Mazda's CX-70 plug-in hybrid represents a compelling middle ground between mainstream and luxury two-row SUVs. Its 2.5-liter inline-four paired with an electric motor produces a combined 323 horsepower while delivering 28 miles of electric-only range.
The interior is where the CX-70 truly shines, featuring genuine Nappa leather, real wood trim, and a minimalist dashboard layout that rivals vehicles costing $20,000 more. Road noise isolation is exceptional for the segment.
Starting at $42,990, the CX-70 PHEV qualifies for a partial federal tax credit of $3,750, bringing the effective price closer to $39,000 for eligible buyers.
