On the 2025 Mazda CX-70 2.5L Skyactiv-G PHEV I4, as a first model year vehicle, the 2025 CX-70 PHEV experiences powertrain software calibration issues including jerky transitions between electric and gas power, hesitation from stop, and the gas engine starting unexpectedly in EV mode. The hybrid system's calibration for engine-on/off transitions is rough, particularly in cold weather. Mazda has issued multiple TSBs for powertrain software updates.
Visit the dealer for the latest powertrain control module (PCM) software update. Multiple updates have been released since launch addressing hybrid transition smoothness. Use EV mode in city driving and Normal mode on the highway for the smoothest transitions. If the gas engine starts unexpectedly in EV mode, ensure the cabin heater demand isn't triggering engine start (use heated seats instead).

On the 2025-2026 Mazda CX-70, early CX-70 models exhibit a clunking noise from the rear suspension over bumps and uneven road surfaces. The rear stabilizer bar end links and bushings are the primary source, though some reports indicate rear shock absorber mount insulation is also a contributor.
Inspect the rear stabilizer bar end links and bushings — replace if worn. Check the rear shock absorber top mounts for deteriorated insulation. A dealer TSB may cover replacement under warranty.

On the 2025 Mazda CX-70, early CX-70 production units exhibit creaking and popping noises from the panoramic glass roof panel, particularly on uneven roads and during temperature changes. The glass panel expands and contracts with temperature swings, creating contact noise against the frame seals. Some owners also report wind noise at highway speeds around the roof seal area.
Visit the dealer for roof panel adjustment under warranty. The fix involves adjusting the roof panel alignment and applying additional felt padding to the seal contact points. Silicone-based seal conditioner applied to the roof seals can reduce friction noise temporarily. If wind noise persists, the roof may need resealing or the weatherstrip replaced.
