Why the MAZDA CX-90 PHEV Stands Out
The MAZDA CX-90 PHEV blends an advanced e-SKYACTIV® powertrain with a premium design. Its 2.5-liter inline-four engine, paired with an electric motor, produces a total of 323 horsepower—outshining its competitors in power. Meanwhile, an elegant, driver-centric cabin and available Nappa leather elevate every journey. With an EPA-estimated 26 miles of all-electric range* and impressive overall efficiency, the Mazda CX-90 PHEV also caters to families seeking both eco-friendly commutes and long-distance capability.
Toyota Highlander Hybrid
While the Highlander Hybrid is reliable and spacious, it sacrifices excitement for efficiency. Its 243-horsepower output is considerably lower than the Mazda PHEV, and it lacks a dedicated all-electric range, relying solely on its hybrid system.
Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid
The Sorento PHEV offers a similar plug-in system with 32 miles* of electric range. However, its smaller interior, consumer-oriented materials, and limited cargo space make it less accommodating for families compared to the MAZDA CX-90 PHEV’s spacious and well-appointed three-row layout.
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV
Though the Outlander PHEV competitive all-electric range, it falls short in terms of comfort, refinement, and performance. Its 248 horsepower doesn’t match the driving exhilaration and smooth handling offered by the Mazda CX-90 PHEV.
