We’re proud to share big news at The Autobarn Mazda of Evanston: the 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV has just been named a winner in U.S. News & World Report’s inaugural Best Adventure Vehicles Awards. It’s recognition we already expected for a vehicle built to explore. Learn what this award means and why the Mazda CX-90 PHEV earned it.

Top Honors in Two Adventure Categories

The 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV earned top honors in two categories: Best Midsize Plug-In Hybrid SUV for Road Trips and Best Midsize Plug-In Hybrid SUV for Camping. U.S. News & World Report evaluated this inaugural program on interior space, versatility, comfort, and overall quality, and the Mazda CX-90 PHEV stood out for balancing comfort with real capability. That balance makes this SUV a natural fit for any next adventure.

Why the 2026 MAZDA CX-90 PHEV Earns the Recognition

Under the hood, the e-SKYACTIV®-PHEV powertrain of the 2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV pairs a gas engine with an electric motor for a combined 323 horsepower, giving you confidence for long highway stretches or a loaded trailer. Standard i-Activ AWD® and up to 26 miles* of all-electric range let you handle daily errands on electric power alone, then rely on hybrid power for longer trips. A 3,500-lb towing capacity rounds out a package built for road trips and camping alike.
