Why this car stands out
This vehicle is ideal for families seeking an upscale, safe, and engaging three-row SUV that offers the flexibility of electric-only commuting for short trips and efficient hybrid power for longer journeys, especially those who appreciate Mazda's driving dynamics.
Strengths
Upscale interior design and quality materials for its class.
Engaging and agile handling for a three-row SUV.
Offers a useful 26 miles of all-electric range for daily commuting.
Achieved top safety ratings from both NHTSA and IIHS.
Tradeoffs
The third-row seating can be tight, best suited for children.
The native infotainment system can be complex and distracting.
Some reviewers note a crude or unrefined feel in the PHEV drivetrain's transitions between gas and electric power.
Observed fuel economy when not utilizing the full EV range can be unremarkable.
What you might regret
Those who prioritize a consistently seamless hybrid powertrain experience or require a truly spacious third row for adult passengers on extended trips might find the CX-90 PHEV less satisfying.
