The 2025 Mazda CX-90 PHEV Premium Plus is an ambitious attempt to blend three-row family utility with plug-in efficiency, though the execution reveals some compromises. The 323 hp combined output from its 2.5L hybrid system delivers adequate performance at 6.2 seconds to 60 mph, and the 8-speed automatic is far more refined than typical hybrid transmissions. Mazda's signature driving dynamics remain evident, with responsive steering and composed handling unusual for this size class. The interior is genuinely premium, with quality materials and thoughtful design throughout all three rows. However, the 26-mile electric range is disappointingly short for a PHEV at this price, and the 56 MPGe figure lags behind competitors like the Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid. At $53,050, it is competing with well-established luxury brands. Best suited for Mazda loyalists who want a stylish, engaging three-row SUV with some electrification benefits, provided they accept the limited EV range.
