A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), like the 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV, can help you travel efficiently and reduce your carbon footprint, while still having the peace of mind of gasoline as a backup. You just have to decide which PHEV is right for you. We’re comparing the Mazda CX-90 PHEV to the Hyundai Tucson PHEV at Freysinger Mazda to illustrate all the areas the Mazda SUV shines.
Both of these efficient SUVs are equipped with a plug-in hybrid powertrain, which gives you the flexibility to use electric power when conditions allow and seamlessly switch to gasoline power when necessary. The Mazda CX-90 PHEV has a 26-mile EPA-estimated electric range, while the Hyundai Tucson PHEV can travel up to 33 miles with electric power. When it comes to total driving range, however, the Mazda CX-90 PHEV reigns supreme with an impressive 490-mile total driving range as opposed to only 420 miles in the Hyundai SUV.
While you can travel efficiently in both of these PHEVs, you never have to sacrifice performance in new Mazda models. The Mazda CX-90 PHEV uses an e-Skyactiv®-PHEV 2.5-liter engine and electric motor to deliver an enticing 323 total system horsepower and up to 369 lb-ft of torque. However, the Hyundai Tucson PHEV can’t quite compete with its 1.6-liter four-cylinder turbo engine and electric motor which only generate a 261 total system horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.
Size is a big difference between the two SUVs, which you’ll quickly see at first glance. The Hyundai Tucson PHEV is a compact SUV, which includes five-passenger seating or up to 66.3 cubic feet of cargo space, with the second row folded flat. You’ll find considerably more space in the three-row Mazda CX-90 PHEV, which can carry up to eight passengers, depending on the configuration you choose. You can also fold the rear seats flat for an ample 74.2 cubic feet of cargo space.
These are merely a few of the highlights of the 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV – don’t forget it’s also a sleek, stylish, and innovative Mazda SUV.
