The big factor for me is that the Kia’s are impossible to get. They’ve made so few it’s years away. I found out about the cx90 PHEV in feb and got one by May. Love it so far. Charge at home and at work and it runs mostly on electric. A cheap Amazon adapter makes it wireless CarPlay. The third row is mostly folded down to give me more space than my old RAV 4 had. Overall I’m happy.

@ddavidson5 Год назад

I am still waiting for my CX-90 PHEV to be delivered but our usage patterns seem about the same. Like you I expect to be on electric most of the time with the 3rd row folded for "more than RAV 4" space. Glad to hear you are happy with it

@dansanger5340 Год назад

Regarding how much gas a plug-in hybrid can save you, I drove a Chevy Volt plug-in hybrid 80k miles over six years, and according to the stats in the app I was driving over 90% of those miles on battery. I had a level 2 charger in my home, was very dedicated about plugging it in, and the car had an EV range of 53 miles. With a range under 30 miles, the percentage for me would have been a lot lower, because many times I made it home with little or no charge to spare.

Mazda created a big expectation for the CX-90 and at the end it's a car that is far to be as promised, but at the same time with good condition to be improved. I believe that the best decision is wait one or two years while Mazda implement some corrections as they did for CX-9.

@twystedhumour 11 месяцев назад

Agree. I thought it'd exceed a 525 mi. range, but it's on par with my CX-9 with a 475-495 mi range. It's a '22 and it's paid off.

@clarkkent9080 11 месяцев назад

Fully charged battery gives you 25 miles (40 Km) of range. Combined gasoline economy is 25 Miles per gallon (40Km/gallon). So one battery charge saves no more than ONE gallon of gasoline. In my area, it costs more in electric cost to charge that battery than one gallon of gas. And that is even before you consider the $4,000 PHEV option cost. For those with cheap electric prices and high gasoline prices, you are still looking at 4 or more year to break even on that PHEV option cost

@terryandrews4460 Год назад

For anyone wondering, the CX90 does charge itself while running. I find it odd that @motormouth would leave out this important option during their review! It has a charge button next to the gear selector. Once the EV battery is depleted you can simply activate the charging system until you're at full charge again. It takes approximately 150 to 180 kms for a full charge. No need to stop on those longer trips to charge the battery.

@andreaspencer9813 Год назад

All PHEVs are able to charge themselves while driving using the gas engine. Most people don't charge on the road with PHEVs, they put it in hybrid mode and go. Fuel economy is not great when charging 150-180 kms using the gas engine. I did it and I was up at 12.8L/100 km.

@clarkkent9080 11 месяцев назад

The battery is considered depleted when at 20% capacity and the ICE will charge it no matter what you select to keep it above 20% as even at that low capacity, the electric motor will add to the ICE when power is needed. They system is very complex and there are so many variations that you would need a flow chart to explain them all.

14:12 Plugging in the PHEV: I owned a Pacifica PHEV which would get about 26 miles battery only. We had great success making 95% of our local trips on battery only. On 500 mile road trips we seemed to get 29 mpg. After 6,000 miles I had only spent $350 on gasoline. I am happy with the results.

Picked this up 3 weeks ago (PHEV GT ). Still on my first tank of gas, currently at 1300km and 1/4 of tank of gas still left. I drive into the City (Toronto) twice a week and charge religiously every night. If you can't charge to full daily, this is not for you. Loving it so far. Steering (options would be nice), suspension and seat stiffness could be improved but not a deal breaker for me. Love the look of the exterior and interior...at least at the top trim.

@andreaspencer9813 Год назад

Glad to hear you are enjoying your CX-90 PHEV. I think this will work for many who do short trips daily. You will get great fuel economy if you charge it up and try to drive in EV mode most of the time. That's where you will get the most out of your PHEV.

@showmewhyiamwrong 11 месяцев назад

We picked up our 2nd Outlander PHEV SEL the first week of April. As of today we still have just over 1/2 Tank of gas supplied by the dealership left when we picked it up and after just under 2800 kms. it shows we used 0.8L/100kms. We plug it into a level 1 charger each time we get home. Average estimate of available range each morning runs around 66Kms. The conversion in the software says this is about 332 miles per gallon. It qualifies for the full rebate and Has more options including heated front and rear leather seat plus wireless apple car play etc.. Longer warranty. It has Economy if you want it and Plenty of power if you select "Power" if you feel the urge. Can't see any advantage to getting the Mazda unless you count spending more "money for Less" as an Advantage.

