Key Features of the 2026 Mazda CX-70

e-Skyactiv-G 3.3L Inline 6 Turbo with M-Hybrid Boost

Mazda’s e-Skyactiv-G 3.3L Inline 6 Turbo delivers smooth, linear power with satisfying response across the rev range. With two output levels available, this longitudinally mounted engine pairs to an eight-speed automatic for crisp shifts and confident passing. M-Hybrid Boost adds a mild electrification assist to enhance low-speed refinement and help the powertrain feel effortlessly strong pulling onto I-25 or navigating grades west of town. Standard paddle shifters give you manual control when you want it, and the engine’s refined character underscores Mazda’s commitment to craftsmanship and performance.

e-Skyactiv PHEV Powertrain

The e-Skyactiv PHEV offers 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque with recommended premium fuel while adding the ability to drive on electric power alone for an EPA-estimated 30 miles of EV range. Charge Mode and an EV mode within Mi-Drive make it easy to manage energy on your terms, whether you are running local errands or setting out for a day trip to the trailhead. The CX-70 PHEV SC and SC Plus include the same thoughtful storage innovations and technology core as the turbo models, so you do not sacrifice utility when you choose electrification. It is the right blend of power and efficiency-minded capability for drivers who want flexibility without compromise.

i-Activ all-wheel drive and Mi-Drive

Every 2026 CX-70 includes i-Activ all-wheel drive for confidence in changing weather and on variable terrain. The system seamlessly monitors traction and distributes torque where it is needed, while Mi-Drive offers modes such as Sport and Off-Road to tailor throttle, shift mapping, and stability logic to your route. Select trims add a Towing mode and up to 5,000 lbs of maximum towing when equipped with Mazda Genuine Towing Accessories, simplifying trips with bikes, small campers, or gear for alpine weekends. Together with the CX-70’s rear-biased architecture and Kinematic Posture Control, the result is a stable, engaging feel on winding canyon roads and a sure-footed stride on snow-packed mornings.

i-Activsense® Safety and Driver Assistance

Mazda’s i-Activsense® suite brings confidence to daily driving with standard technologies such as Smart Brake Support, Blind Spot Monitoring, Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Driver Attention Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Vehicle Exit Warning, and a Rear View Monitor.

This broad, integrated approach helps the CX-70 support you in busy traffic and complex intersections throughout the region.

Mazda Connect, Alexa Built-in, and 12.3-inch Displays

Inside, the 12.3-inch Mazda Connect center display offers touch functionality when using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and Alexa Built-in enables natural voice commands for navigation, calls, smart-home devices, and playlists without taking your hands off the wheel. Available 12.3-inch fully digital driver’s display and Active Driving Display place key information in clear view. Premium audio by Bose with 12 speakers provides rich sound, while thoughtful upgrades like a frameless auto-dimming rearview mirror with Homelink and wireless device charging enhance everyday convenience.
