One Quick Hybrid // 2025 Mazda CX70 PHEV Review 

One thing I will say about Mazda is that metallic red is beautiful on their entire lineup of vehicles.

I hope your kitter is doing better. Lots of furbaby love and support!

Hope Ping is doing better. Love your car reviews and content!

Can we have a update on Mr. Ping Pong . Hopefully he's doing ok.

I used to read Car and Driver back in the eighties, when practically every writer was an engineer, and that was the last time I saw car reviews this technically insightful. Thanks!

"You hear that sound? That's how you know you're gonna get swamp ass". Another golden one liner Sarah! 😂😂 Excellent review as usual!

The BEST car reviewer! Honest, consistent, funny. That's all we need.

"Peeing on cones": now that is a complete instrument package. Love the reviews, Sarah.

The white coat makes all the viewers subconsciously pay more attention... I bet some are even taking notes! 😂

Sarah is my happy place.

i hope mr ping is doing better i always look forward to your video

I really like this channel. "The tailgate looks like an early 2000s Ford Taurus station wagon." Nailed it.

Been praying for both you and Ping. May there be some comfort for you in the midst of such a hard time.

The fact you can use the gas engine to recharge the battery, that is great for those of us that don't own their own home and home charger.

No one does a review on vehicles like you… Love your blogs... Nicely done… ❤️👍👀

Of all the car reviews I've seen, that is the first vehicle that has literally revved "VROOM!" 😂

You really are the best car reviewer out on YT. Everyone out there is boring. And you’re eye candy too. ❤

The door speaker is relocated to the cowl side, in a box under the dash. It's a feature in all new Mazda's since 2019 Mazda3. Makes the bass more punchy with no door rattles and you don't lose any sound through the door cutout. It can also play high res files (flac)

Over 5100 LBS!!!! Wow, the '73 Continental I had back in High School (longer time in the past than I care to remember!!) weighed less!!! But as always your reviews are top notch!!!! Hope Ping is doing better and hope you are coping well Sarah!!

Nothing makes the weekend! like a beautiful review from our favorite Sarah!!!

Some days are made better simply by hearing your voice, this is one of those. Still in my thoughts and prayers.

As a former owner of a 88 RX-7, my 2nd car when I was in high school back in the 90s, and a current Mazda3 awd hb owner, I'm happy to see Mazda stepping up their game. I drove an e90 for 12 years, and wanted a more reliable car that was driver focused and fun, so I went with Mazda. They're what BMW was in the 90s, a driver focus car. Just wish they brought back the Mazda6 and MazdaSpeed.

Lots of thoughts of Ping, wishing him the best. I almost heard Sarah go Project Farm. Steel skid plate “we’re going to test that”

My cat was super interested in the red pointer 👉🏽

How is Mr. Ping Pong. I thought I heard a cat at 2:48, I thought it was one of my four. I had to rewind and play again to hear from your video. Mazda always knows how to make a SUV. I would consider buying. Beautiful color. Like old school candy apple red. Have a Blessed weekend.

I was never a fan of Mazda, except for Miata and RX-7. But it has been doing really well lately. I wish Subaru which was my favorite affordable car brand, could learn a thing or two from Mazda.

I appreciate your quality editing.

Always nice to see Sarah ❤❤

Your confidence is contagious!

Thanks Sarah. Sending you and Ping best wishes.

I’ve always loved that rich color. Reminds me of the color of the NSX you reviewed. Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍

Recently got a CX-30 and absolutely love it. Definitely going to be looking at these when I need a family car eventually.

Good comment about Mazda and Toyota working together. Absolutely agree.

I like the covers on the bottom protecting the cv shafts and stuff, your videos are getting better and better very informative love the added graphics keep up the good work

I love that Mazda pays attention to detail with performance and handling. I like that they are getting more recognized by people here in the US.

I'm leaning towards hybrids.

Stay Strong Sarah, you both are in my prayers .

It’s going to be a great day when I can start it out with a Sarah car review. 😊

Absolutely love your reviews.

