The Mazda CX-70 starts with the well-equipped 3.3 Turbo Preferred. The 3.3 Turbo Premium adds technology and towing upgrades, while the 3.3 Turbo Premium Plus brings a more luxurious cabin and helpful parking cameras. The plug-in branch includes PHEV SC, PHEV SC Plus, PHEV Premium, and PHEV Premium Plus, ranging from practical to luxury-focused. The 3.3 Turbo S Premium and S Premium Plus form the sport-styled, more powerful gas branch, with the S Premium Plus distinguished by its special cabin materials.
The Base Model trim level — 3.3 Turbo Preferred — is the upscale entry point, combining the core CX-70 experience with a generous comfort package.
Best for: Drivers who want a well-equipped CX-70 without moving into the technology- or luxury-focused trims.
Highlights
The Mid-Level trim level — 3.3 Turbo Premium — is the technology-and-convenience step, with richer displays, audio, towing usefulness, and driver assistance.
Best for: Families and road-trip drivers who value stronger technology, easier cargo access, and greater towing capacity.
Highlights
Over the Base Model, it adds towing mode and raises maximum towing from 3,500 to 5,000 pounds, along with a digital gauge display, head-up display, Bose audio, and a hands-free liftgate.

Best for: Shoppers who want an upscale cabin and easier low-speed maneuvering without moving to the S-branded models.

The Plug-in Hybrid trim level — PHEV SC, PHEV SC Plus, PHEV Premium, and PHEV Premium Plus — is the electric-commute branch, progressing from practical SC models to richer Premium versions.
Best for: Drivers who can charge regularly and want short electric trips without giving up AWD, cargo room, or road-trip flexibility.

“3.3 Turbo” identifies the mild-hybrid six-cylinder models, while “PHEV” means plug-in hybrid. Preferred, Premium, and Premium Plus indicate equipment steps. S models add a sport-styled presentation, and newer plug-ins use SC and SC Plus names.
The 3.3 Turbo Preferred is the entry trim in the regular six-cylinder range. On newer models, it is still well equipped with leather seating, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a sunroof, and all-wheel drive.
The 3.3 Turbo Premium generally adds towing mode, a digital gauge display, a head-up display, Bose audio, a hands-free liftgate, power-folding mirrors, and additional driver assistance. It is the main technology and convenience step.
The 3.3 Turbo Premium Plus shifts toward comfort and cabin finish. It adds Nappa leather, a panoramic roof, adaptive headlights, a 360-degree camera with trailer-hitch view, extra low-speed safety aids, and a household-style cargo outlet.
The S Premium is the sport-styled choice and adds a Driver Personalization System alongside Nappa leather, a panoramic roof, Bose audio, and a 360-degree camera. The regular Premium Plus emphasizes upscale comfort without the S-branded presentation.
The S Premium Plus mainly makes the cabin more distinctive. It adds quilted tan Nappa leather, a two-tone leather steering wheel, suede-like dashboard trim, front and rear footwell lighting, and a 150-watt cargo-area outlet.
On newer models, the PHEV SC is the simpler plug-in trim with synthetic leather and core utility features. SC Plus adds leather, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, a head-up display, parking sensors, and more power-seat features.
On earlier CX-70 plug-ins, Premium Plus adds Nappa leather, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, a power front passenger seat, a 360-degree camera, and added low-speed safety features.
Mazda changed the plug-in trim ladder. Earlier CX-70 PHEVs use Premium and Premium Plus, while newer models use SC and SC Plus. Compare equipment within the same model year rather than treating those names as exact equivalents.
The 3.3 Turbo Premium is the sensible step for those priorities. It adds towing mode, a head-up display, digital gauges, Bose audio, a hands-free liftgate, and expanded driver assistance without moving into the more luxury-focused trims.
The 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus is the dressiest gas trim. Its cabin stands apart with quilted tan Nappa leather, a two-tone steering wheel, suede-like dashboard trim, and added ambient footwell lighting.
On newer models, the PHEV SC Plus is the comfort-focused choice, with leather, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and a head-up display. Among earlier plug-ins, the comparable luxury-focused choice is PHEV Premium Plus.
The 360-degree camera is associated with upper trims, including the 3.3 Turbo Premium Plus, 3.3 Turbo S Premium, and S Premium Plus. Earlier PHEV Premium Plus models also include it. Equipment should be checked by model year.
Earlier PHEV Premium and Premium Plus models have a 1,500-watt cargo-area outlet suited to higher-power devices. The gas 3.3 Turbo Premium Plus and S Premium Plus use a lower-output 150-watt cargo outlet.
