Mazda CX-90

The 2025 Mazda CX‑90 redefines Mazda’s flagship SUV with luxury-grade materials, advanced electrified powertrains, and intuitive technology—all wrapped in a dynamic driving experience optimized for families and enthusiasts alike. Powertrain & Performance Choose from two capable powertrains. The turbocharged 3.3‑liter inline‑6 with mild-hybrid assist delivers 280 hp in standard tune, or up to 340 hp in Turbo S trim, with up to 369 lb-ft torque. A plug‑in hybrid variant combines a 2.5‑liter engine, electric motor, and battery for a total output of 323 hp and 369 lb-ft, with an all-electric range of around 26 miles. All trims come with all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Towing capability reaches 5,000 lb for inline‑6 trims and 3,500 lb for the PHEV version. Fuel Economy The inline‑6 variants return roughly 24 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined. PHEV models achieve an EPA combined rating near 56 MPGe, with about 25 mpg when operating on gasoline only. Interior & Cabin Comfort Mazda’s signature attention to premium craftsmanship shines inside the cabin. Soft-touch surfaces, Nappa leather, and elegant stitching set the tone. The CX‑90 offers flexible seating configurations—up to eight passengers via bench seating—or six with second-row captain’s chairs. Cargo capacity expands from approximately 14.9 cubic feet behind the third row to over 74 cubic feet with all rear seats folded. Technology & Features Expect a modern digital cockpit with standard 12.3-inch central infotainment display and 12.3-inch driver screen on most trims. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are now standard across nearly the full lineup, alongside wireless charging and multiple USB-C ports in all rows. Higher trims offer Bose premium audio, ventilated seating, head-up display, and more. Handling & Ride Quality The CX‑90 offers engaging agility thanks to its multi-link rear suspension, double-wishbone front setup, and Kinematic Posture Control technology that mitigates body roll for confident cornering. While firm damping enhances sporty feel, the ride can feel stiff over coarse surfaces. Safety & Driver Assistance Top-tier safety features are standard, including adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, rear cross traffic alert, and driver attention monitoring. Available upgrades add 360-degree surround-view camera, enhanced braking systems, and premium active safety tools. New for 2025 This model year brings new Premium Sport trims for both gasoline and plug-in hybrid variants, a wider standard 12.3-inch infotainment display, improved hybrid range and system refinement, and enhanced passenger comfort options. Pros & Cons Strengths: strong engine performance, refined interior, driving dynamics that feel more hatchback than SUV. Limitations: tighter third‑row and cargo space than competitors, firmer ride on rough roads, and limited EV range in the PHEV version.
