This advanced 800V architecture supports ultra-fast charging, allowing the GV90 to recharge from 10 to 80 percent in about 20 minutes when connected to a 350-kW DC fast charger.<\/p>\n<p>All-wheel drive will likely come standard, with an electric motor on each axle delivering a combined output of nearly 500 horsepower (368 kW) in base models, with higher figures expected in flagship trims. The GV90 is expected to use a 99.8-kWh battery pack, offering an estimated range of over 300 miles per charge. Larger battery options may also be available, pushing that range even further.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2025\/02\/2026-mazda-cx-5-hybrid-everything-we-know\/\">Everything We Know About Mazda\u2019s Next-Gen CX-5 Hybrid<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and vehicle-to-load (V2L) technology will enable the premium SUV to be a backup power source for homes and electronic devices.
