There are two available trim levels: CX-70 PHEV SC and CX-70 PHEV SC Plus. Even the entry-level trim offers an upscale driving experience.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 CX-70 PHEV Have?

Motivation comes from a modern e-Skyactiv PHEV powertrain, which combines a naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine with an electric motor. It generates a potent 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Not only does this powertrain deliver engaging responsiveness, but it also provides impressive efficiency. A rear-biased AWD system comes standard, enhancing the SUV's dynamic handling. While activating the SUV's Sport mode ensures peak responsiveness, switching to Off-Road mode optimizes traction on rugged terrain.
