4.6 / 10 expert score
Overview
The 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV Premium Plus AWD serves as the range-topping trim level of Mazda's flagship 3-row plug-in hybrid crossover. Combining a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine with a 68 kW electric motor, it features Nappa leather seating, 1,500W onboard power outlets, standard 2nd-row captain's chairs, and an electric-only driving range ideal for daily errands.
Driving & Performance
With a combined 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque on premium fuel, the CX-90 PHEV accelerates confidently. Mazda's rear-biased i-Activ AWD and Kinematic Posture Control (KPC) deliver sharp, engaging road manners that feel surprisingly athletic for a 5,200 lb 3-row SUV.
Technology & Cabin Utility
The Premium Plus trim elevates utility with a 1,500-watt AC outlet in the cargo area—capable of running tools or camping equipment. The cabin features dual 12.3-inch displays, a 12-speaker Bose audio system, a 360-degree See-Through View camera, and wireless smartphone integration.
Pros
- Responsive e-Skyactiv PHEV powertrain with 323 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque
- Usable 26-mile all-electric range covers typical daily commuting and school runs
- Premium Plus interior features supple Nappa leather and high-end Japanese design touches
- Standard 1,500-watt cargo power outlet provides extreme utility for outdoor gear or tailgate power
- Rear-biased i-Activ AWD and Kinematic Posture Control yield engaging, car-like handling
Cons
- Third-row seating space is best suited for children on long highway trips
- Transition between electric and gas power can occasionally feel noticeable under hard acceleration
- Lacks DC fast charging (though Level 2 AC recharges the battery in just 2 hours)
Verdict
The 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV Premium Plus AWD represents exceptional value in the upscale electrified 3-row crossover segment. Delivering 323 hp, 26 miles of zero-emission EV driving, rear-biased AWD handling dynamics, and luxurious Nappa leather appointments, it rivals far more expensive European alternatives.
