The appearance of this vehicle is striking! Not because of boldness but the refined, confident, strong vibes it gives off. It is clearly a MAZDA!
My test vehicle secured via DriveShop NYC arrived in the "pearl white" color.
The CX-90 PHEV is a 7 passenger vehicle but handles and drives much smaller.
At slow speeds it can feel tankish, however the performance is there to quickly move you along.
Multiple driving modes (Sport, Normal, EV, Off-Road) are noticeable when engaged. The majority of the time was spent in normal mode and the functionality was fine.
I enjoyed the seating surfaces, they were firm and comfortable. The rear "Captain chairs" were a big hit with the passengers. The drivers side is equipped with lumbar support and multifunctional/positional features.
Lots of cup holders of various sizes suitable for beverage types for the 7 passengers.
The CX-90 PHEV ergonomics make it easy for the driver to navigate the technology and preparing the vehicle for the road.
The infotainment cluster is good, with lots of options. The connectivity with the Bluetooth was a bit wonky. Once connected there was a lengthy delay in making changes from station to station. Possibly a wifi issue but it happened on multiple occasions in different locations.
I found the cameras to be very good and the birdseye/above the vehicle view is a fantastic addition especially when parallel parking. This along with the vehicles outward site lines, large windows and technology assists in making the CX-90 PHEV feel smaller, and the driver to feel safe and secure.
The moon roof is a big hit for me. The functionality and operation were simple. The aerodynamics of the CX-90 PHEV are on display when the moon roof is is open. Hearing and communication with passengers was easy and comfortable.
On the road and at home charging options for EV's is growing. EV's have some charging accessories included. A large aftermarket network is available for those who do not want OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) products. BE CAUTIOUS IN WHAT YOU CHOOSE.
Charging stations are being installed in various areas and more big box retailers are installing multiple units in parking lots. Some lots are offering premium parking spaces for EV charging. As the infrastructure continues to develop we will see more and more vehicles and charging stations to accommodate the progress.
