I hear there are concerns about plug-in hybrid's that don't use their engines often developing issues because those engines never get used. Does the CX-90 have any features to help with that?

Not that I’m aware of but to be honest, I doubt I’ll have that problem. 42km of EV-only range means that every so often, I’ll need the ICE. Plus, I have a heavy foot, so if I want to experience all 340 ponies, I gotta fire up the ICE.

That said, the appeal of EV-only and adaptive cruise control means I drive more calmly. Most of the time.

Just need to get a Comma 3X running on this and I’ll be set!

My PHEV just runs the engine for no reason, if it hadn't run in a long time. Also it comes on for surprising reasons, such as when the battery is fully charged and you apply the brakes.