Review great as always. You and your cat are in my thoughts and prayers. Love from Rick

Subaru, pay attention to this. Do a Forester hybrid like this since you won’t give us a damn turbo forester.

I woke up feeling like crap probably because it’s been like 116 here in Palm Springs, but now I’m watching your review and smiling…..😅 thank you Sarah💯🙏

What a fantastic review. Beautiful, Smart, and Funny. All the tools😊

Sarah is impressed with every braking test

Sarah, agree 100% on your idea of a Toyota-Mazda Supra. Never thought the BMW Supra belonged. Hope your kitty is better.

OMG, thank you so much for the reply! You are amazing! Cheers!

This is the best review I've seen of ANY car that I watched on RU-vid... Super comprehensive, fun and to the point! Thank you! .... subscribed

Nice review. Always the best from Sarah

Her pointer with the little finger: a precious thing (and effective!)

I love your videos, Sarah! You're so informative and fun to watch… i’ve been watching your videos since the beginning 💙

Hybrids make sense. With enough range to make electric mode useful, then having an IC engine for distance, this would be the perfect balance

Loved the review, details, humor and all! Take my sub!

Sarah my favorite car review you ever did was driving your friends Shelby GT350. I'd love to see you do that one again.

Penquin score of 10 for the red color……..12 for Sarah 😃

Sarah, straight forward + honest review! Thanks!

I do really like this vehicle CX 70.

We’ve had the CX60 Phev for 8 or 9 months now. Been great so far. Done about 60% or driving on EV, and great to have the ability to just jump in and go when needed. It’s not perfect, but none of them are these days. Feels nice and planted during hard cornering, even compared to smaller cars.

Awesome, im binge watching your videos ❤❤❤🎉🎉

Really like the way Mazda is going with electrification

You look beautiful like always!! Thanks for posting your video it was great.

Thank you for your unique style of reviewing automobiles. Reviews are the best when a quirky, pretty, and intelligent lady gives you the scoop on all the tech in a unique style! Best wishes for you and I hope Mr. Ping is doing better.

Sarah, I really like your car reviews..👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻 full of solid information and perspective of the qualities of the car! I’m partial to Mazda and their philosophies and execution of design. Raced Spec Miata and own two more Miatas, phenomenal experiences! Suggestion; perhaps there would be interest in your braking test by commenting about the initial bite of the brake pads. Do your normal brake test then another test immediately after when pads are hot. Sometimes this is drastically different and might be an interesting feature to include in the car review ?? (Has been in my experience) Hope your kitty is ok…🤞🏻 this review may of been filmed prior to Ping’s difficulties?

A+...great job/review. I have the 2024 Mazda CX-50 TPP AWD and love it. The CX-90/70 size is good for some, but I like the CX-50 size + power/weight/fun factor. I did add "proper" 18" wheels and better A/T tires...way more gooder now!

Aloha Miss Sarah. Hope Ping is comfortable and you are hanging in there. PS please watch your back moving cars around.

Watch your head checking the seat bolsters 😂

I concur with your review. Was expecting something different when they announced the cx70, but… Hope you’re spending some quality time with Ping. 🤞🏻

Sorry about your kitty. You seem to spend a lot of time alone. I hope you have folks to talk to when upsetting things come along. Talking to a camera seems a bit sterile though I did appreciate your sharing. Hopefully the animal will recover👍💖🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱

Almost $60k for a Mazada, what a time to be alive.

you’re literally my comfort person i love you kislux !

I was hoping the CX-70 would be smaller than a CX-90 but larger than a CX-50. Instead, its a CX-90 with 2 rows of seats and costs pretty much the same as the 3 row version through out the line-up.

Thanks Sarah!🌻🐧

I rented the inline 6 turbo CX-90 for a week, and one of my trips was from Denver to Aspen over Independence Pass. It handled much better than I expected-this big girl can really dance! I completely agree with your thoughts on the transmission tuning of the inline 6. Part of the odd behavior from the transmission is due to the lack of a torque converter. The inline 6 engine is equipped with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system (MHEV), which uses an electric motor positioned between the engine and transmission.

