Mazda CX-70 Plug-In Hybrid vs Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid

Two rows, and the table is short because the field is. Plug-in hybrid SUVs at this size are a small group, and against the Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid the CX-70 Plug-In Hybrid leads on total system horsepower and on maximum towing capacity, which are the two specifications both manufacturers publish on a like-for-like basis. It does not lead on electric-only range, on price or on powertrain warranty term, and those three are recorded in our research rather than shaded out of view — a shopper choosing on electric range specifically should know the compared car goes considerably further. We would rather publish two rows that hold up than pad the table to look fuller. Each row below names its source and the model year that source describes.

Every row above names its source and the model year that source describes; verification of a comparison is the dealer’s responsibility. Competitor figures are that manufacturer’s own published specifications for the model year shown. Rows the CX-70 Plug-In Hybrid does not lead are recorded in our research and are not published here, and no price row appears at all — competitor MSRPs are published excluding destination while Mazda’s include it, so no like-for-like price comparison exists.

The Mazda CX-70 Plug-In Hybrid in Mobile, AL

Why This Table Is Short

The 2026 CX-70 Plug-In Hybrid makes 323 hp and 369 lb-ft on premium fuel, is EPA-rated at 32 electric-only miles and 26 mpg on gas alone, carries i-ACTIV AWD® on both trims, and tows up to 3,500 lbs properly equipped. A comparison of it against anything runs into the same problem: almost nothing else in this country is a two-row midsize plug-in hybrid, so the closest cross-shops are smaller vehicles that win on electric range and lose on size. Two rows is what survived that honestly, and a table with two sourced rows is worth more than one with five that need footnotes.

How to Read This Comparison

Every figure in the table above carries a source and the model year that source describes. Mazda’s guidelines put verification of a comparison on the dealer, so a row that could not be sourced to a manufacturer publication is left out rather than estimated, and a row the CX-70 Plug-In Hybrid does not lead is recorded in our research and not published here. Ask us for the documentation behind any row and we will show it to you.
