Have any of you tested the CX-90 PHEV’s fuel economy in colder weather? I wonder if electric range drops significantly when it’s chilly outside.

Good point! I had a bit of range loss when temperatures dipped below 30°F, about 10-15%. Definitely something to keep in mind if you live in a colder climate.
For those of you worried about charging costs, I found that my home electricity rates barely increased. Charging overnight is super cost-effective, especially compared to gasoline prices!
I agree! I calculated it out, and I save a decent amount monthly with PHEV compared to my previous vehicle. But I’m curious about charging at public stations—what are your experiences?

Charging at public stations can be hit or miss. Sometimes I find them busy or out of service, which can be a pain during road trips.
It’s a bit of a gamble, but many public chargers are free! Just make sure to check the app beforehand to avoid any surprises.
Totally! I once drove to a charging station only to find it was out of order. Always good to plan ahead!
With all this talk about charging, does anyone else get a little anxious about range anxiety on longer trips? I’ve heard it’s common among PHEV drivers.
I’ve felt that! But I’ve learned to use apps to plan routes with charging stations. It helps ease my worries!

I agree, but I’ve heard some complaints about the dashboard layout being a bit cluttered. Has anyone else experienced that?
I didn’t find it cluttered, but it does take a bit of getting used to. Once familiar, everything feels intuitive and accessible.

In terms of comfort, I think they nailed it. The cabin feels spacious, and even tall passengers have enough headroom. How’s the ride quality during longer trips?

Sounds great! How’s the connectivity? I’m really interested in how well the Bluetooth works.
The Bluetooth connectivity has been flawless for me. Quick pairing and no dropouts during calls. It’s one of the best I’ve used!
But really, do you think the CX-90 PHEV is worth the price tag given its features? Some friends wonder if it’s just another overpriced SUV.
