The world of SUVs is undergoing a thrilling transformation, with eco-conscious innovation taking center stage. Enter the Mazda CX-90 Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV), a revolutionary offering from Mazda that seamlessly blends exhilarating performance with impressive fuel efficiency. Here at Hello Mazda Valencia, we’re passionate about all things Mazda, and the CX-90 PHEV is no exception.

This blog delves into the numerous benefits of the CX-90 PHEV, exploring how it can elevate your driving experience while minimizing your environmental impact. Whether you’re a Santa Clarita resident seeking a versatile family SUV or an eco-conscious driver yearning for a powerful and efficient ride, the CX-90 PHEV is a compelling option worth considering.

 

The Power of Two: Unleashing PHEV Performance

The CX-90 PHEV boasts a unique powertrain that combines a potent 2.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with a powerful electric motor. This innovative pairing delivers impressive performance without compromising on fuel efficiency.

 

Electrifying Efficiency: The electric motor allows for pure electric driving for your daily commutes, offering an estimated 25 miles of zero-emission range. This translates to significant savings on gas costs and reduced environmental impact for shorter trips. According to the EPA, the CX-90 PHEV achieves an impressive combined fuel economy of 60 MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent) – a testament to its efficiency.

 

Seamless Power Delivery: When the electric battery depletes, the gasoline engine seamlessly takes over, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted driving experience. Additionally, the electric motor provides an extra boost of power for exhilarating acceleration when needed. The CX-90 PHEV’s intelligent powertrain management system ensures a smooth and efficient transition between electric and gasoline power, providing a refined driving experience.

Impressive Performance: Despite its eco-friendly nature, the CX-90 PHEV doesn’t compromise on performance. The combined output of the electric motor and gasoline engine delivers a robust 362 horsepower, ensuring a responsive and engaging drive. This translates to a 0-60 mph time of around 6 seconds, making the CX-90 PHEV surprisingly quick for a mid-size SUV.

 

Beyond Efficiency: A Feature-Rich Experience

The CX-90 PHEV offers more than just impressive fuel economy. It boasts a suite of features designed to enhance your driving experience and cater to your family’s needs:

 

Spacious and Luxurious Interior: The CX-90 PHEV offers a three-row seating configuration, providing ample space for passengers and cargo. The first and second rows offer excellent headroom and legroom, while the third row is best suited for smaller children on shorter trips. The cabin is meticulously crafted with premium materials like leather-trimmed seats and soft-touch surfaces, ensuring a comfortable and luxurious feel for all occupants.

 

Advanced Technology: The CX-90 PHEV comes equipped with Mazda’s latest infotainment system featuring a large 12.3-inch touchscreen display. The system is intuitive and user-friendly, with features like Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration for seamless smartphone connectivity. A head-up display projects essential driving information onto the windshield, minimizing distractions while keeping you informed. Additionally, a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance features like blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and lane departure warning with lane keep assist ensures safety on the road.

 

Intuitive All-Wheel Drive (AWD): Standard i-Activ AWD provides superior traction and control in various weather conditions. This all-wheel-drive system continuously monitors road conditions and distributes power accordingly, offering peace of mind for all-season driving, especially for those living in areas like Santa Clarita where weather can be unpredictable. The CX-90 PHEV’s AWD system also enhances handling and stability, particularly when driving on slippery roads or tackling challenging terrain.

 

Specifying the CX-90 PHEV: A Closer Look

The CX-90 PHEV comes in various trim levels, each offering additional features and amenities. Here’s a glimpse of some key specifications:

 

  • Engine: 2.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with electric motor
  • Horsepower: 362 hp
  • Electric Range: 25 miles (estimated)
  • Combined Fuel Economy: 60 MPGe (estimated)
  • Transmission: Automatic
  • Seating Capacity: 7 passengers

 

 

Drivetrain Layout: The CX-90 PHEV utilizes a front-wheel-drive (FWD) bias with the electric motor integrated into the transmission. When needed, the system seamlessly engages the rear wheels via an electronically controlled clutch, providing AWD capabilities.

Charging: The CX-90 PHEV can be charged using a Level 2 AC charger, which can replenish the battery in approximately 3 hours. Additionally, a standard 120V outlet can be used for charging, although it will take significantly longer (around 14 hours).

A Competitive Edge: How Does the CX-90 PHEV Stack Up?

 

The CX-90 PHEV enters a competitive segment populated by other compelling PHEV SUVs. Here’s a brief comparison to some key rivals.

Toyota Highlander Hybrid: The Highlander Hybrid offers a similar three-row seating configuration and boasts a slightly higher electric range (27 miles). However, the CX-90 PHEV edges out the Highlander in terms of combined fuel economy and overall performance.

Lexus RX 450h: The luxurious RX 450h provides a more premium interior experience and a slightly smoother ride. However, the CX-90 PHEV offers a more engaging driving experience and superior fuel efficiency at a more competitive price point.

Kia Sorento PHEV: The Sorento PHEV presents a compelling budget-friendly option with a longer electric range (32 miles). However, the CX-90 PHEV surpasses the Sorento in terms of horsepower and overall driving dynamics.

While each competitor offers unique strengths, the CX-90 PHEV strikes a compelling balance between performance, efficiency, and features. It delivers an exhilarating driving experience without compromising on fuel economy, making it a strong contender in the PHEV SUV segment.
