Every 2026 CX-90 PHEV now includes 21-inch wheels, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, a heated steering wheel, an eight-way power driver’s seat with lumbar adjustment and memory, and an eight-way power front-passenger seat.

View our current Mazda CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid inventory above for live availability, equipment, and pricing.
The CX-90 PHEV combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine with a 68-kW electric motor and a rechargeable 17.8-kWh lithium-ion battery.
When the battery has sufficient charge, the CX-90 can use electric power during a variety of driving situations. The gasoline engine can automatically start when stronger acceleration is needed, when battery charge becomes low, or when operating conditions require additional power.
The gasoline engine and electric motor can also work together to provide stronger acceleration. Once the usable electric charge is depleted, the CX-90 can continue operating using its gasoline engine and hybrid system.
Unlike many hybrid SUVs, the CX-90 PHEV uses a conventional eight-speed automatic transmission rather than a continuously variable transmission.
The 2026 Mazda CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid produces up to 323 total system horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque with recommended premium gasoline.
With regular gasoline, total system output is approximately 319 horsepower, while peak torque remains 369 lb-ft.
The combination of gasoline and electric power provides strong acceleration for freeway merging, passing, climbing grades, and traveling with passengers or cargo.
Every trim includes an eight-speed automatic transmission, steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, and standard rear-biased i-ACTIV AWD.
The 2026 Mazda CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid has an EPA-estimated electric driving range of up to approximately 27 miles when fully charged.
This may allow some owners to complete school runs, local errands, shopping trips, or portions of a daily commute using electric power.
Once the usable electric charge is depleted, the gasoline engine allows the vehicle to continue operating without stopping to recharge.
Actual electric range varies based on speed, weather, battery temperature, terrain, climate-control use, passenger and cargo weight, driving style, vehicle condition, and other factors.
The CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid has an EPA-estimated total driving range of approximately 500 miles with a charged battery and a full tank of gasoline.
This combination allows owners to use electricity for shorter local trips while retaining gasoline convenience for road trips and unexpected travel.
Total range varies based on battery charge, fuel level, traffic, terrain, weather, climate-control use, vehicle loading, speed, and driving habits.
The CX-90 PHEV does not have to be plugged in to operate, but regular charging is necessary to receive the greatest benefit from its electric driving capability.
If the battery is not externally charged, the gasoline engine can continue powering the vehicle. However, electric-only driving and potential fuel savings will generally be reduced.
Owners can charge at home using a standard 120-volt outlet or a compatible 240-volt Level 2 charging station.
Drivers without reliable access to charging may want to compare the Mazda CX-90 Inline 6 Turbo, which does not need to be plugged in.
Mazda lists the following approximate charging times from 20% to 80% battery charge under suitable conditions:
Charging from a lower starting percentage or continuing to a complete charge will take longer. Mazda estimates approximately 11 hours for a full charge using Level 1 equipment and approximately 2.5 hours with compatible Level 2 charging equipment.
Charging time varies based on electrical supply, charging-equipment output, battery temperature, ambient temperature, battery condition, and starting state of charge.
Yes. The CX-90 PHEV can be charged using a standard household outlet or a professionally installed 240-volt Level 2 charging station.
Level 1 charging may be sufficient for owners who can leave the vehicle connected overnight and generally drive shorter distances.
A Level 2 charger can restore the battery more quickly and may be more convenient for households with longer commutes, multiple daily trips, or more than one electrified vehicle.
Home electrical capacity and charging installations should be evaluated by a qualified electrician.
Yes. The CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid can use compatible public Level 2 charging stations.
Drivers should verify connector compatibility, network access, payment requirements, posted time limits, and charger availability before arriving.
The CX-90 PHEV is designed for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging and does not support high-speed DC fast charging.
Charge Mode allows the driver to use the gasoline engine to maintain or increase the battery’s state of charge while driving.
The driver can select a battery-charge target so electric power can be saved for use later in the trip.
This may be useful when a driver wants to preserve electric range for a neighborhood, school pickup area, parking structure, or another portion of the route.
Charging the battery through the gasoline engine is generally less efficient than connecting the vehicle to an external electrical source.
Yes. Regenerative braking captures some of the energy produced as the vehicle slows and sends that energy back to the high-voltage battery.
The regenerative system operates automatically and is blended with the CX-90’s conventional friction brakes.
Regenerative braking can help recover energy that would otherwise be lost as heat and may support additional electric driving.
Every CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid includes Mazda Intelligent Drive Select, commonly called Mi-Drive.
Depending on trim, selectable modes include:
The gasoline engine may still start in EV Mode when strong acceleration is requested, battery temperature is outside an ideal range, climate-control demand is high, or other operating conditions require engine assistance.
Yes. Rear-biased Mazda i-ACTIV AWD is standard on every 2026 Mazda CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid.
The system monitors steering input, acceleration, braking, wheel speed, vehicle movement, and available traction to help distribute power between the front and rear wheels.
Its rear-biased design is intended to provide stable traction while preserving a responsive and natural driving feel.
Standard AWD can provide additional confidence during rain, on steep roads, on loose surfaces, and during trips into mountain or desert regions outside San Diego.
Every 2026 Mazda CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid uses an eight-speed automatic transmission with manual-shift capability.
This distinguishes the CX-90 from many hybrid SUVs that use continuously variable transmissions.
Mazda’s transmission is designed to provide a direct connection between accelerator input and vehicle response while coordinating operation of the gasoline engine and electric motor.
Steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters allow the driver to select gears manually when desired.
Premium 91-octane gasoline is recommended to achieve the CX-90 PHEV’s maximum advertised output of 323 horsepower.
The vehicle can operate on regular 87-octane gasoline, producing approximately 319 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque.
Fuel requirements and permitted fuel grades should always be confirmed using the owner’s manual and fuel-door label.
The 2026 Mazda CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid is EPA-estimated at approximately 56 MPGe combined when using gasoline and externally supplied electricity.
After the usable externally charged energy is depleted, the CX-90 PHEV is rated at approximately 26 MPG combined.
Drivers who charge regularly and complete shorter daily trips may use considerably less gasoline than drivers who rarely charge or routinely travel beyond the electric range.
MPGe is an EPA measurement used to compare energy consumption among vehicles that use electricity. Actual gasoline and electricity use varies based on charging habits, traffic, terrain, weather, driving style, climate-control use, passenger and cargo weight, and other factors.
Every 2026 Mazda CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid can tow up to approximately 3,500 pounds when properly equipped with Mazda Genuine Towing Accessories.
This may be suitable for certain lightweight camping trailers, small boats, utility trailers, or recreational equipment.
Premium Sport and Premium Plus trims include Towing mode. The Premium Plus also includes Trailer Hitch View to help the driver align the vehicle with a trailer coupler.
Drivers who need up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity may want to compare a properly equipped gas-powered Mazda CX-90 Inline 6 Turbo.
Maximum towing capacity depends on vehicle configuration, installed equipment, passengers, cargo, trailer weight, tongue weight, battery charge, road conditions, and proper trailer loading. Always follow the owner’s manual and applicable towing limitations.
The 2026 Mazda CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid can seat up to seven passengers, depending on its second- and third-row configuration.
The PHEV Preferred includes a second-row bench seat and a two-person third row for seven-passenger seating.
Premium Sport and Premium Plus models may be configured with either a second-row bench seat or two captain’s chairs, depending on the individual vehicle.
Seating configuration should be confirmed on each vehicle before purchase because the arrangement affects passenger capacity, third-row access, and cargo flexibility.
Yes. Second-row captain’s chairs are available on select PHEV Premium Sport and PHEV Premium Plus models.
Captain’s chairs create additional personal space for second-row passengers and can provide a center walkthrough to the third row.
A second-row bench may be preferable for families that need the maximum seven-passenger capacity.
The CX-90 PHEV’s third row is designed to provide additional seating for children, teenagers, or adults during shorter trips.
Third-row air vents, USB-C charging ports, cupholders, and accessible seat-folding controls improve convenience for rear passengers.
Families that regularly carry adults in all three rows should test the seating position and third-row access before choosing a configuration.
The CX-90 PHEV can be a strong family SUV because it combines three-row seating, standard all-wheel drive, flexible cargo space, and the ability to complete shorter trips using electricity.
Family-friendly features include three-zone climate control, third-row air vents, six USB-C ports, heated second-row seats, available captain’s chairs, rear-window sunshades, a power liftgate, and parking sensors.
Premium Sport and Premium Plus models add a panoramic moonroof, Bose premium audio, expanded safety technology, and available camera systems that can help when maneuvering in crowded parking areas.
Families with reliable home charging may be able to complete school runs, local activities, and shorter commutes while using little or no gasoline.
Cargo capacity depends on the selected seating configuration.
Models with a three-person third row provide approximately:
Models with a two-person third row provide approximately:
The CX-90 can carry groceries and smaller bags with all seats occupied. Folding the third row creates additional space for luggage, strollers, sports equipment, beach gear, or larger shopping trips.
The 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV provides approximately 8.1 inches of minimum ground clearance with its standard 21-inch wheels.
This can be useful on uneven parking areas, dirt access roads, steep driveways, and maintained outdoor recreation routes.
The CX-90 PHEV is not a purpose-built off-road vehicle. Drivers should consider road conditions, tire capability, weather, battery and underbody clearance, and vehicle loading before leaving maintained roads.
The CX-90 PHEV is a three-row midsize SUV, so it is larger than a CX-5 or CX-50. Standard and available parking technology can make it easier to maneuver.
Every 2026 CX-90 PHEV includes front and rear parking sensors and a rearview camera.
The Premium Plus adds a 360-Degree View Monitor with See-Through View, dynamic reverse guidelines, Trailer Hitch View, and power-folding side mirrors.
These features can be especially helpful in San Diego parking structures, shopping centers, school pickup areas, residential garages, and denser neighborhoods.
The CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid can be a strong fit for San Diego families that need three-row seating and regularly have access to home or workplace charging.
Its electric range may cover many shorter trips around Clairemont, Kearny Mesa, Mission Valley, La Jolla, Pacific Beach, North Park, Hillcrest, Downtown San Diego, and nearby communities.
For longer travel, the gasoline engine allows the vehicle to continue without requiring a charging stop.
Standard AWD, three-row seating, substantial cargo flexibility, and 3,500-pound towing capability can also support beach trips, family vacations, mountain travel, and outdoor activities.
The CX-90 PHEV may be especially useful for drivers whose regular commute falls within or near its electric range and who can recharge consistently.
It can use electric power for shorter portions of a commute while retaining gasoline power for unexpected errands or longer travel.
Standard ventilated front seats, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Alexa Built-in, wireless phone charging, adaptive cruise control, and a 12.3-inch display add convenience during travel on I-5, I-8, I-15, I-805, SR-52, SR-56, and SR-163.
