I drove the Mazda CX-70 for a week — and it proves hybrids don’t need to sacrifice power to be fuel efficient

2026 Mazda CX-70 review.

Hybrid vehicles are known for their impressive fuel economy, but they often sacrifice power in the process. The 2026 Mazda CX-70 is one of the few that breaks that tradition, blending outstanding efficiency and muscle.

This mid-size SUV starts at $42,250 for the base trim, jumping up to $56,135 for the Turbo S Premium trim I drove for a week — with both earning an EPA-estimated combined fuel economy of 25 mpg.
