2025 Mazda CX-70 PHEV Premium Plus 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric plug-in hybrid 8A)
EDIT: This is after a little over a year and 12,000 miles. I still like this car, but I'm not going to be all that upset once my lease ends. Absolutely no reliability issues or concerns and the dealer network is great - loaner cars are provided (I've gotten fully loaded CX-70's or CX-90's from the two dealers I've gone to for regular maintenance). However, here are a few new annoyances … I've discovered: The lack of storage space: I keep barely anything in my car so it's not a huge deal but there are very few places to put things in the driver's area. The battery when it gets cold out: if its below 40 degrees, the battery life plummets. If you live in a region with cold spells below 30 degrees, it's not even worth charging it. We're talking sub-12 mile electric range and the transition from gas to electric is not nearly as smooth The tires: The Falkens this car comes with are terrible and downright dangerous. Expect them to be worn out around 20,000 miles and they have terrible lateral grip when there is any rain. The gauge cluster: This is minor, but it would be nice to see the song playing or any infotainment issue on the cluster, versus just the infotainment screen. ORIGINAL: Overall, I'm very satisfied. With the CX70 in the picture, it makes it difficult to justify spending an additional $10-$15K on a similar Acura MDX, Infiniti QX60, or Genesis GV80, especially with the crash test ratings (best in class even with IIHS's updated tests) and Mazda's predicted reliability. I reluctantly returned my Alfa Romeo Stelvio lease in, and ended up getting a CX70. I wanted another Stelvio, but lease rates were awful compared to the CX70 PHEV (mostly due to federal incentives), and I needed more cargo space. If incentives were not around, I would have chosen the Inline 6, as the PHEV is somewhat gutless when the electric battery is depleted. Moreover, the CX70 made more sense than the CX90 for me, as I preferred the darker exterior accents, red Napa leather, and needed a rear bench seat for my dog. The CX90 will make more sense for most people, but I had absolutely no desire for a third row and prefer the niche-ness of the CX70. So far I'm very impressed with the CX70. It's very easy on the eyes and gets more complements than all of my previous cars, despite being the most pedestrian. With a little over 1,000 miles on it, I have only had to fill up the gas tank once. My electric bill on a level 1 charger (aka regular outlet) has only gone up about $15/mo since owning the CX70, and plugging in almost daily. Positives would include an impressive interior (at any price point), 90 degree opening rear doors, near instantaneous wireless Carplay connectivity, decent pickup for onramps, a great camera system, and a cavernous cargo area. An SUV of this size has no business handling as well as it does, and the steering is very tight and precise. The driver's seat may feel a bit snug for people coming from similar or larger sized vehicles, but I find it preferable for a more driver-oriented experience. The less positive things worth calling out would be the sunroof that doesn't open very far and it's loud when open, the 2.5L is loud when pushed, the transmission is a little slow to shift in non-sport mode, the paint is thin on the doors (visible orange peel exclusive to the doors), some cost-cutting measures visible (cheaper vinyl on the door arm rests, and the door handles and door thud do not sound or feel like a $60K car), and an overly-intrusive lane keep assist (even in the weakest setting), as well a large blind-spot around the D-Pillar. My two personal qualms would be the Mazda chime at startup (almost as annoying as the early 2000's GM chime), a weak heated steering wheel, and the CX70 being maybe about 10" too long. This would be a perfect 5 out of 5 stars if we got the CX60 from Europe, but it's a solid effort overall from an underrated and often overlooked brand.
