2024 Mazda CX-90 Trim Level Comparison | 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus vs PHEV Premium Package
Hey there, folks! This is Adam from the Walser Automotive Group, and we’ve got a pair of the latest 2024 Mazda CX-90s. We’re here to take a deep dive into these new models and help you decide which one might be the perfect fit for your needs. So, let’s get started!
First up, we’ve got the 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle). This model is pretty special as it offers an impressive combined range of 56 MPGe, which means you’re getting excellent fuel efficiency. You can even drive it for about 26 miles purely on electric power after charging it at home or at a level 2 charger. Imagine running errands or shuttling the kids around town on pure electric power – that’s quite a money-saver at the pump. And don’t worry, if your battery runs low, you’ve still got a standard gas engine to keep you going without range concerns.
Speaking of driving, all Mazda CX-90s come with a smart all-wheel drive system. It’s rear-wheel biased to give you that enjoyable, sporty driving experience that Mazda is known for. Even though it’s their largest SUV, Mazda wanted it to feel as fun to drive as their iconic Miata. Both of these CX-90s sport the same stylish 21-inch wheels with a polished face, and the Artisan Red Metallic color truly shines, complementing the wheels and gray interior perfectly.
Let’s head inside the PHEV now. Inside, the PHEV boasts wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, navigation, dual climate control, and heated seats. The leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob feel great, and the comfortable seats are power-adjustable. This version has a second-row captain’s chair configuration with a removable center console.
Safety is paramount, especially for family drives. Both CX-90s are loaded with driver assistance features, including collision avoidance, blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and even a heads-up display to keep your attention on the road.
Now, moving on to the 2024 Mazda CX-90 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus. This one’s a true powerhouse with its 3.3-liter turbocharged engine delivering 340 horsepower. It’s a bit thirstier than the PHEV but offers exhilarating performance. The interior is absolutely luxurious, with heated and ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, and a stunning black and light brown two-tone design. The infotainment screen is sizable, making navigation and wireless Apple CarPlay a breeze. This version offers seating for six, including heated rear seats and a beautiful center console.
Both models feature various drive modes to suit your style, whether you want a sporty drive or are venturing off-road. The PHEV excels in efficiency, while the 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus focuses on performance and upscale comfort.
In the end, it all comes down to what you prioritize – the outstanding fuel efficiency and electric capabilities of the PHEV or the robust performance and luxurious features of the 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus. If you’re in the market for a third-row SUV, the 2024 Mazda CX-90 is definitely worth exploring.
