Auto123 puts the 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV to the test. This is the first chapter of our six-part long-term review of the new plug-in SUV.
Auto123 is spending the next few weeks behind the wheel of a Mazda CX-90 PHEV, and we’ll need all of it to properly analyze this new plug-in model from the Japanese brand. Here's the first part of our long-term review.Long answer: Yes, because on the one hand, the CX-9 already had two generations in its legs and, on the other, Mazda has been renewing its entire SUV range since the arrival of the CX-30 in 2020.
Don’t expect a repeat here though. When it comes to the big SUVs, there couldn't be two roosters in the same yard. The CX-9 was Mazda's biggest and most powerful model, and now it’s the CX-90's turn to be the biggest and most powerful. And to make the offer even more enticing, Mazda has slipped a plug-in hybrid configuration into the offering.Believe it or not, the CX-90 is available in eight versions: three with a 4-cylinder-engine plug-in powertrain and five with an inline 6-cylinder engine.The inline 6-cylinder, a new mill featuring turbocharging and mild hybridization, has been slipped under the hood of the GS, GS-L, GT, GT-P and Signature models .At the heart of the plug-in hybrid configuration is a 2.
And so, the PHEV's output climbs to 323 hp on 93-octane gasoline , but loses four horses on 87-octane , which I suspect will be just fine for the average budget-conscious person like me. On the other hand, torque remains the same regardless of your choice at the pump, i.e. 369 lb-ft.
