What is the Mazda CX-90?
The CX-90 is Mazda’s large, three-row SUV, with space for family passengers and longer journeys. It sits among the brand’s flagship models and wears Mazda’s Kodo design, with a broad stance and clean lines.
Introduced for the 2024 model year, the CX-90 was developed with North American drivers in mind. Its three rows and spacious cabin make it a natural fit for families who need room for passengers and luggage.
Generations, engines and power
The CX-90 is in its first generation, which began in 2024 and continues today. It brought a new platform and electrified powertrains to Mazda’s large SUV range.
The engine sizes span 2.5 L to 3.3 L. The range includes a turbocharged 3.3 L inline-six with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system and a plug-in hybrid that pairs a 2.5 L petrol engine with electric drive. The inline-six gives the CX-90 a smooth, traditional engine feel, while the plug-in hybrid can use electric power for some journeys.
How economical is the Mazda CX-90?
In the United States, EPA figures cover model years 2024–2026. The best combined rating is 25 MPG. The lowest listed consumption for hybrid versions is 9.4 L/100 km; for the plug-in hybrid, the lowest official weighted figure is 9 L/100 km, assuming some driving is electric.
In Canada, NRCan figures for 2024–2026 put the lowest listed consumption at 9.3 L/100 km for hybrid versions and 9.2 L/100 km for the plug-in hybrid on the 5-cycle test. The United States uses EPA testing, while Canada uses the 5-cycle method. European figures use WLTP or NEDC procedures, so ratings from different markets are not directly equivalent. A plug-in hybrid’s weighted figure assumes electric driving; actual fuel use depends on charging and how the vehicle is driven.
