KODO DESIGN, ELECTRIFIED Exterior design

LONG-HOOD PROPORTIONS Three-row stance
A longitudinally mounted engine lets designers stretch the distance between the front wheels and the dashboard, giving the CX-90 PHEV the long-hood proportions of a rear-drive luxury SUV while still leaving room for three rows.
RHODIUM WHITE PREMIUM PAINT Takuminuri paint craft
Rhodium White Premium is applied with Mazda's Takuminuri painting process, using fine metallic flakes to sharpen highlights and deepen shadows along the doors. For 2026, Polymetal Gray Metallic also joins the CX-90 color lineup.
SEATING FOR SEVEN10 Three rows, two layouts
Every 2026 CX-90 PHEV seats seven. Depending on trim, you get a second-row bench with a two-seat third row, or second-row captain's chairs paired with a three-seat third row.

Mazda CX-90 PHEV FAQ: Charging, Range, MPG & Buying
Is the 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV for sale at Team Mazda in Caldwell, Idaho?
Yes. Team Mazda at 6218 Cleveland Blvd in Caldwell sells the new 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV in Preferred, Premium Sport and Premium Plus trims. Plug-in hybrid inventory moves quickly and changes from week to week, so check our online new vehicle inventory or call 208-455-0322 to confirm availability. If the color or trim you want isn't on the lot, our sales team can help locate one.
How much does a 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV cost?
The 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV starts at $50,695 MSRP for the Preferred trim, $55,500 for Premium Sport and $58,700 for Premium Plus. Those prices exclude options, taxes, title, license fees and Mazda's $1,645 destination charge. Mazda incentives on the CX-90 PHEV change monthly, so ask Team Mazda for current offers and an out-the-door price before you buy.
What is the electric range of the 2026 CX-90 PHEV?
The 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV has an EPA-estimated 26 miles of electric-only range on a full charge, and Mazda lists a total driving range of up to 500 miles with a full battery and a full tank of gas. Real-world electric range varies with temperature, speed, terrain, cabin heating or cooling and how hard you accelerate.
What MPG does the Mazda CX-90 PHEV get?
The 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV is rated at an EPA-estimated 56 MPGe combined when it uses both stored electricity and gasoline. Once the usable battery charge runs low, it drives like a conventional hybrid and returns about 26 mpg combined. Drivers who plug in nightly and keep most trips short can use far less gas than drivers who rarely charge.
How long does it take to charge a CX-90 PHEV at home?
Using the included Level 1 cord on a standard 120-volt household outlet, a fully depleted CX-90 PHEV battery takes about 11 hours to charge, which works well overnight. A 240-volt Level 2 home charger is much faster, taking the battery from 20 percent to 80 percent in about 1.5 hours and to a full charge in roughly 2.5 hours.
Can I charge a CX-90 PHEV at public charging stations?
Yes. The CX-90 PHEV has a standard J1772 port, so it works with the Level 2 public chargers found at many workplaces, stores and parking garages. It is not compatible with Level 3 DC fast chargers, CHAdeMO connectors or Tesla Superchargers. The MyMazda App and the ChargePoint app can help you find and navigate to Level 2 stations near Caldwell and Boise.
Can the CX-90 PHEV run on gas when the battery is empty?
Yes. When the battery drops to its minimum level, the 2.5-liter engine becomes the main power source and also works as a generator to hold a reserve charge, so the SUV drives like a regular hybrid. You can also select Charge mode to build battery charge while driving. The CX-90 PHEV always needs some gasoline in the tank to operate.
How often should I plug in my CX-90 PHEV?
For the best efficiency, plug in whenever the SUV is parked at home, ideally every night. Short daily trips can then run mostly on electricity, and the battery tops up while you sleep. If you forget to charge or head out on a long weekend drive, the gas engine provides backup power, so you are never stuck waiting for a charger.
Is it safe to charge a CX-90 PHEV in the rain?
Yes. The charge port and connector are designed for use in wet weather, with a cap and seal that help keep water and dust out of the port. Mazda still recommends avoiding outdoor charging during heavy rain, strong wind or lightning. If the plug or connector gets wet, wipe it with a clean, dry cloth, and avoid handling the cable with wet hands.
Does cold Idaho weather reduce the CX-90 PHEV's range?
Yes, cold weather can lower electric range. Lithium-ion batteries work best at about 77 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit, so chilly Treasure Valley winter mornings can reduce range, slow charging and soften performance. Parking in a garage, keeping the SUV plugged in overnight and pre-conditioning the cabin through the MyMazda App while it is still charging all help preserve electric range.
How much can the 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV tow?
The 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped with a Genuine Mazda trailer hitch. That covers many small campers, utility trailers and personal watercraft. A Towing drive mode is available, and the Premium Plus trim adds Trailer Hitch View to its 360-degree camera system. Passengers and cargo reduce the maximum weight you can safely tow.
How many people does the 2026 CX-90 PHEV seat?
Every 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV seats seven passengers across three rows. Depending on trim, you get either a second-row bench with a two-seat third row or second-row captain's chairs with a three-seat third row. Cargo space measures 14.9 to 15.9 cubic feet behind the third row and up to 75.2 cubic feet with both rear rows folded flat.
What kind of battery does the CX-90 PHEV use?
The CX-90 PHEV uses a 17.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack to power its electric motor. You recharge it mainly by plugging in, and it also recovers energy through regenerative braking and from the engine when Charge mode is selected. Like the batteries in laptops and phones, plug-in hybrid lithium-ion batteries can be recycled at the end of their service life.
Is the CX-90 PHEV's hybrid battery covered by a warranty?
Yes. Mazda covers the CX-90 PHEV's high-voltage battery for 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first, against defects in materials and workmanship. A separate capacity warranty covers loss below 70 percent of original capacity for the same period. Vehicles registered in states that follow California emissions rules may receive longer coverage. Ask Team Mazda for complete warranty details.
What's the difference between the Mazda CX-90 PHEV and CX-70 PHEV?
Both SUVs share the same 323-horsepower plug-in hybrid powertrain and standard all-wheel drive. The CX-90 PHEV has three rows and seats seven, while the two-row CX-70 PHEV seats five, offers an EPA-estimated 32 miles of electric range and starts at $44,450 MSRP. Choose the CX-90 PHEV if you regularly carry more than five people.
Are there tax credits for buying a CX-90 PHEV in Idaho?
Not at the federal level anymore. The federal clean vehicle credit ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025, and the home charger credit ended for equipment placed in service after June 30, 2026. Idaho also charges a $75 plug-in hybrid fee on top of standard registration. Check with a tax advisor and your electric utility for any local programs.
Can I finance or trade in my car toward a CX-90 PHEV at Team Mazda?
Yes. Team Mazda's finance team can help you compare CX-90 PHEV loan and lease options, and you can apply for financing online before you visit. We'll also appraise your current vehicle so its trade-in value can go toward your new plug-in hybrid, and in Idaho a trade-in can lower the taxable price. Ask about GoTeamCredit if your credit needs work.
