 Turbo S Premium
- $52,450 MSRP USD
- Powertrain: e-Skyactiv G 3.3L Inline 6 Turbo (340 hp)
- Steps up to the more potent engine, more blacked-out styling details, LED headlamps, more heated interior features
If you need more power and torque, this trim gets the 340 horsepower e-Skyactiv G 3.3L inline-six turbo engine with 369 lb-ft of torque, the 5,000 lbs. towing capacity, and the Mazda Mi-Drive modes. The company claims an EPA-estimated 23 MPG city, 28 MPG highway, and 25 MPG combined. We’ll know for sure once we drive this thing.
The wheels stay at the impressive 21-inch size but improve with a two-tone black metal and machine-cut finish; the dark looks continue with piano black heated and power-folding auto-dimming side mirrors, roof rails, rear spoiler, and front grille with honeycomb texture. The headlights and taillights go full LED, adding an adaptive front lighting system.

The dashboard gains suede inserts, and for campers and outdoor enthusiasts, the 150-watt outlet located in the cargo area may come in handy.
6. 2025 Mazda CX-70 3.3 PHEV Premium
- $54,400 MSRP USD
- Powertrain: e-Skyactiv PHEV with a 2.5L four-cylinder engine and electric motor (323 hp)
- The entry-level plug-in hybrid variant with less towing capacity
Now we get into the hybrid-powered CX-70s, but note this trim is less expensive than the $55,950 Turbo S Premium Plus. Mazda is promising a 17.8-kWh pack enabling up to 26 miles of pure electric driving and up to 56 MPGe; all from the 2.5L four-cylinder engine and electric motor combo. With hybrids, towing capacity often takes a hit; this PHEV, rated at 3,500 lbs, is no exception. If you plan to tow more giant toys, go for the non-hybrids with 5,000 lbs.
This model keeps the drive modes (Sport, Off-Road, Towing, and EV Modes) and many of the premium styling upgrades, including the 21-inch wheels, power panoramic sunroof, hands-free power liftgate, rain-sensing wipers, LED lighting, heated side mirrors, and black exterior accents.
