New Engines: Power and Frugality in the Spotlight

You’re wondering what is the sportiest Mazda? The Japanese manufacturer gives you a new possible answer thanks to the CX-90, which now offers the most power out of every vehicle in the lineup.

A brand-new 3.3-liter turbocharged 6-cylinder engine is supplemented by hybrid components. On the GT-P and Signature trims, it produces up to 340 hp and a torque of 369 lb-ft! The lower trims still offer 280 hp of power.

Even with this impressive performance, it displays a fuel consumption of only 8.4 or 8.5 L/100 km on the highway, depending on the version.

If you wish to cut down even more on your consumption, a new plug-in hybrid model is also available. The Mazda CX-90 PHEV is equipped with a 4-cylinder 2.5-litre engine and a 17.8-kWh lithium-ion battery, a combination that develops 323 hp and a torque of 369 lb-ft! It provides an all-electric range of 42 km.

With an 8-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive, it offers great driveability, as expected of a Mazda. Gabriel Gélinas, journalist for The Car Guide, remarks:

“Whichever powertrain is selected, the Mazda CX-90 proves highly dynamic on the road with excellent handling and remarkable poise in corners.”

The journalist also notes that the CX-90 is an SUV on par with renowned German luxury vehicles.

A Unique Cabin

The exterior design shares many traits with the rest of the lineup, bearing dynamic and elegant curves. It’s particularly the Mazda CX-90’s interior that puts it a cut above the rest, particularly its rivals.

Indeed, we’re looking at a unique design, inspired by Japanese aesthetics, and built with quality materials, creating a very high-end interior. On the superior trims, maple wood trimmings and Kakenui stitching add an additional level of luxury.

Not only does it succeed on the aesthetic side of things, but the cabin also holds many available features, such as:

Heated seats on the first two rows
Ventilated front seats
Nappa leather seat trimming

The manufacturer also offers an even more generous space than with the CX-9. You can equip this SUV with 7 or 8 seats depending on the chosen configuration, so that you may easily travel with your whole family.

A 537-litre trunk easily combines with the interior space to fit all your material. By lowering the third row of seats, you’ll get a cargo capacity of 1,343 L.

Cutting-Edge Technologies

On board, you’ll benefit from an upgraded interface. Depending on the trim, you’ll be able to navigate with the assistance of a screen measuring 10.25 or 12.3 inches. Among the many versions, the 2024 Mazda CX-90 also offers:

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wireless connectivity
An active driving screen and head-up display projected on the windshield
A Sirius XM trial and the Traffic Plus and Travel Link services
A 360-degree screen
And even more features!

The available windshield projection has also been enlarged when compared to its previous iterations so that the information is easier to read.

Of course, you’ll also benefit from a complete set of standard driver assistance features in the form of i-Activsense. These features will help you avoid accidents and assist you in driving calmly by aiding in the completion of your maneuvers.

Mazda CX-90’s Prices and Trims

The Mazda CX-90 is available in two versions depending on the engine: a mild-hybrid model and a plug-in hybrid. This last one is available in three trims, the GS, GS-L and GT.

For the SUV equipped with the 6-cylinder, it adds two trims at the top of the lineup: the GT-P and Signature. Here’s, in summary, the Mazda CX-90’s prices as well as its technical sheet:
