The 2026 Mazda CX-70 PHEV is the most efficient and most electrified configuration in the two-row CX-70 lineup — a plug-in hybrid electric SUV that delivers 323 combined horsepower, 369 lb-ft of torque, 30 miles of all-electric range, and the same standard AWD and Kinematic Posture Control that define every CX-70. For Colorado Springs commuters who drive predictable daily distances and want to cover most of those miles on electricity — while retaining the full flexibility of a gasoline-powered SUV for weekend trips to Breckenridge, Pueblo, or Denver — the CX-70 PHEV delivers a compelling proposition at a price that starts below the CX-90 PHEV by approximately $6,000. It has earned IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK recognition and a 5-Star NHTSA Overall Safety Rating. For Colorado Springs drivers looking for Mazda CX-70 PHEV lease offers in Colorado Springs, CO, the full suite of Mazda Financial Services lease programs is available at Bob Penkhus Mazda at Powers, located at 7455 Test Drive in Colorado Springs, CO. Whether you are coming from Fountain, Falcon, Pueblo, or anywhere across the Colorado Springs metro area, our team is here to help you find the right CX-70 PHEV lease.

30 Miles Electric: The CX-70 PHEV Advantage Over the CX-90 PHEV

The 2026 CX-70 PHEV offers 30 miles of EPA-estimated all-electric range — four miles more than the CX-90 PHEV's 26-mile rating — despite sharing the same 2.5-liter plug-in hybrid powertrain. For Colorado Springs commuters whose daily round-trip falls at or under 30 miles, that extra range can make the difference between arriving home with the battery still charged versus running the last few miles on gasoline. The average American commutes fewer than 30 miles round-trip daily, which means the CX-70 PHEV is sized to cover most Colorado Springs workday driving on electricity alone. A Level 2 home charger restores a full charge in approximately 2.5 hours — meaning an evening plug-in is all most drivers will need to start each morning with a full 30-mile electric buffer. When the battery is depleted, the PHEV system transitions to hybrid mode seamlessly, drawing on both the gasoline engine and electric motor for the extended range needed for trips to Denver, Pueblo, or the mountains.

323 Horsepower, 369 lb-ft, and More Cargo Than You Might Expect

The CX-70 PHEV's 2.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder paired with a single electric motor produces 323 combined horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque through an 8-speed automatic — 43 more horsepower than the base CX-70 inline-six Turbo and the same torque as the inline-six Turbo S. U.S. News notes that this output gives the CX-70 PHEV much stronger real-world performance than the base non-hybrid model. Standard AWD and Kinematic Posture Control — Mazda's brake-based system that suppresses body roll mid-corner — are included on both PHEV trims, along with Mi-Drive featuring Normal, Sport, Off-Road, and EV modes. On the cargo side, the CX-70 PHEV impresses: 39.6 cubic feet with the rear seat up and 75.3 cubic feet with the seats folded. That is more than double the CX-90 PHEV's 15.9 cubic feet behind the third row, making the CX-70 PHEV the stronger choice for Colorado Springs drivers who regularly haul gear, sports equipment, or cargo on weekend trips.

The 2026 Mazda CX-70 PHEV Trim Lineup

The CX-70 PHEV is offered in two trim levels, both carrying the SC designation — a black exterior badge treatment that gives the PHEV its own distinct visual identity within the CX-70 family. The PHEV SC at $44,250 is the entry point — arriving well-equipped with an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat, a 10.25-inch infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Bose 12-speaker premium audio system, blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, forward automatic emergency braking, stop-and-go adaptive cruise control, driver attention monitoring, rear seat alert, a power liftgate, and automatic LED headlights with auto-leveling. The PHEV SC also receives the black exterior badge treatment, 19-inch gray metallic alloy wheels, and black exterior accents. The PHEV SC Plus at $47,250 builds meaningfully on the SC — adding genuine leather seating, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, a head-up display, a two-position driver memory seat, an eight-way power-adjustable passenger seat, retractable rear sunshades, secondary collision reduction, and front and rear parking sensors. U.S. News recommends the SC Plus for drivers who can accommodate the additional investment, citing the daily comfort features as genuinely noticeable on every drive.

CX-70 PHEV vs. CX-90 PHEV: Which Two-Row-or-Three Decision Is Yours

The CX-70 PHEV and CX-90 PHEV are frequently compared because they share the same powertrain, the same standard AWD, and the same exterior footprint — but they serve different needs. The CX-70 PHEV is the right choice for Colorado Springs drivers who do not need a third row, want to maximize cargo space behind the rear seats (39.6 cu ft vs. 15.9 cu ft), want the slightly longer 30-mile EV range, and want a lower lease payment on the same powertrain. The CX-90 PHEV is the right choice for families who need occasional or regular three-row seating for up to eight passengers and can accept the reduced cargo space that comes with the third row. Both vehicles are available at Bob Penkhus Mazda at Powers, and our team can help you identify which configuration fits your household's actual usage patterns before you commit to a lease.

Colorado Springs is home to Fort Carson, Peterson Space Force Base, Schriever Space Force Base, and the United States Air Force Academy — and Bob Penkhus Mazda at Powers is proud to serve the military and first responder community with dedicated Mazda bonus cash programs on new CX-70 PHEV leases.
