The 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV is Mazda's most technologically advanced SUV — a three-row plug-in hybrid electric vehicle that delivers 323 combined horsepower, 26 miles of all-electric range, a 490-mile total driving range, 56 MPGe, and the ability to seat up to eight passengers in a cabin that U.S. News describes as something you would be hard-pressed to distinguish from a luxury SUV. It is one of only a handful of plug-in hybrid three-row SUVs available in the mainstream market, placing it in a unique segment between efficient family haulers and premium electrified SUVs from Lexus and Volvo — at a price point that meaningfully undercuts both. The CX-90 PHEV has earned IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ recognition and a 5-Star NHTSA Overall Safety Rating. For Colorado Springs drivers looking for Mazda CX-90 PHEV lease offers, the full suite of Mazda Financial Services lease programs is available at Bob Penkhus Mazda South, located at 1101 Motor City Dr in Colorado Springs, CO. Whether you are coming from Fountain, Falcon, Pueblo, or anywhere across the Colorado Springs metro area, our team is here to help you find the right CX-90 PHEV lease.

26 Miles Electric, 490 Miles Total: The PHEV Case for Colorado Springs

The 2026 CX-90 PHEV's 26-mile all-electric range is purpose-designed for the Colorado Springs daily commute pattern. The average American commutes fewer than 30 miles round-trip per day — which means that for most Colorado Springs drivers, the CX-90 PHEV can cover the full workday round trip on electricity alone, on a charge completed the previous evening. With a Level 2 home charger, the battery reaches approximately 80% charge in 1.5 hours and a full charge in 2.5 hours. Level 1 charging with the included cable takes approximately 11 hours for a complete charge. When the battery is depleted, the CX-90 PHEV transitions seamlessly to hybrid mode — drawing on both the 2.5-liter gasoline engine and the electric motor — extending the total driving range to approximately 490 miles. For Colorado Springs families who take regular weekend trips to Breckenridge, Aspen, Denver, or Pueblo, the CX-90 PHEV eliminates range anxiety entirely: charge for daily driving at home, and the gas engine handles the road trips without limitation.

323 Horsepower and Rear-Biased AWD

The CX-90 PHEV's powertrain pairs a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with a single electric motor producing a combined 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque through an 8-speed automatic transmission — more horsepower than the standard CX-90 inline-six Turbo's 280 hp. Mazda engineered the CX-90 PHEV on a rear-biased AWD platform, giving it a more balanced, performance-oriented weight distribution than the standard inline-six model. The result, in the words of U.S. News, is an SUV that feels "unlike anything else in the segment, with more verve and confidence when the road gets twisty than typical SUVs." For Colorado Springs drivers who regularly navigate the canyon roads above the city — or who simply want their three-row family hauler to feel genuinely engaging to drive — the CX-90 PHEV's chassis dynamics are a meaningful differentiator. When equipped with Mazda genuine towing accessories, the CX-90 PHEV is rated to tow up to 3,500 pounds with Towing Mode.

The 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV Trim Lineup

The CX-90 PHEV is available in three configurations. The PHEV Preferred at $50,495 is the entry point — arriving well-equipped with leather seating, heated front and rear seats, ventilated front seats, an eight-way power driver's seat, heated steering wheel, tri-zone automatic climate control, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Amazon Alexa Built-in, standard 21-inch wheels, and the full Mazda i-Activsense safety suite. The PHEV Premium Sport at $55,300 is considered the best value trim by U.S. News — adding second-row captain's chairs with a center walkthrough to the third row, a Bose 12-speaker premium audio system, a head-up display, a panoramic moonroof, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, navigation, and expanded safety technology including blind spot assist, Traffic Jam Assist, and Emergency Lane Keeping. The PHEV Premium Plus at $58,500 is the most popular PHEV configuration per Edmunds — topping the lineup with Nappa leather upholstery, a surround-view camera with Trailer Hitch View, front cross-traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, and a 360-degree view monitor with see-through view. Rhodium White Premium paint — a pure white with fine grain developed from Mazda's Takuminuri painting technology — is available exclusively on the PHEV Premium Plus.

CX-90 PHEV vs. CX-90 Inline-Six: Which Is the Right Three-Row Mazda?

The CX-90 PHEV and the inline-six CX-90 share the same body, three-row layout, and standard AWD — but deliver very different ownership experiences. The inline-six is the choice for buyers who want the most refined, most driver-focused powertrain in a three-row SUV, with the smooth character of the turbocharged six-cylinder and up to 5,000 pounds of towing on Turbo S models. The PHEV is the choice for Colorado Springs families who have a predictable daily commute under 26 miles, want to minimize fuel costs over a 36-month lease by running on electricity most days, and are interested in the additional performance advantage of 323 horsepower and the rear-biased AWD platform. The PHEV does carry a price premium over the base inline-six trims — but it enters pricing alongside the Turbo Premium Plus, making the comparison most relevant against the inline-six's upper trims. Our team at Bob Penkhus Mazda South can walk you through a full side-by-side comparison of both configurations.
