Mazda ditched the downsize trend and introduced the CX-90 in the spring of 2023 for the 2024 model-year, and installed a completely new range of drivetrains for its biggest SUV.
The Japanese brand's engineers burned the midnight oil to develop a new platform and a new range of engines for the CX-90. In addition, the new SUV was built to compete with premium vehicles, not with the likes of Honda or Hyundai. The result was a large, three-row family vehicle.
With an unmistakable Mazda design, the CX-90 featured a front fascia that was adorned with a set of daytime running lights that connected the headlights with the main grille. In addition, the LED DRLs from inside the headlamps were C-shaped to provide a unique look for the massive vehicle. On the front fenders, the carmaker added a set of fake vents that were adorned with either “Inline six” or “PHEV” lettering, depending on the engine version. Also, the stretched platform and the long cabin created an imposing look for the CX-90.
Inside, the carmaker threw everything it got in terms of comfort and luxury items. The dashboard looked special with the fabric that covered it. At the front, the two bucket seats were separated by a wide center console that housed the gear selector and a pair of cup holders. In addition, Mazda placed the controls for the infotainment unit. Besides the digital instrument panel and the LCD that sat atop the center stack, the automaker also offered a large head-up display.
Even if most automakers started to provide vehicles with small, inline-four engines, Mazda introduced the CX-90 with either a 3.3-liter inline-six powerplant, or a 2.5-liter inine four that was helped by an electric motor.
