As a plug-in hybrid vehicle, the 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV is a three-row SUV that seats up to eight people. This SUV is an excellent addition for buyers who frequently carpool and those who are looking for a more sustainable way of commuting. The team at Middletown Mazda reviews some of this new model’s fuel-efficient features.
PHEV Powertrain
This SUV’s efficiency can be attributed to its plug-in hybrid powertrain, which is comprised of a 2.5-liter engine and 68 kW electric motor, for a combined 323 total horsepower. The electric motor and engine are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission that uses a wet clutch in place of a conventional torque converter. This enables smooth power transfers between the engine and the electric motor.
Mi-Drive
The brand’s Mi-Drive enables the driver to seamlessly switch between different drive modes. One of the modes includes the fuel-saving EV. This mode is perfect for all-electric driving around town. For longer trips, the powertrain combines power from the engine and electric motors for optimized performance and range.
Charging Efficiency
Charging time varies depending on the charger type. The battery can reach 80 percent in just 90 minutes using a Level 2 AC charger. With a Level 1 Charger, you can replenish the battery to 80 percent in six hours and 40 minutes. The addition of regenerative braking also assists by using kinetic power from braking to replenish the battery.
