A lot of Santa Fe driving is made up of short trips: the school run, errands along Cerrillos Road, a quick hop to the Railyard or Canyon Road. Then there are the long ones, like the run down I-25 to Albuquerque or a weekend up US-84/285 to Taos. Electrified Mazdas are built to handle both. At Santa Fe Mazda, 2704 Cerrillos Road, you can compare the CX-50 Hybrid, the CX-70 PHEV and CX-90 PHEV plug-in hybrids, and the CX-70 and CX-90 with the 3.3L turbo inline-6 mild-hybrid system.
Browse the electrified inventory above, then use the guide below to sort out hybrid, plug-in hybrid and mild hybrid, and which one suits your garage, your commute and your weekends.
Mazda does not currently sell a fully electric vehicle in the US, so its electrified lineup falls into three groups: a full hybrid that charges itself, plug-in hybrids that can run on electricity for local driving, and a mild-hybrid inline-6 that adds electric assist to a gas engine. All of them come with all-wheel drive. Select a model name to see that model’s inventory.

The CX-50 Hybrid uses a 2.5L gas engine, electric motors and an e-CVT built on Toyota-sourced hybrid technology, for 219 total hp. Its battery recharges through the engine and regenerative braking, so you simply fill up and go. The EPA rates it at 39 city, 37 highway and 38 mpg combined, and electronic AWD with a rear electric motor is standard.
The CX-70 PHEV teams a 2.5L engine with an electric motor for 323 system hp in a five-seat, two-row body. Mazda lists about 32 miles of electric range for the current model, which covers plenty of round trips inside Santa Fe. It tows up to 3,500 lbs when properly equipped, so a small trailer is still on the table.
The CX-90 PHEV brings plug-in efficiency to Mazda’s three-row SUV. Its 2.5L engine and 68 kW electric motor make 323 hp and up to 369 lb-ft on premium fuel. The EPA rates it for up to 26 miles of electric range, Mazda states up to 500 miles of total range, and it tows up to 3,500 lbs when properly equipped.
Mazda’s 3.3L turbo inline-6 uses a 48V M Hybrid Boost system that adds electric assist for smoother take-offs and engine restarts. It makes 280 hp and 332 lb-ft, or up to 340 hp and 369 lb-ft in Turbo S trims on premium fuel, with an EPA-estimated 25 mpg combined and up to 5,000 lbs of towing on select trims.
The deciding factors are usually where you park overnight and how far you go on a normal day.

Mazda’s current US electrified lineup includes the CX-50 Hybrid, the CX-70 PHEV and the CX-90 PHEV, plus the 3.3L turbo inline-6 mild-hybrid powertrain in the CX-70 and CX-90. You can compare all of them at Santa Fe Mazda on Cerrillos Road.
Not in its current US lineup. Every electrified Mazda can refuel at a gas station, and the two plug-in models can also drive on electricity alone for shorter trips.
A hybrid like the CX-50 Hybrid recharges its small battery through the engine and braking, so it never plugs in. A plug-in hybrid like the CX-70 PHEV or CX-90 PHEV has a larger battery that you charge from an outlet, allowing all-electric driving before the gas engine takes over.
The EPA rates the CX-90 PHEV for up to 26 miles, and Mazda lists about 32 miles for the current CX-70 PHEV. Earlier CX-70 PHEVs were rated lower, so check the window sticker. Real-world range shrinks in cold weather, at highway speeds and on long climbs.
It comes with standard electronic AWD, and selectable drive modes let you adjust how it responds to the conditions. Paired with good winter or all-weather tires from our Mazda tire center, it is a solid choice for snowy Santa Fe streets.
Yes. When properly equipped, the inline-6 CX-70 and CX-90 tow up to 5,000 lbs on select trims, and the CX-70 PHEV and CX-90 PHEV tow up to 3,500 lbs. Ratings depend on configuration, so ask us to confirm the figure for a specific vehicle.
In Mazda’s lineup, the CX-50 Hybrid has the highest rating at up to 38 mpg combined (EPA est.), with standard AWD. If you can charge at home, a PHEV may use even less fuel on short trips. Actual mileage varies with driving habits and conditions.
