At SouthWest Mazda in Lawton, OK, we understand that choosing the right SUV is a big decision. With the introduction of the Mazda CX-90 and the Mazda CX-90 PHEV, Mazda gives you two great options, both delivering a premium experience, but with key differences. Whether you're considering the all-gas version or the plug-in hybrid, we'll walk you through the benefits of each to help you make the best choice for your lifestyle.

Performance: Gas vs. Plug-In Hybrid

The Mazda CX-90 offers both traditional gas-powered and plug-in hybrid powertrains, so you can choose the one that best fits your driving preferences and environmental goals. Here’s how they compare:

• Mazda CX-90 (Gas): Equipped with a 3.3L turbocharged 6-cylinder engine, the CX-90 delivers impressive horsepower and torque, ensuring smooth acceleration and strong performance for all your driving needs. It offers a smooth ride, excellent handling, and the capability you expect from a full-size SUV.
• Mazda CX-90 PHEV: The plug-in hybrid version combines a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine with an electric motor to provide an excellent balance of performance and efficiency. With the ability to drive on electric power alone for short commutes, the CX-90 PHEV reduces fuel consumption and emissions while still delivering plenty of power when you need it. It offers up to 25 miles of electric-only range, which makes it perfect for daily commuting without the need to use gas.

Range and Fuel Efficiency

The Mazda CX-90 and CX-90 PHEV offer different advantages when it comes to fuel economy and driving range:

• Mazda CX-90 (Gas): The gas-powered CX-90 has an estimated range of up to 500 miles on a full tank, making it ideal for long trips without the need to refuel constantly. Its EPA fuel economy is around 23 MPG combined, depending on the trim level.
• Mazda CX-90 PHEV: The plug-in hybrid offers about 25 miles of electric-only range, and once the electric charge is depleted, the vehicle switches to the gas engine, providing an overall range of approximately 400 miles. With its combined electric and gas efficiency, it achieves an estimated 50 MPG equivalent.

Towing Capacity & Capabilities

When it comes to towing, both the CX-90 and CX-90 PHEV offer impressive capabilities:

• Mazda CX-90 (Gas): The traditional gas-powered Mazda CX-90 can tow up to 5,000 pounds, making it well-suited for hauling trailers, boats, or campers.
• Mazda CX-90 PHEV: The PHEV version can tow up to 3,500 pounds, which is a little less than the gas-powered version but still more than enough for smaller trailers or recreational equipment.

Transmission & Performance Upgrades

The Mazda CX-90 offers an excellent driving experience with smooth, responsive transmission options:

• Mazda CX-90 (Gas): The gas version comes with a smooth 8-speed automatic transmission, delivering responsive shifts and a dynamic driving experience.
• Mazda CX-90 PHEV: The plug-in hybrid model also uses an 8-speed automatic transmission but features enhanced energy regeneration modes that allow you to maximize your electric range.

Reliability and Maintenance

Both the Mazda CX-90 and CX-90 PHEV are built to last and come with Mazda’s renowned reliability. Mazda vehicles are known for their low maintenance costs and long-term durability. The CX-90 and CX-90 PHEV come with a 3-year/36,000-mile limited warranty, while the hybrid battery in the PHEV is covered for 8 years/100,000 miles.

Does the Mazda CX-90 Require Premium Gas?

The Mazda CX-90 (Gas) recommends premium gasoline for optimal performance, especially when driving with the turbocharged engine. The Mazda CX-90 PHEV does not require premium fuel, as it uses both gasoline and electric power to optimize fuel efficiency.

What is the Warranty on the Mazda CX-90 PHEV Battery?

The battery in the Mazda CX-90 PHEV comes with an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty, giving you peace of mind knowing that your hybrid system is well-covered for the long term.

Which is Better for You? Mazda CX-90 vs Mazda CX-90 PHEV

Choosing between the Mazda CX-90 and CX-90 PHEV depends on your priorities. If you prefer a traditional gas-powered SUV with strong towing capability and long-range efficiency, the Mazda CX-90 is an excellent choice.
