Performance and Driving Experience
Hybrid Engine Power

Around Mahwah, NJ, that power makes highway merges less stressful than waiting in line at Bagel Train and helps you climb hills with the same ease as rolling down Franklin Turnpike on a Sunday drive.
Smooth-Shifting Transmission
Blend that hybrid power with the eight-speed automatic and you get a drive that feels lively yet composed. The transmission delivers the engine’s strength with snap when you tap the pedal and calm when you’re cruising, turning everyday Northern Jersey stops into something smoother and a lot more fun.

Quick Off-the-Line Speed
The 2026 Mazda CX-70 0-60 PHEV hits sixty in just 5.9 seconds, and that quickness matters more than bragging rights.

Range, Charging, and Everyday Battery Confidence
Hybrid buyers want reassurance that their vehicle balances power with practicality, and that’s exactly where the CX-70 shines. The 2026 Mazda CX-70 PHEV electric range delivers up to 26 miles of all electric driving from its 17.8 kWh battery, giving families a taste of emissions-free trips for errands and school runs.
Concerns about charging or range fade quickly here—the battery tops up swiftly on a 240volt outlet, and the system is tuned to keep transitions between gas and electric smooth. It’s the kind of setup that makes daily life easier, efficient, and a little more fun on New Jersey roads.
