Mazda North American Operations introduced the first 2024 Mazda CX-90 on Jan. 31. Built on Mazda's new large platform, the three-row crossover has wider, longer, and "more aggressive proportions," according to the manufacturer. With seating for up to eight passengers, the Mazda CX-90 is available with all-new electrified powertrains, including an inline 6 turbo and a plug-in hybrid, for enhanced performance and efficiency.

The CX-90 is rumored to replace the CX-9.

What's New

• An all-new large platform features a front-engine, rear-wheel-bias longitudinal layout.

• CX-90 is equipped with Kinematic Posture Control, which suppresses body lift on tight corners to enhance grip and allows occupants to maintain a natural posture.

• Rigidity is optimized across the vehicle body, with seats and suspension to provide better balance, control, and confidence in a range of driving situations. 

• An all-new e-Skyactiv G 3.3L Inline 6 Turbo engine has the highest horsepower and torque from a mass production gasoline engine developed by Mazda, with 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque when using recommended premium fuel.

• The new e-Skyactiv PHEV powertrain offers 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, when using the recommended premium fuel.

• Mazda's 2.5L four-cylinder engine, with a tuned intake to improve torque, has been adapted to work alongside the electric motor and 17.8 kWh high-capacity battery. 

• Increased cabin space and ample cargo space.

• Refined interior with available third-row USB-C charging ports, air conditioning vents, and upgraded interior lighting.
