What's New for 2025?

In a nutshell, everything is new. The 2025 Mazda CX-70 PHEV full-size crossover SUV uses one of Mazda's most advanced powertrains and the latest large longitudinal chassis layout.

The interior offers the latest comfort, convenience, infotainment, connectivity, and technology.

The well-appointed luxury interior environment is decidedly upscale. Premium materials and impeccable craftsmanship are used, which is evident in the fit and finish.

Sporty Exterior

The 2025 Mazda CX-70 PHEV shares the same exterior dimensions and wheelbase as its twin, the CX-90 PHEV. It also looks quite similar to its twin, with an ever-so-small variation in length due to the CX-70's newer rear bumper design.

Built on Mazda's largest platform, the CX-70 PHEV inherits a large and athletic stance, a bold exterior design, and modern and sporty finishing features.

Mazda's designers have separated the twin models by endowing the CX-70 PHEV with darker exterior finishes and accents.

The CX-70 PHEV's front grille is black mesh, and the front bumper features large simulated grilles that lead to the air curtain generators in the corners.

The rear bumper design offers stylish faux vents on the corners, with dark accents like the black mirror caps, door handles, and roof rails. These exterior touches work very well together to give the CX-70 PHEV an adventure-ready and dynamic on-road presence.

A range of 21-inch alloy wheels are available in black and machine-cut finishes.

  • LED headlights with auto on/off

2025 Mazda CX-70 PHEV Dimensions

The CX-70 PHEV measures 201.6 inches long, 84.9 inches wide, and 68.7 inches high.

A respectable 8.1 inches of ground clearance means that any mild off-road travel will not destroy the underside of the CX-70.
