TheMazda CX-70 is one of the more interesting choices in the mainstream SUV market today, chiefly due to its reliance on a longitudinally mounted straight-six as its pure-ICE power plant. The 2026 iteration is offered with three distinct powertrain choices: a 280-horsepower six, a 340-hp six, and a 323-hp PHEV option that uses a 2.5-liter inline-four-cylinder engine.
