The plug-in-hybrid model is expected to share its powertrain with the CX-60, which offers a combined output of 323 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque and claims an electric driving range of 39 miles. The inline-six will likely produce upwards of 300 horsepower and put its power through an eight-speed automatic transmission. We think the CX-70 will offer a choice of either an inline-six gasoline engine with a 48-volt hybrid system or a plug-in-hybrid drivetrain with a 2.5-liter inline-four.
