Performance and Powertrain

At its heart, the CX-70 PHEV is driven by Mazda’s e-SKYACTIV PHEV system, combining gasoline and electric propulsion to sprint the SUV from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 6.5 to 6.9 seconds. With an EPA-estimated 26 miles of electric-only range and a combined MPGe rating of around 56 MPGe, the CX-70 PHEV lets drivers in Egg Harbor Township manage short daily commutes in quiet, emission-free mode while preserving fuel for longer drives. Hitting that balance of efficiency and performance is essential for New Jerseyans who split travel between beaches and urban corridors. Mazda’s i-Activ AWD comes standard, paired with Mi-Drive’s selectable modes (Sport, Off-Road, Towing, EV), enhancing control whether you’re merging onto the Garden State Parkway or navigating coastal roads.

Interior and Comfort

Mazda brings a touch of European refinement to the CX-70 PHEV cabin: rich materials, thoughtfully laid-out controls, and a sense of craftsmanship inspired by Japanese tradition. The spacious two-row layout maximizes cargo space, perfect for beach gear or family weekend getaways. The interior features Nappa-leather seats, ventilated front chairs, a panoramic sunroof, and ambient styling options that elevate every drive.

Tech amenities are equally impressive: a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, a Mazda Connect infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a 12-speaker Bose sound system, and multiple USB-C ports keep occupants comfortable, connected, and entertained. A clever 1,500 W outlet in the cargo area means you can power tailgate cookers or charge devices at the beach—ideal for the active lifestyle common to your area.

Safety and Driver Assistance Features

Mazda proudly touts the CX-70 PHEV’s IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating across its SUV lineup for 2025, a testament to the vehicle’s structural integrity and crash performance. The PHEV comes standard with an extensive suite of advanced driver aids: Smart Brake Support, Blind-Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane-Departure Warning and Keep Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition, Emergency Lane-Keeping Assist, and Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Speed-Limit Assist. Adding to ride confidence, Mazda’s Kinematic Posture Control reduces body roll during cornering for smoother, more controlled handling, a boon when navigating twisty roads or varying terrain near the shore.
