In 2024, Mazda is introducing two cars that would be a fantastic option for Vancouver, WA, families in the market for a flexible passenger vehicle that elevates the everyday driving experience: the CX-90 and CX-90 PHEV. Here is a closer look at these two vehicles and some questions that your local Mazda dealer will ask to determine which will be the best for you.

The 90 combines elegance with economy. Its main draw is its spaciousness: The car seats eight passengers across three rows while leaving ample space in the trunk to transport wares comfortably and safely. Or for journeys that one makes alone, the second and third rows can fold forward, freeing up even more cargo space in the vehicle’s rear.

The 90 also innovates in terms of aesthetics and technologies. Drivers have their pick of eight trims, and the Panoramic Moonroof, which slides away to embrace the natural world and all its elements, is the final touch to inspire the most liberating ride of one’s life. On the interior, the vehicle is decked out with several high-tech features, such as a 360° View Monitor that enables a driver to see road obstructions in advance and an Active Driving Display that broadcasts key information, such as one’s speed, directly onto the windshield in front of the driver.

90 PHEV

The PHEV is Mazda’s hybrid version of the 90. It has all of the functional and aesthetic features that one would get with the 90, as well as the benefit of an improved combined full efficiency: whereas the standard model gets 25 miles to the gallon, the PHEV gets 56 miles to the gallon. Additionally, it has a 26-mile electric-only range and a 490-mile total range.

Which Is Right in Vancouver, WA? Let Your Mazda Dealer Help You Decide

Both the 90 and the 90 PHEV are among the best cars on the market, but one will slot better into your lifestyle than the other. By consulting a reputable car dealer, you will learn which factors are the most important to you when deciding which to buy. For example, the electric capabilities of the PHEV are going to add dollars to the amount you pay up-front, but the money you save on gas may outweigh this cost in the long run.

Additionally, if you are interested in the PHEV, you need to anticipate how easy it will be to charge the car. The PHEV can charge at home with a standard 120-volt outlet, but it must remain plugged in overnight to get the battery to full capacity after being drained. A Level 2 charger can expedite this process, but one must be purchased, or a public charging station must be close to your home.
