2024 MAZDA CX-90 PHEV vs. Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid

Drivers looking for a combo of green car technologies and spacious interiors have a few exciting models to choose from these days. One of our favorites here at Paretti Mazda of Covington is the new 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV, and we think that this plug-in hybrid stands out when you compare it to competitors like the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid.

Performance

If you’re looking for a green SUV offering plenty of power, the 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV should catch your eye. This plug-in hybrid has a maximum output of 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. If you thought green cars had to be dull and weak regarding power output, this Mazda model will prove you wrong.

The 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander is weaker unless you pay extra for a more potent available engine. The hybrid model’s base engine only has 245 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque.

Utility

Both of these SUVs are available with all-wheel drive, but i-ACTIV® AWD is standard on the 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV. If you choose the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid, you must pay extra for this added capability.

The Mazda SUV also offers multiple driving modes, including a setting for towing. Both of these green SUVs can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped.

All-Electric Driving

The 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander is a regular hybrid, but the 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV is a plug-in hybrid. This means the Mazda SUV can drive up to 26 miles without using gasoline, per EPA estimates. The Toyota model can’t match that performance.
