The 2024 Mazda CX-90 was a step towards the premium auto market for the Japanese brand. It is a comfortable, spacious, well-appointed, and good to drive family 3-row SUV. Now, Mazda is introducing the CX-90 as a plug-in hybrid vehicle with up to 42 km (26 miles) of range. But the demo vehicle I’m reviewing here is not a top-spec trim. So does the CX-90 still feel premium as a mid-level trim and is the PHEV just as good as the inline-6?

Unlike the inline-6 engine, the 2.5L naturally aspirated 4-cylinder that’s under the hood of this CX-90 PHEV is one that we’re all familiar with. It’s been used in many other Mazda vehicles such as the CX-5 and CX-30. And just like many other Mazda vehicles, this engine has two power outputs depending on what grade of fuel you put in the tank.

Though this plug-in hybrid version of the CX-90 is heavier and doesn’t have quite the same power figures of the inline-6, it can still manage a 0-100 km/h in just under 6.5 seconds. More than enough Oomph for 3-row SUV owners. With the engine not being turbocharged, the CX-90 PHEV is a fast responding SUV when the mood takes you.

Providing the energy is a 17.8 kWh battery pack. Mazda estimates the all-electric range is 42 km (26 miles). During my time with the car, I noticed the engine turning on after about 36 to 39 km (22 – 24 miles) of electric-only driving.
