2026 MAZDA CX-90 PHEV: Three-Row Space with Electric Range
The 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV answers a question most three-row SUVs cannot: what if the school run never used gasoline? Seven seats and a plug-in powertrain rarely share a badge. Town North Mazda in Richardson, TX, has a closer look at what that combination changes.
Power and Performance
A 2.5-liter four-cylinder pairs with a 68-kW electric motor and a 17.8-kWh lithium-ion battery in the 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV, producing 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque on premium fuel. An eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-biased i-Activ® AWD come standard, and the Mazda Large Platform adds double-wishbone front suspension, multilink rear suspension, and Kinematic Posture Control® to keep the body settled through a corner. Mazda Intelligent Drive Select gives you Sport, Off-road, and EV modes. The maximum towing capacity reaches 3,500 lbs when properly equipped.
Technology Features
Mazda Connect anchors the cabin with a 12.3-inch center display, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, Alexa voice commands, and Mazda Connected Services. Premium Sport trims add Mazda Online Navigation with over-the-air updates, a Bose® 12-speaker audio system, an Active Driving Display, SiriusXM®, and HomeLink. Six USB-C ports and wireless phone charging mean a full third row never turns into a negotiation over cables.
Safety Features
Standard i-Activsense® technology on this new Mazda hybrid includes Smart Brake Support, Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist. Other standard features include Driver Attention Alert, High Beam Control, and Mazda Radar Cruise Control™ with Stop & Go. Each system stays quiet until it is needed, which is exactly what you want with a full cabin on a long highway stretch. Town North Mazda can explain how each alert behaves before you take delivery.
Range and Charging
An EPA-estimated 26 miles of all-electric range covers most daily errands, and total driving range reaches roughly 500 miles before you plan a stop. Charging from 0 to 100 percent takes approximately two hours and 20 minutes with a Level 2 240-volt home charger or approximately 11 hours with the included Level 1 120-volt charging cable. Charging times vary based on equipment, battery condition, temperature, and other factors.
