Key Points:
- Pricing for the 2026 Mazda CX-70 starts at $43,780, and the plug-in hybrid version’s price drops to $45,780 (all prices include $1,530 destination charge).
- The 2026 CX-70 gets more standard equipment, including heated and ventilated front seats and heated outboard rear seats.
- The available plug-in hybrid variant now has 30 miles of electric-only range.
The Mazda CX-70 is a CX-90 for people who only need two rows of seats (even though removing the third row doesn’t net buyers any additional cargo space). Mazda doesn’t offer the five-occupant SUV in as many configurations as it does the seven-occupant CX-90, but for 2026, every CX-70 now features more standard equipment, including heated and ventilated front seats and heated outboard rear seats. The base price increases accordingly for the gas-only trim levels, while the plug-in hybrid’s base price tumbles from the 2025 model’s.

Trim Levels
Newly standard equipment on the 2026 CX-70 includes black badges, heated and ventilated front seats, heated outboard rear seats, a heated steering wheel, power-adjustable front seats and rain-sensing windshield wipers. As fewer seats and black exterior trim both apparently denote sportiness, all CX-70s also get black finishes on their wheels (21 inches on the entry-level 3.3 Turbo Preferred), grille, side mirrors and spoilers. Other standard features include keyless entry and start, LED exterior lighting, a power moonroof and a power liftgate.
Inside, the CX-70 3.3 Turbo Preferred boasts leather upholstery, automatic climate control, rear window sunshades and a 12.3-inch infotainment system. Unlike most every other manufacturer, Mazda still employs a control knob for its display unless users mirror their smartphone through the standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which are operated through touch. Wireless phone charging and eight speakers are also standard. Standard safety tech includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-centering steering, blind spot monitors, rear cross-traffic alert, a driver-attention monitor and automatic high beams.
The 3.3 Turbo Premium adds a towing package that ups capacity from 3,500 to 5,000 pounds, plus a hands-free power liftgate, black door handles and pillar garnishes, a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, a head-up display, navigation, upgraded interior lighting and a 12-speaker Bose audio system. It also adds blind spot intervention, oncoming traffic alert and road-sign recognition. Upgrade to the 3.3 Turbo Premium Plus and you’ll get Nappa leather, adaptive headlights that turn with the steering wheel, and additional safety equipment that includes pedestrian and bicyclist detection, front cross-traffic alert, a 360-degree camera system and automatic rear braking.
The Premium level on the more powerful CX-70 3.3 Turbo S is a bit of a misnomer, as this version includes everything from the 3.3 Turbo Premium Plus as well as front and rear parking sensors, a panoramic moonroof and a power tilt/telescoping steering column. The 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus gets two-tone quilted Nappa leather seats, suede dash trim and windshield-wiper de-icers. Both 3.3 Turbo S trims also add rear pedestrian detection.
The PHEV variants ride on 19-inch wheels instead of the gas-only CX-70’s 21s. The entry-level SC trim is similar to the 3.3 Turbo Preferred but comes with synthetic instead of real leather, a manually adjustable passenger seat, and no seat heating or ventilation. The climate-controlled seats and heated steering wheel rejoin the CX-70 with the PHEV SC Plus, which includes everything from the 3.3 Turbo Preferred, as well as the head-up display and front and rear parking sensors.

Powertrain Specs and MPG
The 2026 CX-70’s Turbo trim levels are powered by a turbocharged 3.3-liter inline-six-cylinder engine with mild-hybrid assistance generating 280 horsepower and 332 pounds-feet of torque. In the CX-70 3.3 Turbo S, the same engine is tuned to deliver 340 hp and 369 pounds-feet of torque. The PHEV features Mazda’s e-Skyactiv engine, which pairs a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder with an electric motor to deliver a total of 323 hp and 369 pounds-feet. All three powertrains are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive.
Official EPA ratings for the 2026 model are not yet available, but Mazda says it returns the same ratings as the 2025 model. The 3.3 Turbo variants return an EPA-estimated 24/28/25 mpg city/highway/combined, while the 3.3 Turbo S sacrifices just 1 mpg in the city for its extra output, returning 23/28/25 mpg. Revised for 2026, the PHEV SC can now travel 30 miles on electricity — an increase of 4 miles from 2025.
