Drive Beyond Limits: 2025 CX-90 PHEV
A cutting-edge SUV with plug-in hybrid performance

The 2025 CX-90 PHEV merges Mazda’s hallmark craftsmanship and agility with forward-thinking efficiency. It is designed to provide ample space for passengers and cargo while maintaining the responsiveness that enthusiasts have come to expect from the brand. By pairing a powerful yet efficient petrol engine with an electric motor, this model delivers a versatile blend of performance, refinement, and reduced emissions for everyday driving.

Efficient Performance with Hybrid Power

Beneath the bonnet, the 2025 CX-90 PHEV features an advanced e-Skyactiv powertrain that combines a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine with an electric motor and a high-capacity battery pack. Together, they produce an impressive 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, delivering confident acceleration and robust pulling power when merging on motorways or tackling steep inclines. This plug-in hybrid system allows the vehicle to operate in electric-only mode for shorter urban commutes, reducing both fuel consumption and tailpipe emissions. The well-balanced chassis works in harmony with the standard i-Activ all-wheel-drive system, ensuring stability and grip in varied road conditions. An eight-speed automatic transmission without a traditional torque converter provides smooth gear changes, contributing to a more direct and engaging driving experience.

Refined Interior and Tech

Stepping inside reveals a cabin engineered for comfort as well as connectivity. Soft-touch surfaces and premium trim elements create an atmosphere that feels inviting yet modern, showcasing meticulous attention to detail. Multiple interior configurations offer flexible seating for up to seven or eight occupants, depending on whether second-row captain’s chairs are chosen. For those who enjoy bringing gear along, foldable rear seats expand the cargo area, accommodating larger items with minimal fuss. On the technology front, the CX-90 PHEV boasts a centrally mounted display that can measure up to 12.3 inches on select trims. This display hosts infotainment controls that can be operated using a rotary dial or via touchscreen for certain functions. Features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration come standard, allowing easy access to navigation apps, streaming services, and hands-free messaging. Available wireless charging pads keep smartphones powered on the move, and well-placed USB ports cater to passengers in multiple rows. Thanks to thoughtful noise-insulation techniques, the cabin remains serene, so drivers can fully enjoy conversations, music, or the gentle whir of the electric motor when operating in EV mode.

Comprehensive Trim Choices

The CX-90 PHEV is offered in several trim levels to meet a variety of preferences. The entry-level model includes essential comfort features such as heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and a power driver’s seat for an elevated sense of convenience. Moving up introduces additional amenities like a larger infotainment screen, leather upholstery, and ventilated front seats for added comfort during hot summers. More advanced trims may include features such as a panoramic sunroof that brightens the cabin, premium audio systems that enrich the driving soundtrack, and a 360-degree monitor for enhanced visibility during parking manoeuvres. The highest trims bring in luxury touches, including Nappa leather, real wood accents, and ambient interior lighting, elevating the ambiance to near-premium levels. Regardless of the chosen trim, each CX-90 PHEV includes a suite of advanced driver-assistance technologies, providing extra peace of mind for daily travel.

Safety and Peace of Mind

Mazda has equipped this plug-in hybrid SUV with a robust safety framework to help protect occupants and pedestrians. Standard driver-assistance features like Adaptive Cruise Control aid in maintaining safe distances on long highway stretches, while Blind Spot Monitoring offers visual and audible alerts when other vehicles are detected alongside. Lane Departure Warning, combined with Lane-keep Assist, gently steers the vehicle back on track if unintentional drifting is detected. Upgraded trims may include Traffic Jam Assist, which helps manage low-speed stop-and-go driving, reducing driver fatigue in congested areas. The available Forward Obstruction Warning and Automatic Emergency Braking can intervene if a collision risk is imminent, applying the brakes or adding braking force to mitigate the impact. Strategic chassis engineering and carefully placed crumple zones contribute to occupant protection, demonstrating Mazda’s commitment to safety on multiple levels.

Practical Range and Charging

The CX-90 PHEV’s battery pack can be charged in several ways, whether through a standard household outlet or faster Level 2 charging stations. Charging times vary, but an overnight charge at home can typically restore enough electric range to cover daily errands in EV mode. For longer trips, the combined hybrid system steps in seamlessly, allowing for efficient motorway cruising without sacrificing performance. Drivers can monitor battery usage through the infotainment display, switch between driving modes to optimise efficiency, and track how effectively regenerative braking recovers energy. This flexibility underscores the vehicle’s dual nature: economical electric power in urban environments and a capable petrol engine for extended road trips.

Driving Dynamics and Versatility

Even though the CX-90 PHEV is a larger SUV, it remains nimble and responsive thanks to carefully tuned suspension and steering systems. This agile handling complements the powertrain’s brisk acceleration, providing a confidence-inspiring feel whether weaving through busy traffic or winding along scenic routes. The all-wheel-drive system distributes torque to the wheels as needed, improving both grip and overall driving stability. Versatility is further highlighted by multiple drive modes, including Sport mode for sharper throttle responses and EV mode for quiet, all-electric operation. Whether transporting the family, running errands, or embarking on a weekend getaway, the vehicle adapts to each scenario smoothly and efficiently.

From its advanced hybrid powertrain to its carefully crafted interior, this SUV brings together what many drivers seek: a modern, spacious vehicle that stands out with eco-friendly technology. Its various trim options mean you can choose a feature set that aligns with personal needs, whether that’s focused on pure practicality or elevated luxury. By offering both performance and a greener footprint, the 2025 CX-90 PHEV is poised to meet the evolving demands of today’s drivers.
