Mazda CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid vs Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid

Both of these cars plug in and both seat three rows, so the rows below are about capability rather than electrification: the CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid tows more when properly equipped than the Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid and makes the higher total system horsepower figure. Electric-only range is not a row here, and that is deliberate — this car does not lead the Mitsubishi on it. Each row below names its source and the model year that source describes.

Every row above names its source and the model year that source describes; verification of a comparison is the dealer’s responsibility. Competitor figures are that manufacturer’s own published specifications for the model year shown. Rows the CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid does not lead are recorded in our research and are not published here, and no price row appears at all — competitor MSRPs are published excluding destination while Mazda’s include it, so no like-for-like price comparison exists.

The Mazda CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid in Mobile, AL

What the CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid Is Rated to Pull

The 2026 CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid is rated to tow up to 3,500 lbs when properly equipped and makes 323 hp with 369 lb-ft on premium fuel, with i-ACTIV AWD® standard on all three trims. It is EPA-rated at 27 miles of electric-only driving and 56 MPGe combined, then 26 mpg on gas alone. The two rows above are the towing and the power figures, which is a deliberately short table: three-row plug-in hybrids are a small field, and we would rather publish the two dimensions the research can stand behind than pad the comparison out to a length that looks more convincing than it is.

How to Read This Comparison

Every figure in the table above carries a source and the model year that source describes. Mazda’s guidelines put verification of a comparison on the dealer, so a row that could not be sourced to a manufacturer publication is left out rather than estimated, and a row the CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid does not lead is recorded in our research and not published here. Ask us for the documentation behind any row and we will show it to you.

CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid Comparison Questions

How much can a Mazda CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid tow?⌄

Up to 3,500 lbs when properly equipped, which is the first row of the comparison above. That is less than the gas CX-90 will pull — the plug-in powertrain’s battery is a real tradeoff, not an omission.

How many people does a Mazda CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid seat?⌄

Seven with the standard second-row bench, or six with the available captain’s chairs. Seating is not a row in the comparison above, because both cars seat the same number of people and a tie is not a difference worth publishing.
