The plug-in hybrid variant of Mazda’s flagship SUV, the CX-90, was introduced last year, bringing greater efficiency and speed to the three-row family hauler. With an impressively luxurious interior and handsome styling, the 2025 Mazda CX-90 Plug-in Hybrid truly has it all.
6 Favorite Features of the 2025 Mazda CX-90 Plug-in Hybrid
1. Powerful PHEV Powertrain
The CX-90 PHEV uses a 2.5L four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor and a 17.8-kWh battery. Taken together, this powertrain delivers a combined output of 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Power is routed through an efficient 8-speed automatic transmission.
2. All-Electric Driving
Being a plug-in hybrid vehicle, the CX-90 PHEV provides the flexibility to use electricity when you want to and gas when you need it. The SUV offers up to 26 miles of electric-only range, which is more than enough mileage to make short commutes or run errands. Once the battery is depleted, the system automatically switches over to using gas.
3. Standard i-Activ AWD
Mazda’s i-Activ AWD system comes standard on all trims. This system intelligently distributes power between the front and rear wheels to improve grip and handling under all conditions, so whether you’re wanting to take your vehicle off-road or just have peace of mind knowing that your family is safe, you can rest assured that the CX-90 PHEV’s AWD system is working hard for you.
4. Seats Up to Seven Passengers
The CX-90 PHEV has three rows and seats either six or seven passengers, depending on trim. The base Preferred trim comes with a second-row bench seat, while the Premium Sport and Premium Plus trims come with captain’s chairs. The third row includes two seating positions and features its own USB-C ports and vents. Access to the third row is made easy thanks to the tilting and sliding mechanisms in the second row.
5. Luxury Made Standard
Luxury is not optional in the CX-90 PHEV. Even the base Preferred trim comes fully loaded with oodles of lavish interior appointments, including leather-trimmed, heated, and power-adjustable front seats, three-zone automatic climate control, multiple USB-C ports, and a power liftgate. Stepping up to the new mid-range Premium Sport trim adds a 12-speaker Bose audio system and panoramic moonroof, while the Premium Plus trim bathes passengers in Nappa leather.
6. Modern Infotainment System
The SUV’s infotainment system has been updated for 2025. All trims now include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a navigation system. The software is hosted through either a 10.25-inch display or 12.3-inch display, depending on the trim.
With a robust plug-in hybrid powertrain, standard AWD, and a flexible, luxurious interior, the CX-90 PHEV is designed to go above and beyond the needs of modern families. Get started with your test drive at Rochester Mazda in Rochester, MN.
