Mazda has extended its plug-in hybrid offerings with the new CX-70 PHEV, offering a large crossover that brings lots of cargo space to the table along with the ability to drive up to 42 kilometers on electricity alone. Power comes in at 319 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. For those dreaming of a fun to drive plug-in hybrid crossover, the CX-70 fits the bill perfectly.
Our jurors say that these three features stand out on the CX-70 PHEV:
- Interior Styling
- Quality
- Value
Juror’s Opinion – Michel Crepault had this to say on Auto123.com:
“In near-hairpin bends, the CX-70 turned without crashing into corners. Like the CX-90, it features Kinematic Posture Control (KPC), which pinches the inside rear wheel in curves to reduce roll and firm up all-wheel drive. The steering wheel is precise without being sharp. It doesn’t convey a wealth of information about the road, but it does inspire confidence. The 11.6-metre turning radius is the same as that of the CX-90.”
