Step inside the 2026 Mazda CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid and you’ll immediately notice how thoughtfully the interior is arranged.

Performance: Plug-In Power

At the heart of the 2026 Mazda CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid is an e- SKYACTIV-G® 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor and battery pack. This PHEV powertrain produces up to 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque.

An e-SKYACTIV®-Drive eight-speed automatic transmission sends power through Mazda’s i-ACTIV AWD drivetrain, which comes standard. This setup ensures stable traction in varying weather conditions across Huntersville and greater North Carolina.

The plug-in hybrid system offers an all-electric driving mode for short commutes. Expect an EPA-estimated EV range of 27 miles on a full charge, making it ideal for errands or daily drives without using gas. Once the battery is depleted, the hybrid powertrain seamlessly transitions to gasoline-electric operation.

Fuel economy is impressive for a three-row SUV. EPA estimates reach up to 26 combined mpg, placing the CX-90 PHEV competitively among similar vehicles such as the Kia Sorento Hybrid and Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid. This 2026 model is more than efficient even on longer drives.