@felixli5279 11 месяцев назад

Aside from sales volume, I suspect a key reason why fewer 2nd row options are available on the CX90 is because of logistics. Final assembly locations of key competitors: Telluride = Kia Georgia Pilot = Honda Alabama MDX = Acura/Honda Ohio G.Highlander/TX = Toyota/Lexus Indiana Pathfinder/QX60 = Nissan/Infinti Tennessee Ascent = Subaru Indiana Atlas = VW Tennessee None of the above models(and their assorted seating options) need to be shipped across the ocean to reach the N.American mkt. Only 2 models in the same midsize 3rows class not built in the U.S. are: Palisade(also limited 2nd row seating options/trims unlike Telluride) = Ulsan Korea CX90 = Hofu Japan Finally, I recall when the current CX9(also only built in Japan) was launched back in 2016, there were initially also limited 2nd row seating options until later model yrs when production ramp-up was completed and Mazda progressively added back more seating options for most trims.

I appreciate the review, Zach and Andrea! I have been itching about "upgrading" my Kia Sorento PHEV AWD Prestige trim (here in the US) to this Mazda PHEV due to its seemingly more room and horsepower. A few things of this Mazda killed the deal: lower EV range, 3rd row seats not really roomy, heavy steering (I drove a CX5 before and didn't like the heavy steering), so so mpg after the EV range is gone...

@dunhamjr5531 11 месяцев назад

I had a Chrysler Pacifica PHEV with a 29mi range and a level 1 charger. I drove the first 1500mi before I needed to get my first tank of fuel, the next tank took over 1000 more miles. PHEV's like this really dont need a level2 home charger unless you drive a lot, but are also at home multiple times per day in between drives so you can take advantage of home charging. with my PHEV i just drove it like a normal car, but plugged it in every time i got home. if i had to leave quickly, i would get only a couple more miles of range... mostly it would just charge overnight and have a full battery the next day.

@QuarterSwede 10 месяцев назад

We just bought the CX-90 PHEV Premium and looked at all the competitors. The short list for us, a family of 5, was 2023 Honda Pilot, 2024 Grand Highlander, and the CX-90. We LOVED the Pilot roominess for the front passenger trunk room (the most usable by far). Never got to see a Grand Highlander as they were selling out before they hit the lot and Toyota wanted $1K (non-refundable) to custom build it with the chance you may get features you didn’t ask for or may not get some you wanted. That isn’t acceptable, honestly. We drove the CX-90 PHEV and loved the look, color (got the deep red with light interior [really gate the black trend]), and features for the price. Mazada also had the most ready to buy current year (new) vehicles by far. Honda dealerships are adding a market price adjustment of +$5K and Mazada was matching the US Federal Tax Credit of $7500 (since it’s made in Japan and doesn’t qualify). That significantly dropped the lease price for us. Leases are currently the cheapest month-month by about $300/month less. The market is so screwed up right now. Overall, we love the car. It hits way above it price bracket. Oh, and every mechanic we talked to said Mazda still makes a reliable vehicle and told us we made a good decision.

I'm new to hybrids so, can someone clarify this for me please. CX-90 has an 18.5 gallon tank and with Mazda's 57 MPGe claim it should equate to 1054 miles per tank(18.5 x 57)....however when I read the maximum range on a tank of gas in a hybrid mode it only shows 490 miles? I'm confused.

@alanbland1976 7 месяцев назад

MPGe is the effective cost of electricity relative to gas while driving in an EV only mode. So, while the electric range lasts, the car's efficiency is in MPGe. When the battery is empty you use the provided MPG values. It makes things a bit complex, but it's only really to give buyers an idea of relative cost to run. The manufacturer still gives a total combined range to fill in that gap.

@davidzavala337 7 месяцев назад

I do 95% city driving and 26 miles is just enough. My concern is the range for long 75 mph travel. Also, Mazda should offer an offroad version as not all of us like skinny tires. On top of that, give more space up front. Too much wasted space and cup holders are to shallow

@ddavidson5 Год назад

I have a CX-90 PHEV top trim on order and looking forward to when I can take delivery, my dealer tells me I am next up for a production number. I do have to wonder if the measly 4HP difference (319HP vs 323HP and zero difference in torque) between using regular fuel or premium is worth the extra 25¢ per liter cost. It seems to me that a fill up with premium will cost $15 more for not much benefit. In any case most of my driving will be in EV mode so it's not a big deal but for a longer trip, unless I am towing or something, premium gas doesn't seem worth the extra cost. Am I wrong about that?

Hey Andrea! Do those 19" wheels soften the ride a bit? Is it enough to matter?

@andreaspencer9813 Год назад

They do soften the ride a bit but it is still firmer compared to other 3-row vehicles in this class.

@kdomster9141 Год назад

Lowering tire pressure makes it softer but higher pressure makes steering lighter but firmer ride . You can adjust it front to rear and pick your favorite combination by few psi more or less for noticable difference. I would hope Mazda had higher budget and could offer adjusting dampers , but hey we get a ton at 60K already...

@terryandrews4460 Год назад

@andreaspencer9813 little bit of info on the firm ride. The shocks on the CX90 do have a break in period and will provide a softer ride once that break in period is complete.

