A hybrid SUV can be a comfortable and economical vehicle that effectively balances performance and flexibility. With the hotly anticipated release of the 2025 Mazda CX-70 PHEV, the storied Japanese automaker raises the bar even higher for power, comfort, and technology. Tumminia Mazda explores how this cutting-edge hybrid SUV compares to the Jeep® Grand Cherokee 4xe.
Power and Range
Hybrid powertrain technology has come a long way in a short time, to the point where a hybrid SUV can be counted on to deliver every ounce of muscle as a traditional all-gas engine. While the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe offers somewhat higher output than the Mazda model (375 net horsepower versus 323 in the Mazda CX-70), this comes at a cost. Both models have identical EPA-estimated all-electric range of 25 miles, but the Mazda SUV pulls ahead in total range, 480 miles*, instead of the Jeep model’s 440-mile range. That translates to less frequent gas station stops in the Mazda SUV.
Design
When it comes to interior design and technology, the 2025 Mazda CX-70 PHEV offers a comprehensively better experience. Among other high-class touches, the new Mazda CX-70 features a Bose® 12-speaker premium auto system, while the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe starts with a six-speaker setup and forces buyers to choose a more expensive trim for the upgraded sound system. The Mazda SUV also offers more luxury features as standard equipment, whereas Jeep SUVs relegate them to higher trim levels.
Driving Dynamics
This metric is admittedly subjective, but it’s all the more reason to take a test drive. The Mazda CX-70 draws on decades’ worth of fine-tuning the connection between the driver and their vehicle, and it shows in this model’s on-road performance, which is more engaging and refined than what you’d find in a Jeep SUV, where the assumption is that owners will trade a bit of roughness for off-road chops.
