2025 MAZDA CX-90 PHEV vs. 2025 Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid

While both are plug-in hybrid electric vehicles for larger families, the 2025 Mazda CX-90 PHEV remains the superior choice over the 2025 Kia Sorento Plug-in Hybrid for some significant reasons, such as its quicker charging times and more upscale interior. Bay Ridge Mazda compares these eco-friendly SUVs to show why the Mazda model comes out on top.

Charging Times

As PHEVs, both the Mazda CX-90 PHEV and Kia Sorento Plug-in Hybrid require drivers to charge them from time to time. The Kia model needs 3.5 hours to reach a full charge using a 240-volt household outlet, or 10.5 hours to do the same when plugged into a 120-volt outlet. By contrast, the Mazda PHEV can go from a 20 percent charge up to 80 percent capacity in as little as 1.5 hours with a Level 2 charger.

Passenger Space

New Mazda SUVs are widely celebrated for their accommodating cabins. If you have a large family, you’ll prefer the Mazda PHEV because it has seats for up to eight passengers, while the Kia PHEV only has six seats. The Mazda SUV also has one of the roomiest first and third rows in its class, with 41.7 inches of front-row legroom and 30.4 inches in the last row. Travelers will feel comparatively cramped in the Kia PHEV with its 41.4 and 29.6 inches of front- and third-row legroom.

Comfort and Convenience Features

The 2025 Mazda CX-90 PHEV also features more comfort and convenience features than its competitor. Beginning with its base trim, the Mazda CX-90 PHEV has second-row sunshades, a 12.3-inch digital gauge display, and a sunroof. An eight-speaker sound system is standard as well.

The Kia PHEV is eligible for an optional sunroof that’s part of the Panoramic Sunroof package, but it will noticeably drive up the cost of the SUV. You’ll need to bypass the Kia SUV’s base model in favor of its top-of-the-line trim for the vehicle to have a digital gauge cluster, sunshades, and a stereo that has more speakers than the standard offering in the Mazda model.
