Mazda’s 2025 CX-70 PHEV: stylish design meets hybrid performance — does it deliver?

It's a very nice car, but I wish it was EV-only

I'm partial to good-looking vehicles and have a long-standing opinion that Mazdas usually look classier than their competition. Whether it's rounded body corners, unique paint colors, or a sportier profile, Mazdas look like they should cost more than they do. When I had the chance to drive a 2025 Mazda CX-70 PHEV for a week recently, it didn't disappoint in appearance. It looked great.

The CX-70 is an AWD, two-row, five-passenger version of the Mazda CX-90. It's a mid-sized SUV that looked more upscale and sportier than the other gray, black, or white compact-to-medium SUVs that make up most of the vehicles on the roads and in parking lots in northern Connecticut. The Mazda looked like it was poised to take off.

F1: Isack Hadjar fills the last vacant seat for the 2025 season

Hadjar is the most recent F1 promotion from the Red Bull Junior program

Izack Hadjar is the new Racing Bull driver for the F1 2025 season.

The Formula 1 driver shuffle is over, at least for now. In the last of three moves associated with the Red Bull Racing organization, Isack Hadjar was named Yuki Tsunoda's teammate on Red Bull's second F1 team, which is now called Racing Bulls.
Meet Isack Hadjar
Hadjar is the most recent promotion from the Red Bull Junior program to a seat in an F1 race car. The Junior platform, which Red Bull began in 2001, has now promoted nineteen young drivers. Among the earlier promotes are Daniel Ricciardo, Sebastian Vettel, and Max Verstappen.

Hadjar is 20 years old. He has driven for the Campos Racing team for two years and finished second in total points this year. The 2024 F2 Champion, Gabriel Bortoleto, was promoted earlier to drive for the Kick Sauber F1 team in 2025.

These are the most reliable new cars for 2025, according to Consumer Reports

Consumer Reports' most reliable cars

Subaru Forester

While many of us start our new car shopping with a car we happen to think looks good, it is essential to remember that today, the average cost of a new car is over $48,000. For most people, that is a sizeable investment that will be stretched over several years and should not be taken lightly. As with all significant investments, it should be thoroughly researched beyond what our neighbor or coworker says about their car.

Thankfully, Consumer Reports has done the heavy lifting for all of us, reaching out to owners nationwide. They gathered data on 2020 to early 2025 model years, totalling more than 300,000 vehicles. CR took twenty typical problem areas, ranging from cheap interior trim pieces breaking to engine and transmission maladies that can tally up to thousands of dollars to replace or repair. The scores for each area are weighted according to severity and cost, and the total of those areas results in each vehicle's Predicted Reliability Score.
