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. more 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.

The 2024 Mazda CX-30 is a sporty vehicle with a luxurious interior and an array of standard features. There's a whole lot about it that you'll find exciting, including an array of innovative features that make it stand out from the crowd. Let’s check out four of the most innovative features you’ll find when you slide behind the wheel of the new Mazda CX-30 for a test drive. more 1. Active Intelligent Driver Assistance Features Driver assistance features are always an impressive and extremely useful part of every car. In the 2024 Mazda CX-30, you'll find Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Traffic Alert standard, making it easier than ever to keep track of what's going on in the zones you can't see very well. Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop and Go is also standard, and that allows you to enjoy some time where you don't have to worry about adjusting your speed, because the car will do it for you. A wide range of other features, including Driver Attention Alert, Lane-Keep Assist, and Lane Departure Warning are also standard and extremely helpful during day-to-day driving. 2. Feature-Packed Infotainment System The Mazda CX-30 has a feature-packed infotainment system. Some of its features include wireless smartphone connectivity, Pandora internet radio integration, and Mazda Connected Services. However, it can be difficult to navigate the system while you're driving, so that's where the innovative feature comes in: voice control. Instead of having to pull over to change a setting or look up information, you can simply instruct the system verbally while you're still driving. This is very useful when you're driving on your own and don't have a passenger to help you out with navigating the system. 3. Fuel Economy Information When you look at your 7-inch LCD meter display, you'll notice that it tells you a whole lot of information about your fuel economy. Your car will let you know your current and average fuel economy. It also tells you what estimated distance you can drive before the tank empties, making it easier to gauge when you should stop for gas, particularly on longer trips. Seeing your average fuel economy on every trip is extremely helpful, as you'll notice if that average fuel economy starts to drop right away. As decreased fuel economy can point to problems with your car, having this information makes it easier than ever to stay on top of your vehicle's health and catch problems early. 4. Mazda Navigation System Some of the higher trims of the CX-30 have a navigation system built in, so you no longer have to rely on navigation and map applications on your smartphone when visiting new areas. The system has functions such as a split screen setting and a 3D gyroscope sensor that make the navigation system even better than what you'd get when consulting Google or Apple Maps. These are just a few of the impressive features you'll find on the tech-packed, comfortable new 2024 Mazda CX-30. Come to Auffenberg Mazda of O'Fallon in Shiloh, IL to check out this small SUV in person, or call 618-280-0729 to arrange a test drive today.