Yet another awesome teardown and demo. Subaru Ascent going to be on sometime? I would love to see how it rallies and summits (spoiler: I think it will outperform the normally aspirated Forester). Hybrid is slowly becoming a not-bad word, to a normal word, to its final form of epicalityness with Audi RS Q e-tron (Dakar).

Mi-Drive is funny when you say it. I giggled.

I love your personality

One of your best reviews I’ve seen. Excellent. Nice car too. Love Mazda.

Great review, and you didn't risk a concussion this time!😂 If Mazda offered pickups again, how would you like this powertrain in one? Get well soon Ping.

Cicadas bring swamp ass. Great line...so true. Another great and informative vlog. You rock!!!!

Yes, your description of torque made sense!

Another great review, Sarah!! Always a big fan of your work. Hope you have an awesome day!!

Sarah’s looking great after her last video. I am happy.

Happy Friday Sarah!!! Ah yes, Cicadas, the sound of impending swamp ass.🤣 Stay excellent!!!😎

You have my shupport. 😊

Hmmm I want to say that braking system is Ford parts bin🤔 those calipers look familiar

Glad to see you're back at doing what you do and love best. As much as I, and I think we can all agree, love to see your reviews and build content, taking time off should also be on your future agenda. I foresee a great B-day celebration next April. I, too, have a big one coming up then. But 65 isn't as much fun as 40. Take care, and please just think about it.

Ha the first car I had explosive diarrhea in. I ate at Los Toquotos and while driving home I had to fart but end up spraying the seats with acid poop. I used simple green and a scrub daddy to clean it. Mazdas have cheap leather, when this usually happens I can clean it up fast in my 86 Cutlass.

Bolstering test is my fav😂❤

"sounds like the macarena" I own a CX-50 now I'm gonna hear that from now on

9:30 i’ve also noticed hardly any orange peel on their special edition red this car, and the Lexus LC 500 have amazing paint texture👌

Those 275 tires probably helped the stopping effort.

A little something for Ping

Another great review - Sarah, you do have the power to make any car interesting! Wish Mazda would do a hot hatch for you to review, that would be great! Also : "Sarahs Mind Controll Device" 😂 Thank you for what you do and Stay Awesome!

I'm really hoping Mazda brings back the Speed editions! 👍🏼👍🏼Speed4 and 6

Great attention to detail with the hinged engine cover and latch 👍

Turbo s inline paired with the phev battery would be awesome

Sarah talking about a new Supra with a Mazda inline 6 turbo drivetrain... I would buy that in an heartbeat !! Would fit nice in between my 1988 Supra Turbo (built 7M) and my 2024 Mazda 3 Turbo 😎😎 That PHEV with Mazda 8 speed transmission is quite impressive. 😮 Great review Sarah, as always ! 👍👍

Another shuper shnazzy review from Sharah

Sarah, I think you may appreciate what I'm about to say, even though it's sort of a hard-sell in this country. I think when it comes to certain automotive nomenclature, the Brits use some better terms than Americans. Since you prefer calling aluminum by it's over-the-pond term "Al-oo-min-eeum", you may also want to adopt the term "Anti Roll Bar" as opposed to "Sway Bar," because Sway Bars don't primarily do anything to prevent "sway" (which is either a wanted or unwanted result caused from fun or poor driving). What Sway Bars do do is prevent body roll (that "may" end up in a car swaying, but more likely crashing). Even the term Stabilizer Bar makes more sense than Sway Bar, but isn't as on-point as Anti Roll Bar. IMHO the Brits have it right in this case with Anti Roll Bar. And no, the Brits don't always get it right, but here.... YES! You decide for yourself, but it may be worth adopting this term to help maintain the nomenclature accuracy in our country of total duh.

Until one control arm of the dissimilar metal eats the other. 🙀 Love you😍🌹

Every Mazda is a sports car. I live in Japan (Atenza Mafia!) and have met Mazda engineers. They are all batshit crazy about racing and handling.
