PERFORMANCE
Plug-in hybrid vehicles combine the best of gas and electrical engineering for a powerful pairing. Thanks to an engine and electric motor working together, the Mazda CX-90 PHEV has double the power sources it can pull for a stronger performance.
Power and Energy
The Mazda CX-90 PHEV uses the e-Skyactiv-G® 2.5L 4-cylinder engine for its combustion base. The primary fuel source gives this SUV a powerful kick when you press the accelerator. While gas is consumed, the power is amplified with the 68 kW e-Skyactiv® PHEV electric motor to boost muscle and efficiency. This dynamic duo delivers in a big way.
| Total Horsepower | 323 HP |
|---|---|
| Total Torque | 369 lb-ft |
| Transmission | 8-speed automatic with Manual-shift |
This much power expands the recreational possibilities for your travels. When properly equipped, the Mazda CX-90 PHEV can tow up to 3,500 pounds. Available Towing mode helps ensure your Mazda CX-90 PHEV remains stable even while pulling a boat or trailer.
Handling and Control
Precision handling is important when the road ahead calls for superior engineering. The standard i-Activ AWD® (all-wheel drive) system provides energy to each wheel as needed for more confident driving. With the traction and grip you need to maintain control, you can easily take on rain-slicked pavement and dirt roads.
You’ll also have the dynamic shift of Mazda intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive), with up to five distinct modes:
- Normal
- Sport
- Off-Road
- EV
- Towing (Available)
Changing drive modes is easy, and each change makes micro-adjustments that modify how your Mazda CX-90 PHEV responds, whether based on the situation or your mood.

This Mazda SUV primarily operates as a hybrid vehicle, with its combustion engine supporting the electric motor. Still, the PHEV engine can take over as the sole power source when the battery charge has depleted; with regenerative braking, it will recharge the battery pack for future use.
Electric-Only Energy
The unique EV mode within Mi-Drive lets you experience the world of electric driving. It uses power only from the battery and the electric motor to function, allowing you to conserve gas for when you need it most. If you have short trips or quick errands to run around town, EV mode is the smart move.
You can drive up to 27 miles on battery power alone on a full charge.* This makes it ideal for fast trips to local hot spots before you head home and charge up your Mazda CX-90 PHEV with a Level 1 charging cable or an installed Level 2 home charger. EV mode preserves your vehicle’s fuel tank while still providing full capability.

The standard 12.3-inch touchscreen is your gateway to a variety of features. You can easily adjust settings while staying connected to your phone through standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. Your passengers can charge their devices with two USB charge ports in each row.
Audiophiles will be drawn to the crystal-clear quality of the available Bose® Centerpoint® Surround Sound System with AudioPilot®. It uses 12 strategically placed speakers to turn the cabin into a private concert hall. While you stream your favorite playlist, your device can easily stay at 100% with the standard wireless phone charger.

Anything can happen while you’re on the road, so it’s best to be prepared. That’s why the Mazda CX-90 PHEV comes with i-Activsense®, a suite of driver-assist technologies to complement your safe driving habits.
