I am not going to talk about how the car preforms or the looks inside or outside. The other reviews do that well enough, what i like to mention is the Federal and State rebates. Is the great value verses non PHEV's. I was serious going to lease a MDX Type-S, but with that price around $75K and with no discounts available, I decided to relook at the CX90 PHEV. Coming from a CX9, I was constantly receiving emails on offers and rebates from Mazda. When I discovered the $7,500 rebate from the Federal and the State ( Colorado ) of $5,350, I was like " what am I a fool " this rebate is plus the Mazda's rebates and what you can negotiate from the dealer to reduce the MSRP. How's $60K MSRP to $ 42K selling price. Please everyone check out your Mazda's or other PHEV online with your local dealers before heading down there. Also check if your State offer any EV rebates.

Elegant car, sturdy drive, and feels safe. The ride is smooth and quiet. Tons of updates with the panoramic moonroof and phev option. I have 2 cons with the vehicle: 1.) Phev should have a minimum of 50 miles or more. I had a Jeep wrangler with the same opportunity. 2.) Pano moonroof only open 9 inches, give or take Other than that I would’ve given it 10 stars out of 5!!! :)

I test drove many 2 and 3 row SUVS and just loved the CX90. It is quick, comfortable, and very good looking. The fit and finish is stellar, lots of soft surfaces the interior has a high class feel. The infotainment system has lots of features but is not intuitive to set up. I hope with daily use it will become easier. Mazda hit a home run.

I was a Mazda fan for years, having owned multiple models, including the CX-5 and CX-9. Most recently, I had the CX-90 PHEV Premium Plus for 1.5 years. Initially, I was thrilled—the styling, luxurious interior, and the promise of PHEV efficiency made me feel like I had made a great choice. But over time, the cracks started to show—this vehicle is a case study in engineering misplaced priorities. Mazda Focused on Everything Families Don’t Need If you’re buying a three-row SUV for family use, ask yourself this: Do your passengers care about a double-wishbone suspension? Do they care that you’re “one with the car” while driving? Or do they care about comfort, space, reliability, and ease of ownership? Mazda prioritized “driving dynamics” over what actually matters to families, and in the end, they failed to deliver an SUV that works for real life. Safety is excellent (the only positive). Crash test ratings are strong, and that’s the only area where this SUV shines. Everything Else is a Problem: Cramped Third Row & Tight Cargo Space – Families need room for kids, luggage, and gear. The CX-90 fails miserably in providing functional space. Hard, Uncomfortable Seats for Long Trips – The seat cushions feel like stiff foam, making long trips a painful experience. Rough Ride & Heavy Steering – Instead of a smooth, family-friendly ride, Mazda created a stiff, jittery, uncomfortable drive that feels like a 1985 Volkswagen Beetle. An SUV That You Serve—Instead of It Serving You Mazda designed this vehicle like a high-maintenance luxury item rather than a functional SUV. The PHEV System Isn’t Worth It You must charge it daily for minimal fuel savings (at best, I saved about $1 per day on a 30-mile commute). If you don’t charge it, the fuel economy isn’t great—you’re carrying a heavy battery for no real benefit. Winter shrinks EV range to 17 miles, making the plug-in system even less useful. The electric motor sounds like a toy RC car—this SUV doesn’t feel refined or premium. Tires Wear Out Too Fast Due to the extra weight from the battery, tires wear faster than usual. You’ll be replacing tires sooner than expected, wiping out any fuel savings. Mazda’s Dealer Network is Limited Nearest Mazda service centers are often an hour away—that’s a problem if you need repairs. Most parts come from Japan, meaning longer wait times for replacements. Even under warranty, you’ll waste time and money traveling for service. 10 Recalls in 1.5 Years—and Counting My CX-90 never failed on me, but it had 10 recalls in just 18 months. Software updates will continue—because that’s how software works. Power loss while driving was a real issue (recall issued, but more could come). Driving Experience: The Worst of Both Worlds Mazda wanted to blend sportiness with family practicality, but instead, they failed at both. Drives Like a 1985 Volkswagen Beetle – You feel every bump, crack, and imperfection in the road. The suspension is stiff, the ride is harsh, and the steering is heavier than it should be. Cruise Control is Jumpy – Lower gears feel jerky and unrefined, like a manual transmission driven by a beginner. Not Fun, Not Comfortable – If you want a sporty drive, this isn't it. If you want a family SUV, this isn’t it either. Hidden Costs: What Mazda Won’t Tell You EV & PHEV Registration Fees – In some states, PHEVs have extra registration fees to offset lost gas tax revenue. Higher Electricity Costs = No Real Savings – At $2.50/gal gas, the savings are nearly wiped out. Insurance & Repairs Will Be Expensive – This is a low-production vehicle with imported parts. If you plan to keep it long-term, expect repair costs to be high. Final Verdict: Don’t Waste Your Hard-Earned Money on This Gimmick If you’re looking for a reliable family SUV, look elsewhere. Yes, it’s safe. Yes, it looks nice. But it’s unreliable. It’s cramped. It’s uncomfortable. It prioritizes engineering gimmicks over real-world usability. This vehicle is Mazda’s attempt at proving they can build an over-engineered SUV—but they forgot about the people actually buying it. Don’t waste your time and money. There are better SUVs out there that actually serve families, not just look good in marketing materials. Whatever you do, if you have a family, DO NOT buy the CX-90 on either versions
