What Is a Plug-In Hybrid Vehicle?

There are three types of eco-friendly configurations to pick from. A hybrid model takes the power from both the internal combustion engine and the hybrid motor, providing better mileage and lower environmental impact.

Conversely, an electric vehicle, or EV, takes power exclusively from the electric motor and doesn’t have an internal combustion engine. It needs to be charged in order to run.

A plug-in hybrid vehicle falls in the middle. It uses a combination of power sources, but has a larger, more capable battery and delivers some all-electric range. It also needs to be charged, but it can run on gasoline, too.

How Does the 2025 MAZDA CX-70 PHEV Work?

In the 2025 Mazda CX-70 PHEV, you’ll find a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and an electric motor. Together, they produce 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque.

The EV mode is typically prioritized for city driving, in which case power is sent from the electric motor first. When extra power is needed for acceleration, or the PHEV capacity is running low, it will switch over to the gasoline-powered motor.
