Upcoming Mazda Hybrid Models

In 2024, Mazda is premiering the CX-90 plug-in hybrid. The vehicle is an inspiring combination of electric and diesel power. You have the flexibility to charge up at your garage and be on your way, leaving clean air in your wake, or fuel up at a gas station when it’s convenient. The CX-90 plug-in hybrid can run on pure electricity for up to 26 miles. Add gas to the mix, and you’re looking at a combined 56 mpg. The hybrid SUV’s 323-horsepower powertrain engine is the perfect solution if you’re not ready to go completely electric.

The entire family can fit into the CX-90 plug-in hybrid SUV. We have three different trims on offer: the Preferred, the Premium, and the Premium Plus. Get ready for a first-class experience with three rows of smooth leather seating, automatic climate control in all three zones, and windshield wipers with rain sensors. Mazda makes driving simpler and more comfortable. Adaptive cruise control and heated front seats come standard, even with the base trim.

Whether you’re packing your rear passenger seats full of passengers or need more space for your bags, Mazda has you covered. There’s a minimum of 14.9 cubic feet of cargo space, which is boosted when you take advantage of the cargo floor storage or fold the second and third passenger rows. Loading heavy gear? The programmable rear power liftgate can adjust to the height of your choosing.

At Mazda, a sustainable experience prioritizes passenger comfort as well. The CX-90 plug-in hybrid SUV has an automated moonroof to let in natural light. The SUV’s exterior comes in six colors when you buy the Preferred trim: Rhodium White Premium, Deep Crystal Blue Mica, Jet Black Mica, Platinum Quartz Metallic, Soul Red Crystal Metallic, and Machine Gray Metallic. Sonic Silver Metallic and Artisan Red Premium are additional color choices for CX-90 Premium and Premium Plus owners.

Put your safety concerns to rest with the Mazda CX-90 plug-in hybrid. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has rated the 2024 hybrid as a 2023 Top Safety Pick+. Mazda’s suite of i-ACTIVSENSE safety controls includes road-keep assist, blind-spot assist, and Smart City Brake Support to help you adapt to all weather and road conditions. Another great feature is Mazda’s Mi-Drive, an intelligent driving system with five different modes that optimize the vehicle’s powerful all-wheel drive.

You’re less likely to forget your groceries in the back seat — the rear seat alert will sound if any objects or passengers are left behind when you leave the vehicle. Purchasing your Mazda CX-90 plug-in hybrid entitles you to a complimentary three-year trial of Mazda Connected Services on the MyMazda app. You can use the app to check your car’s power levels, find nearby charging stations in Fort Worth, and contact emergency services.

The Mazda CX-90 is designed to help drivers and passengers relax. When the hybrid SUV’s battery needs to be charged, the gas engine is automatically engaged. Even when the gas engine is running, fuel emissions are lower than vehicles fueled by internal combustion engines. The 17.8 kWh lithium battery comes with a 100,000-mile or 96-month warranty.

Visit us to take the vehicle for a test drive and the next step in your journey to sustainable living. The plug-in hybrid Preferred trim starts at $49,945, and the plug-in hybrid Premium Plus trim has a starting price of $57,450. Other Mazda CX-90 hybrid trims include the Turbo and Turbo S models, which are outfitted with a 0.33 kWh battery and have reduced emissions, though they’re not capable of operating on pure electricity like the CX-90 plug-in hybrid.

Technological Advancements in Mazda EVs and Hybrids

Mazda employs the latest smart technology to promote passenger safety and comfort. The Smart City Brake Support system not only gives drivers forward collision alerts but also triggers the automatic emergency brake to prevent collisions. Your phone can automatically connect to the infotainment system via Bluetooth, and the navigation maps have three years of free updates.

The electric battery can charge with a 120V charger at a standard speed. To fully charge the battery in only two and a half hours, you can use a Level 2 home charger. Rainy days don’t affect your vehicle’s electric charging capabilities. Mazda plug-in hybrid charging ports can withstand small amounts of water, and they’re protected by a cap cover and a partitioning seal. The Mazda CX-90 plug-in hybrid can also be charged at any Level 2 charging station.

The CX-90 plug-in hybrid is completely integrated with smart technology. The Mazda Connect Infotainment System is compatible with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Choose from the standard 10.25-inch screen or the larger 12.3-inch version. You can charge your devices easily with the wireless charging pad. And with the 12-speaker Bose audio system installed, music and news broadcasts are an immersive experience.

Sustainability Initiatives and Environmental Impact

Sustainability is the cornerstone of Mazda’s hybrids and EVs. All electric batteries are completely recyclable, reducing dangerous electronic trash in the earth’s landfills. In its 2023 Sustainability Report, Mazda highlighted the emissions reduction technologies in its vehicles’ gasoline and diesel engines using three-way catalytic converters. Additionally, the company is working to minimize the use of environmentally hazardous materials in its supply chain. Since 1999, Mazda has reduced the leakage of substances listed on the Pollutant Release and Transfer Register into the air and water by 80%.

Mazda’s Vision for the Future of Mobility

Mazda is looking toward an eco-friendly future where fossil fuels are no longer the standard. Mazda expects to market EVs in the United States in the coming years. The pioneering Mazda electric car could be released as early as 2025.
