Bob Penkhus Mazda South - What to Know About the 2026 Mazda CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid

Meet the 2026 Mazda CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid, a three-row SUV that blends electrified efficiency with the engaging dynamics Mazda is known for. Its plug-in hybrid system lets you glide quietly on electric power for short trips while the gasoline engine stands ready for longer journeys, all wrapped in a refined, driver-centric package. At Bob Penkhus Mazda South, we focus on making your research and test drive experience straightforward, so you can confidently decide if this flagship plug-in hybrid SUV fits your lifestyle, commute, and weekend plans.

Under the hood, the CX-90 PHEV pairs a responsive gas engine with an electric motor to deliver smooth, confident acceleration. Standard i-Activ AWD adds surefooted traction on dry pavement, wet roads, or snow-covered mountain passes. Multiple Mi-Drive modes help the SUV adapt to your plan for the day, whether that is maximizing electric driving, dialing up responsiveness for a winding road, or prioritizing traction on a rutted trail or gravel path. The result is an SUV that drives smaller than its size suggests, with a balanced chassis and reassuring brake feel thanks to well-tuned regenerative braking.

Inside, the CX-90 PHEV feels thoughtful and premium. Elegant materials and clean design lines surround three rows of flexible seating, with available second-row captain’s chairs and a spacious cargo area for strollers, sports gear, or luggage. An available panoramic moonroof opens the cabin with natural light, while an available Bose premium audio system elevates road-trip playlists and daily podcasts alike. Intuitive technology and well-placed controls keep your attention on the drive without clutter or distraction.

Charging is simple. The CX-90 PHEV accepts Level 1 charging from a standard household outlet, making it easy to top off if you park overnight. A Level 2 home charger significantly shortens charging time and is the best option for busy households that stack school runs, activities, and commutes. On the go, Level 2 public stations are widely available at shopping centers, garages, and workplaces, and the vehicle’s charging port location is designed for easy access whether you back in or nose first. Most owners find that plugging in at home covers the bulk of their daily driving while the hybrid system eliminates range anxiety for road trips.

Safety and convenience features are extensive. Mazda’s i-Activsense suite includes helpful technologies such as Smart Brake Support, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Lane-keep Assist to support awareness and confidence in crowded city traffic or on the open highway. Available features like a 360 degree view monitor, traffic support functions, and driver attention alerts add an extra layer of reassurance. In the cabin, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, USB-C charging points, and Mazda Connected Services keep you and your passengers informed and connected, from remote lock and climate functions to vehicle status checks via a compatible smartphone.
