A teaser has dropped for Mazda's upcoming flagship.

The 2024 Mazda CX-90 Will Offer a Plug-In Hybrid

Mazda’s largest crossover debuts in 2023 with a performance-orientated PHEV option.

Mazda has been a bit slow to come around to electrification. The MX-30 was… a start. Rather than go for another EV right now, the brand is taking a hybrid approach: Mazda announced that the all-new 2024 CX-90 will have a plug-in hybrid variant with a bit of added performance.

While Mazda didn’t give many details, the company did release a teaser image, seen above. We do know that this will be the second powertrain option after the all-new inline-6 engine the company is debuting as well. Mazda did say that this new PHEV will be a combination of performance and efficiency. “The CX-90 PHEV will maintain the responsiveness, performance, and driving dynamics that define Mazda vehicles. This all-new e-Skyactiv powertrain, tuned specifically for the North American market, will provide customers with the best of both worlds in terms of performance and efficiency,” Mazda said.

If the plug-in hybrid setup is similar to the drivetrain used in the CX-60 crossover, which debuted in markets outside the U.S. earlier this year, it will be a 2.5-liter inline-4 paired with a 100-kWh motor. That vehicle can go up to 42 miles on electricity alone in the city, or up to 39 miles on the highway. A report out of Australia also says that the turbocharged inline-6 could also get a 48-volt mild hybrid setup. We’ll just have to wait and see. The 2024 Mazda CX-90 is set to make its debut in January 2023.
