What’s the Difference Between the Mazda CX-90 and CX-90 PHEV?
The CX-90 is a gasoline-powered version of the PHEV. While these two three-row SUVs have similar interior features, the main difference is their drivetrain. Under the hood of the CX-90, you’ll find a 3.3-liter V-6 engine that delivers up to 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque.
The CX-90 PHEV has a hybrid powertrain with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and electric motor that together generate 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. According to Mazda, if you use a 240-volt Level 2 charging system, you should be able to charge the CX-90 PHEV from 20% to 80% in about one hour and thirty minutes. All three trims come standard with Mazda’s i-ACTIV all-wheel-drive (AWD) system for added traction on wet and snowy roads. The Mazda CX-90 PHEV achieves a combined 25 mpg, with a combined MPGe of 56.

From leather-trimmed seats with eye-catching contrast stitching to supple nappa leather on the top trim, Mazda doesn’t skimp on sophisticated materials. Inside the cabin of the CX-90 PHEV, you’ll notice how spacious and driver-centric it is, with a minimalist design that makes driving soothing and convenient. You’ll also appreciate the automatic three-zone climate control system with a pollen filter during the Pottstown spring.

To maximize the space, fold both rows for up to 74.2 cubic feet, giving you ample room for groceries, luggage, and gardening supplies.
With second-row captain’s chairs on higher trims, the Mazda CX-90 PHEV has a center walk-through for easy access to the front of the vehicle. The 60/40-split folding third-row seats give you room to carry long or bulky items such as golf clubs.
