The 2025 Mazda CX-90 PHEV is more than just another plug-in hybrid SUV. As Mazda’s largest and most luxurious model, the CX-90 PHEV delivers an impressive balance of performance, efficiency, and high-end features. It stands out in the three-row SUV segment by offering an electrified powertrain that allows for short-distance zero-emission driving while still providing the power needed for long highway trips.
Plug-In Hybrid Power with Impressive Performance
Mazda has engineered the CX-90 PHEV with a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine, an electric motor, and a high-capacity battery, producing a total of 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Unlike many plug-in hybrids that prioritize efficiency at the expense of power, the CX-90 PHEV delivers strong acceleration and confident highway passing ability.
The battery provides an all-electric driving range of approximately 50 km, making it ideal for city commuting without using gasoline. Once the battery is depleted, the gasoline engine takes over seamlessly, ensuring that long road trips can be completed without range anxiety. A Level 2 home charger can fully recharge the battery in just a few hours, allowing drivers to maximize their use of electric power.
Premium Cabin with Advanced Technology
The CX-90 PHEV features a luxurious interior with high-quality materials, including available Nappa leather, real wood trim, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The infotainment system is intuitive, with a rotary dial for easy control and a standard Bose premium audio system for high-quality sound.
Mazda has equipped the CX-90 PHEV with a full suite of advanced driver assistance features, including adaptive cruise control, a surround-view camera, rear automatic braking, and blind-spot monitoring. These features enhance safety and convenience, especially when navigating urban environments or highways.
Versatility for Families and Adventurers
As a three-row SUV, the CX-90 PHEV offers generous space for families, with flexible seating configurations and a spacious cargo area. The rear seats can be folded flat to maximize storage space, making it a practical choice for road trips, camping, or hauling large items.
For Canadian drivers who want the benefits of a plug-in hybrid without sacrificing power, luxury, or all-wheel drive capability, the 2025 Mazda CX-90 PHEV is an excellent choice.
