The excitement is here! @Mazdausa loaned me this 2024 CX90 PHEV to drive for a week and I have learned quite alot. This new platform is built with performance and luxury in mind with its dynamic chassis controls, longitudinalRWD layout, and classy proportions. But if you purely are looking for a 3row SUV just for the best cargo room ever, look elsewhere as this is NOT what the CX90 is meant to be. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

@Alllcarnews Spec sheet: 2.5L 4 Cylinder (189HP alone) + (173HP) Electric Motor. 8Speed multi clutch automatic. Combined 323HP & 369 lbft of torque. 14.8kWh battery pack, 060 in 5.9sec, 5,236lbs (around 350lbs more than the Inline6), 3,500lbs max towing (5,000lbs for I6). EPA rated 25miles of range, 2026 as tested. Around 2hrs to charge full, 7.2kW charger.

The build quality, attention to detail, and design are all high points for the CX90 that place it between mainstream and more expensive competitors.

The handling, for a 78 passenger SUV is uncanny in how well the body is controlled, how fluid the steering response is, and how dynamic it feels on the road. Drive a Telluride, Pilot, or Ascent back to back with this and you’ll understand. ⠀⠀

The 8 speed multi clutch gearbox + Powertrain pairing could use some more time in the tuning department. I did experience the low speed stutter some have reported.

Is storage space less than the mainstream competition? Yes, but it isn’t small at all and is huge jump over the CX9. Priority has been directed towards the platform, driving pleasure, and style.

The trim lineup is confusing and Mazda unfortunately held back even on this $58k Premium Plus PHEV, leaving more premium options/features to the top spec Inline6 models.

An easy 8.5/10. I would personally still take the Inline6 but this PHEV has solid potential and stands out against the crowd.
