2024 MAZDA CX-90 PHEV PREMIUM PLUS: DETAILED LOOK, CRITICISMS, AND TEST DRIVE

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV Premium Plus offers a spacious interior, particularly in the third row, and a striking design. The reviewer highlights the comfortable Napa leather seats, the impressive 1500W power inverter, and the excellent 360-degree camera system as significant positives. However, the vehicle is criticized for several drawbacks. The reviewer found the liftgate height to be a major issue, consistently bumping their head due to its low clearance. The infotainment system, while functional, is not a touchscreen and relies on a scroll wheel, which can be cumbersome. Furthermore, the vehicle is described as having numerous "annoying sounds" and constant beeping, many of which cannot be turned off, leading to a "nanny type" driving experience. Performance is deemed sluggish for its class, and the ride quality is noted as bouncy and bumpy. The reviewer also points out a lack of lane-centering assist, with the vehicle tending to wander. Despite these criticisms, the reviewer acknowledges the subjective nature of these issues and encourages potential buyers to test drive the vehicle themselves.
