The 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV is a three-row plug-in hybrid (PHEV) SUV that blends Mazda’s signature driving feel with electrified efficiency. For buyers in Mid-Michigan—where winter weather, lake-effect snow and changing seasons are part of the daily driving landscape—this model provides AWD capability and PHEV efficiency in one package.
Exterior Design
The CX-90 PHEV features Mazda’s refined Kodo design language with sculpted surfaces, a long wheelbase and wide stance that ground the vehicle visually. Key points:
- LED headlights, daytime running lights and taillights
- Black wheel arch mold and black or body-colored side molding

- Power sliding glass moonroof
- Rear power liftgate with hands-free feature on all but Preferred trim

Performance
Under the hood, the CX-90 PHEV uses Mazda’s e-SKYACTIV® PHEV system:
- 2.5-litre internal-combustion engine paired with an electric motor and battery pack.
- Combined output: up to 323 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque (with premium fuel).
- AWD (i-Activ AWD®) is standard, enhancing grip on slick roads.
- 8-speed automatic transmission with manual-shift mode.
In Mid-Michigan, the strong torque and AWD system make it well-suited for wet, icy or mild off-pavement conditions (camping, lake access, rural driveways).
Interior and Comfort
Inside, the CX-90 PHEV emphasizes premium materials and flexible seating:
- Leather trimmed first row and second row outboard seats with power front seats

- Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Departure Warning System, Driver Attention Alert, Mazda Radar Cruise Control and many more standard features.