Usually, the difference you pay for a plug-in hybrid vs. a regular hybrid will never give you any ROI... it just depends if you want the extra power and then if you are always gunning it you've defeated any and all gas savings advantage.

You get 7500$ in subventions from the gouvs so the phev isnt a lot more expensive than the mhev

@A3A4Tom Год назад

Even though PHEV makes perfect sense, I still prefer the aura of the straight 6 engine given Mazda is a dynamic brand. That's despite you can get taxpayer's rebate when buying a PHEV while fully gas version doesn't

Not everyone north of the border Zach. We’re far from a monolithic society. Canadians, like yourself, pronounce this closer to the English, for obvious reasons I’m guessing. Funnily enough, our southern neighbours pronounce it closer to the Japanese way. However, many from these three English speaking countries will never find a single carry-oki bar in Japan that has plenty of kara-okay bars.

Are all cx90 phev?

@jimkonopetski3198 Год назад

The Mazda CX-90 is certainly an attractive vehicle. However, I think the hybrid Toyota Grand Highlander seems to be a better value. The fuel economy for such a large 3 row crossover is amazing, and you don't need to fuss with plugging it in every night. The prices are compatible...likely availability with be a challenge for the foreseeable future.

@amyhyde5988 Год назад

The Toyota is more reliable,higher resale value versus the Mazda Suv

@Lucky8s 11 месяцев назад

I don't find it attractive front nor back. The front looks dated. It's odd, it's got full LED headlights, but the design reminds me of much older Mazda's. The rounded rear is just not attractive and I've seen it in person.

Good luck finding one of your choice of exterior and interior color + They dont have hybrid inventory + Dealership charging high markups and interest rates, Fuel efficiency doesn't stand a chance in auch scenarios

@NeedSpeedRC Год назад

9:34 ridiculous design. This will either break or spill when it inevitably collapses. I’m a current 21’ CX-9 owner and was really looking fwd to the PHEV. I’m ok with the compromises with the CX9 but the 90 is asking a little too much.

@user-dj4gh4tn8l 10 месяцев назад

CX9 is discontinued

@lulubell6836 11 месяцев назад

Not bad for their (Mazda) first iteration; average at best. We're not trading our '18 CX-9 for this just yet. It's better to wait for future improvements and if there will be recalls.

@justsomedude7556 Год назад

These car should self charge, then it would be awesome

@terryandrews4460 Год назад

@justsomedude7556 it does charge itself.

@miscellaneousstuff2901 11 месяцев назад

Why are people so ignorant about PHEVs. Their fuel efficiency is entirely dependent in how far you typically drive. If you typically drive less than 40-50k between charges, then it will be more efficient than gas or mhev. If you drive more, then it won't. End of story.

@clarkkent9080 11 месяцев назад

It also depends on your cost for electricity to charge that massive battery and your cost for one gallon of gasoline.

@KaranDhillon1234 Год назад

I wish you had compared the Mitsubishi Outlander phev more, which is similarly priced however smaller and only an emergency third row

@alanbland1976 7 месяцев назад

Yeah, I'm not sure it would be that favourable a comparison though. The Mazda is bigger, yet it's third row is still pretty useless which is the biggest (and very legitimate) complaint about the Outlander. And the Mazda has more horses. The Outlander has 50% longer range, which qualifies it for the full federal/provincial rebates in Canada. It has a slightly better mpg. It has a nicer interior. It has a better warranty. It's a well established PHEV which is known to be very reliable (the CX90 may also be very reliable but there isn't any data yet.) The Mitsu AWD system is better than most. Given how much cheaper the Outlander is with the full rebates I think you'd really need the extra trunk space for it to make sense to buy the CX90. Even with the (slightly) more spacious 3rd row I seriously doubt anyone would want to use it regularly.

There are no perpetual motion machines. All cars have limited ranges. Whether gasoline/electric/diesel or some combination.

@x2oChannel 11 месяцев назад

Unfortunately, once the battery is depleted, you'll get 9.4L/100km, which in my opinion is not very impressive. 42 km might seem OK, but in Canada winters that's more likely going to be down to 25. Why pay ***10,000$*** +taxes only to get 25-42 km on pure electric? Plus, you will have to wait at least 1 year to get one, because they are building less of the PHEV model. Sometimes I think companies are deliberately doing this so we don't buy plug-ins. It's a shame Mazda did not put a larger battery, because it's a nice vehicle, and we need more fuel efficient cars on our roads

@sheldonduffy9442 10 месяцев назад

If you drive at moderate speeds you will get over 26 miles of range… when I charge to full I usually get 28 to 30 miles of range. Mazda isn’t like Tesla who gives you max range under optimum conditions. Mazda gives you realistic range under normal driving conditions.
