Sacramento, California -- The Mazda CX-90 sport-utility vehicle has saved my bacon a couple of times during our short history together, yet still giving me time to enjoy its numerous charms.
The recently tested 2025 Mazda CX-90 PHEV Premium Plus upheld the vehicle's standards, sans the bacon saving this time around.
The tester made its case in the first 10 minutes I was behind the wheel.
An interior motif featuring black Nappa leather was easy on the eyes and comfortable to the touch. The sticker read a hefty $60,000 -- courtesy of a super-loaded version -- and included a host of max five-star federal government crash test ratings.
The long list of included perks included paddle shifters, a power panoramic moonroof, heated power mirrors with embedded turn signals, lane-keeping assist, radar-assisted cruise control and a hands-free power liftgate.
The Premium Plus package included ventilated front seats, heated second-row captain's chairs and smart brake support.
All in all, a luxurious setting for 60 grand.
Other bonuses: plenty of room for seven passengers and a gas-electric fuel mileage equivalent of 56 miles per gallon in combined city/highway driving.
That power package translates to a robust 323 horsepower, giving the CX-90 a definite edge muscling into tight spots and out of harm's way. At freeway cruising speed, the tester was smooth and pleasantly quiet.
Overall, this CX-90 stacks up as a player in a segment crowded with pricey SUVs with strong luxury reputations. If you're in the market for that kind of vehicle, the CX-90 should be on your test-drive list.
