Top Features of the Mazda CX-70 PHEV

The introduction of the Mazda CX-70 PHEV marks an exciting new chapter for drivers in Tustin and throughout Southern California. This two-row crossover is designed for those who lead an active, sophisticated lifestyle and require a vehicle that can keep up with their demands. At Tustin Mazda, a member of the Patterson Autos group, we are thrilled to showcase the innovative features that set this plug-in hybrid apart from the rest. Combining the efficiency of electric driving with the power of a traditional engine, the CX-70 PHEV is the perfect companion for everything from your daily Tustin commute to weekend explorations of the California coast.Below, we explore the top features that make this model a standout choice for modern drivers.

The heart of the Mazda CX-70 PHEV is its sophisticated powertrain, which combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with a powerful electric motor. This setup provides a total system output of 323 horsepower, giving you plenty of punch for merging onto the I-5 or the 55 freeway. The ability to drive on purely electric power for short trips around Tustin means you can complete many of your daily errands without using a drop of gasoline. When you need to go further, the hybrid system ensures you have the range and performance needed for long-distance Southern California travel.

Standard on every CX-70 PHEV is Mazda’s i-Activ AWD. This system is designed to provide maximum confidence regardless of road conditions. By constantly monitoring factors like steering angle and exterior temperature, the system can predict when a wheel might slip and proactively shift power to the wheels with the best grip. This is a vital feature for those occasional rainy days in Southern California or for maintaining stability on winding canyon roads. It ensures that the CX-70 PHEV feels planted and responsive, providing a sporty driving experience that is typical of the Mazda brand.

  • Luxurious and Functional Interior

The interior of the Mazda CX-70 PHEV is a masterclass in craftsmanship. It features high-quality materials like available Nappa leather and unique stitching that gives the cabin a premium, custom feel. Because it is a two-row SUV, it offers expansive legroom for both front and rear passengers, making it a great choice for those who frequently travel with friends or colleagues. The cargo area is equally impressive, featuring a sub-trunk storage space that is perfect for keeping smaller items secure and out of sight. Whether you are hauling groceries in Tustin or gear for a beach day, the CX-70 PHEV has the space you need.

  • Comprehensive i-Activsense® Safety Suite

Safety is paramount, and the CX-70 PHEV comes equipped with Mazda’s most advanced safety technologies. This includes a 360° View Monitor with See-Through View, which makes maneuvering in tight Tustin parking lots easier than ever. Other standard features include Smart Brake Support, Lane-Keep Assist, and Blind Spot Monitoring. One innovative addition is the Unresponsive Driver Support, which can detect if a driver has become incapacitated and safely bring the vehicle to a stop. These features provide an extra layer of protection for you and your passengers as you navigate the busy roads of Orange County.

  • Seamless Technology Integration

Staying connected is effortless in the CX-70 PHEV. It features a large, vivid center display that serves as the hub for your navigation and entertainment. With wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, you can access your smartphone’s features without any messy cables. Furthermore, the CX-70 PHEV is the first Mazda to offer Alexa Built-in, allowing you to use voice commands to control everything from the cabin temperature to your smart home devices while you are on the road. This level of connectivity ensures that your vehicle is a true extension of your digital life.

  • Driver-Centric Performance Tuning

Mazda is known for creating vehicles that are fun to drive, and the CX-70 PHEV is no exception. It features Kinematic Posture Control (KPC), a technology that applies a slight braking force to the inner rear wheel during cornering to suppress body roll. This makes the SUV feel more stable and composed, even during spirited driving. For drivers in the Tustin area who appreciate a vehicle that responds accurately to their inputs, the CX-70 PHEV offers a level of engagement that is rare in the hybrid SUV segment. It proves that choosing an efficient vehicle doesn't mean you have to give up the joy of driving.
