What a fun car to drive. The electronics are a bit intimidating but easily learned with a little time. My only apprehension is getting the new PHEV. I’m hoping it is built as well as my other Mazda. With a 96 month warranty on that part of the car I feel comfortable

I’ve had this car for about 2000 miles. We’ve really enjoyed it and I did my research going in so I didn’t have many surprises. It’s a great car for folks that have a <30 mile commute and charge daily. We get >75 mpg factoring in longer trips on the weekend. I have been averaging >30 miles per charge (2 - 2.5 miles/kWh). It also has a high quality interior with plenty of space for families. The only drawback with this car is the performance - the 320+ hp they quote is not accurate. This car has 2 separate engines - an electric motor and inline 4 and it’s relatively hard to get them to work together (you either need to floor it or put the car into sport mode). It also significantly reduces the fuel economy and I’ve found it’s best to stick to EV mode if you can and adjust your expectations for acceleration. Again, I knew this going in and having an underpowered 3 row suv is a trade off I’m willing to take for the fuel economy, PHEV flexibility, build quality, and reliability. It’s also a good value at the price point I was able to get (just over $40k new with incentives) relative to other PHEV SUVs.

Decelerates while driving

This car is dangerous. It should be recalled. After owning it for 2 days it decelerated from 65mph to zero within a few seconds and left me stranded on the freeway. They gave me a loaner that was the same as the original and that one also suddenly decelerated on the freeway! This time it went from 65 to 44 and then suddenly started accelerating again so I wasn’t stranded but it was so dangerous and scary!! I’m not ever driving a Mazda again. We are currently working with them to get our money back.

Poor engine when the small battery runs out. Clunky transmission.

Been a long Toyota/Ford owner and I am impressed by Mazda’s direction since they departed from their relationship with Ford and continued to develop their SkyActiv Technologies. The CX-90 was our first Mazda and it looks and feels great to ride in. First and second row are very spacious. Third row may be a little squishy. The PHEV option has been a gas saver during workdays and only had to fill up on road trips. One thing to note is the long engine bay which may be difficult to work on alone for those that do their own maintenance. Overall, very satisfied owner with no issues so far.
