Predecessor | Mazda CX-9 |
The Mazda CX-90 is a mid-size/full-size crossover SUV[1] with three-row seating produced by the Japanese automaker Mazda.[4][5] It is the second vehicle to use Mazda's rear- and all-wheel drive with longitudinal engine layout categorized as Large Product Group after the CX-60.[4] The largest Mazda SUV to date, the CX-90 will replace the CX-9 in North America.[6]
Overview
The CX-90 was revealed in January 31, 2023 for the North American market, while a release in the Australian and Middle Eastern markets were also confirmed for 2023.[6][7] The CX-90 will have a choice of six or seven seat configurations. With the use of the rear-wheel-drive-biased large vehicle platform, it is placed into the brand's internal "Large Product Group" category. According to Jeff Guyton, President and CEO of Mazda North American Operations, the CX-90 addresses many of the weaknesses of the CX-9 such as its small interior space.[8]
The CX-90 is also equipped with the Kinematic Posture Control technology, a feature originally developed for the 2022 MX-5 Miata and also present in the similar CX-60. The software suppresses the vehicle's body lift during cornering to improve stability and traction, helping occupants maintain a natural posture.[4]
The CX-9 will be discontinued in North America, replaced by the CX-90 or CX-70.[9] Like the CX-9, the CX-90 will not be sold in Japan, despite being built in the country.

Powertrain
Available with mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrain options, the CX-90 became Mazda’s first production model to offer a hybrid powertrain in the North American market.[15] There are two market dependent, mild hybrid engine options. The first is a 3.3-liter turbocharged inline-six gasoline engine marketed as the e-Skyactiv G powertrain with the M-Hybrid Boost system with two outputs producing 280–340 hp (284–345 PS; 209–254 kW) and 332–369 lb⋅ft (450–500 N⋅m; 45.9–51.0 kg⋅m) of torque when powered with premium fuel (93 AKI octane). The second is an Australian only option of a 3.3-liter turbocharged inline-six diesel engine marketed as the e-Skyactiv D powertrain with the M-Hybrid Boost system producing 251 hp (254 PS; 187 kW) and 406 lb⋅ft (550 N⋅m; 56.1 kg⋅m) of torque.[16]
The plug-in hybrid powertrain marketed as the e-Skyactiv PHEV uses a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine with a tuned air intake and an electric motor powered by a 17.8 kWh battery, producing combined power figures of 323 hp (327 PS; 241 kW) and 369 lb⋅ft (500 N⋅m; 51.0 kg⋅m) of torque when powered by premium fuel. All-wheel-drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission are standard for all models.[17]
