The 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV sets the standard for plug-in hybrid SUVs, with quick acceleration, capable handling, and three rows of seating to accommodate up to eight people. Its upscale interior, advanced safety features, and easy-to-use tech give customers the choice to drive an eco-friendly vehicle without compromises. We love this plugin hybrid, and we think you will, too. Here are four things to love about the 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV. 1. Powerful Performance Performance might not be the first thing you think of when you hear "plug-in hybrid," but it will be after you drive the Mazda CX-90 PHEV. Powered by a 2.5-liter gasoline engine and 68 kW electric motor, the CX-90 PHEV produces up to 323 horsepower and 369 lb.-ft. of torque. For improved traction and handling on a variety of road surfaces and conditions, standard i-ACTIV AWD directs power to the wheels with the most grip. 2. The Best of Hybrid and Electric Worlds Combining a hybrid engine with plug-in charging capability gives you all the advantages of each, with fewer disadvantages. All-electric vehicles are efficient, but they take time to recharge and tend to have lower ranges than gasoline models. Hybrid vehicles offer plenty of range and the convenience of quick gasoline fill-ups, but produce emissions and are less efficient than EVs. The CX-90 PHEV can be charged at home or at public charging stations using a Level 1 or 2 charger, giving you an EPA-estimated 26 miles of electric-only range. So if you're running a few errands around town, you can do it without ever using a drop of gasoline. But if you need to travel further, you can do it worry-free, knowing you can drive up to 490 miles with the hybrid engine. 3. Flexible Seating and Cargo Options The CX-90 PHEV's seating offers a variety of configurations, allowing you to choose more space for cargo or for people. The second row is available as a bench seat or captain's chairs, and the third row offers plenty of space overhead for tall passengers. The cargo area offers 14.9 cu. ft. of space with the seats up and features a 1500w power outlet so you'll have electricity on any adventure. 4. Mazda Connected Services Stay connected to your CX-90 PHEV from your smartphone with a complimentary 3-year trial of Mazda Connected Services. With this subscription, you can use the MyMazda App to lock and unlock doors or start and stop the engine. You can also locate your vehicle on a map and turn the hazard lights on to make it easier to find at night. Or check on your tire pressure, fuel levels, and more. To find even more reasons to love the CX-90 PHEV, call or visit our showroom at Auffenberg Mazda of O'Fallon in Shiloh, IL. Our trained sales consultants would love to introduce you to our large selection of vehicles and answer all your questions.

Are you looking for the best place to get car financing for a new Mazda vehicle? Your Mazda dealer is the best place to go. Dealership financing is beneficial for people with busy schedules, low credit scores, and picky natures. Let's examine in more detail the benefits of financing through your Mazda dealer in Shiloh, IL. 3 Benefits of Getting Car Financing through Your Mazda Dealer 1. Online Application and One-Stop-Shopping Do you have an extremely busy schedule? Dealership financing can help. Not every bank and credit union allows you to apply for a loan online, but the vast majority of dealerships, including ours, do. Once your credit pre-approval comes in, you can come down to the dealership and get everything done all in one place, fast and easy. Once you're here, you can get an appraisal for your old vehicle, sell it to us, and pick out a new or used Mazda from our lot. You can use the value of your trade-in to lower the asking price of your new vehicle, and then you can fill out the paperwork to make that car yours. Once you're done, you can drive straight home behind the wheel of your brand-new ride. The entire process requires a single trip. 2. No Limits on Picking Your New Car Are you picky about what you want? If so, going to a dealer first is a very good idea. People who are very specific about what features and options they like in a car, or people who have their heart set on a particular model, should find a dealer that has the car model they desire in stock. From there, you should apply for financing through that dealer. This is because there's no guarantee you'll get a car that meets your wants and needs when you apply for financing through a traditional financial institution. Banks and credit unions often have networks of dealers they require their customers to pick their new car from. You can never guarantee that one of these dealers will have a car that you're 100% happy with. As a new car is such a huge investment, it's important to be completely satisfied. 3. Loan Approval for Low Credit Scores Is your credit score a little less than perfect? Imperfect credit is common but may make it difficult to qualify for a loan through traditional financial institutions, but you'll most likely get approved when you apply through a dealer instead. Dealerships don't have the same strict financial requirements as traditional financial institutions when it comes to applying for a car loan. If you can't get a loan anywhere else, then a dealer may still approve your application. Come to Auffenberg Mazda of O'Fallon in Shiloh, IL to apply for financing today. You can also complete your pre-approval online through our website.
