Overview
The Mazda CX-90, which replaced the CX-9 last year, marks a significant upscale shift for Mazda’s mid-size three-row SUV. This model showcases premium-brand ambitions with a new architecture and inline-six-cylinder powertrains, echoing the design ethos of luxury brands like BMW and Land Rover. The CX-90 offers a turbocharged 3.3-liter engine producing either 280 or 340 horsepower, along with a plug-in hybrid variant providing an estimated 26 miles of all-electric range. Its increased wheelbase enhances passenger and cargo space, building on the CX-9’s legacy of a luxurious interior to rival entry-level luxury SUVs. Standard all-wheel drive, strong acceleration, and refined handling. For those who don’t need three rows, the similar CX-70 offers the same design without the third-row seats. The 2025 Mazda CX-90 is a compelling option among competitors like the Kia Telluride, Volkswagen Atlas, Honda Pilot, Hyundai Palisade, and Toyota Highlander.
