CX-90 PHEV Sets the Standard for Hybrid SUVs in 2025

Mazda has officially raised the bar for plug-in hybrid SUVs, and it’s catching everyone’s attention. The 2025 Mazda CX-90 PHEV was recently named the Best Plug-In Hybrid SUV by U.S. News & World Report, and it’s easy to see why. This is more than just an efficient vehicle, it’s a full-sized SUV designed for families, commuters, and drivers who want performance without compromise.

Hybrid Power, Mazda Soul

The CX-90 PHEV blends the brand’s signature driving experience with plug-in hybrid technology. You get up to 26 miles of pure electric range, perfect for daily errands like picking up groceries at ShopRite on Route 273, along with seamless gas-electric switching for longer trips. Whether you’re commuting on I-95 to Wilmington or heading down Route 40 toward Middletown, the CX-90’s intelligent powertrain adapts to your drive with smooth, confident performance.

Beyond efficiency, what sets the CX-90 PHEV apart is its Mazda DNA. The ride is smooth, acceleration is responsive, and handling is precise. As U.S. News put it, “unlike some other plug-in hybrids, it drives quite well in pure EV mode.” It’s not just economical; it’s enjoyable.

Family-First Features with Premium Touches

Designed with growing families and active lifestyles in mind, the CX-90 PHEV offers seating for up to eight, along with flexible cargo options and advanced safety features across every trim. Whether you’re driving the kids to William Penn High School or packing up for a weekend at Lums Pond State Park, there’s space and tech to keep everyone safe and entertained.

Inside, the cabin feels upscale without being overdone. Premium materials, intuitive controls, and available features like a panoramic sunroof and 12.3-inch display keep the experience elevated without losing the everyday practicality you expect in a family SUV.

Built for New Castle and Beyond

The CX-90 PHEV isn’t just a win for Mazda—it’s a win for Delaware drivers. Fuel economy matters more than ever when you’re sitting in rush hour traffic along North Dupont Highway or making weekly trips to the New Castle Farmers Market. With the hybrid setup, you’ll see fewer fill-ups and more savings without giving up on the fun.

Drivers will also appreciate how quietly and confidently the CX-90 glides through places like the Historic District of Old New Castle. Whether you’re exploring town or making your way to the Greater Wilmington Airport, this SUV proves that electrified driving doesn’t mean sacrificing comfort or capability.
