Meticulous attention was paid to the design of the CX-90, inspired by traditional Japanese aesthetics combined with a modern appearance.

What the Critics Say
"Mazda’s reputation for delivering strong driving dynamics and better-than-expected performance should get a well-deserved boost from this next-gen CX-90, thanks in part to the application of Mazda’s proprietary Kinematic Posture Control technology, first seen on the MX-5 Miata." — Kelley Blue Book
"Mazda’s premium aspirations lead us to believe that this range-topping three-row eight-seater will offer more luxury features than its current crop of SUVs. Its styling is handsome, and the CX-90’s cabin design borrows cues from the smaller CX-50 and MX-30 SUVs." — Car and Driver
Mazda CX-90 Features
Inspiring Performance
As the first nationally-available electrified vehicle in the history of the Mazda brand in North America, the CX-90 combines athleticism with astounding efficiency in the form of two distinct powertrain choices. Up first is a precision-crafted e-Skyactiv G 3.3L Inline 6 Turbo engine that’s paired with an innovative 48-volt M-Hybrid Boost mild hybrid system for enhanced response, producing a robust 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Drivers can also opt for an available e-Skyactiv PHEV powertrain that delivers 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque along with a perfect blend of power and efficiency. Regardless of engine choice, every CX-90 comes equipped with an advanced 8-speed automatic transmission and the confidence of i-Activ all-wheel drive. Its front-engine, rear-wheel-bias, longitudinal layout helps deliver unmistakable Mazda handling and agility. Kinematic Posture Control, which first debuted on the MX-5 Miata, further enhances cornering through the use of software-controlled suspension adjustments.
Luxurious Interior
Combining authentic materials with careful attention to detail, the luxurious interior of the Mazda CX-90 offers a mix of premium comfort and everyday practicality. You’ll notice time-tested techniques such as an intricate Japanese weaving technique known as Kumihimo, carefully connecting the distinctive fabric on the dashboard with hanging stitches. Premium interior features include available captain’s chairs, tone-on-tone fabrics, Nappa leather upholstery, and authentic wood trim. Time-tested Japanese aesthetics are evident in the fine details of the interior design. For example, the cabin provides an emphasis on space through the positioning of the climate control vents and chrome trim accents. This balance of usability and world-class refinement helps the dynamic Mazda CX-90 stand out from the ordinary.
Cutting-Edge Technology
Designed to support every action of the driver, every Mazda CX-90 comes equipped with a suite of cutting-edge tech features. Subtly located in the center of the dashboard is a stunning available 12.3-inch center display that’s home to vehicle status information, weather, messaging, and more. There’s also the optional Active Driving Display that projects key information directly onto the windshield within the driver’s field of vision. Other highlights include the available 12-speaker Bose® audio system, Wireless Charging Pad, and the convenience of the MyMazda App with a complimentary 3-year trial to Mazda Connected Services. Since even the most experienced drivers can use a helping hand on occasion, the CX-90 comes standard with a collection of advanced driver-assist technologies. Examples include Smart Brake Support, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Mazda Radar Cruise Control. i-Activsense® safety features provide an extra layer of protection to help you react to the unexpected.
