The Power of Plug-In: A Smarter Way to Drive

The most significant advantage of the Mazda CX-90 PHEV is its advanced powertrain. As a plug-in hybrid, it offers up to 26 miles of all-electric range, allowing you to handle errands and daily drives around Austin without using a drop of gasoline. The Santa Fe, as a traditional hybrid, cannot offer this gas-free capability. When longer trips are needed, the CX-90 PHEV's gas engine seamlessly takes over, providing a total driving range of up to 490 miles.

Standard Luxury, Inside and Out

From the moment you step inside, the Mazda CX-90 PHEV asserts its premium status. Leather upholstery is standard on every trim, an upgrade you have to pay extra for on the Santa Fe Hybrid. The driver-focused cockpit features a seamless design and high-end technology, including an available Bose® premium audio system and an Active Driving Display that projects key information onto the windshield, helping you keep your eyes on the road.

The Mazda CX-90 PHEV is engineered for a superior driving experience. It comes standard with i-Activ AWD® and boasts a higher ground clearance, making it more capable on rougher Texas roads. For those who need to bring a boat to the lake or a trailer for a weekend trip, the CX-90 PHEV's 3,500-pound towing capacity far exceeds the Santa Fe Hybrid's 2,000-pound limit.
