Chronology
PredecessorMazda CX-9

The Mazda CX-90 is a full-size crossover SUV with three-row seating produced by Mazda, introduced in 2023.[5][6] A two-row version, marketed separately as the Mazda CX-70, was introduced in 2024, featuring the same dimensions and engine options with minor styling variations.[7] It is the largest SUV produced by the company and is built on the Large Product Group platform, which features a longitudinal engine and rear-biased all-wheel-drive system shared with the smaller CX-60.

The CX-90 replaced the CX-9 in North America, and like its predecessor, it is not marketed in Japan or Europe, despite being manufactured in Japan.[3][8][9] Engine options include turbocharged, mild hybrid, inline-six engines (gasoline or diesel) and a plug-in hybrid gasoline inline-four. All powertrains are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission that uses a wet clutch in place of a conventional torque converter.[10]

Overview

[edit]

The CX-90 was revealed on 31 January 2023, for the North American market, while a release in the Australian and Middle Eastern markets occurred later during 2023.[8][11] The CX-90 is available with a choice of six, seven, or eight-passenger seat configurations. The CX-70, the two-row variant with five seats, was revealed on 30 January 2024 in North America. The CX-70 differs from the CX-90 by its front and rear bumper designs, black exterior accents replacing chrome, unique wheel designs, and differing interior color scheme options.[12]

With the use of the rear-wheel-drive-biased large vehicle platform, the CX-90 and CX-70 are placed into the brand's internal "Large Product Group" category. According to Mazda, the CX-90 addresses many of the weaknesses of the CX-9 such as its small interior space.[13]

The CX-90 and CX-70 are 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.[14]

The CX-9 was discontinued in North America, replaced by the CX-90 and CX-70.[9] Like its predecessor, the CX-90 will not be sold in Japan (despite being built there) or Europe.

Powertrain

[edit]

Available with mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid options, the CX-90 and CX-70 were Mazda's first production models to feature hybrid powertrains in North America.[30]

The mild-hybrid range consists of two 3.3-liter turbocharged inline-six engines, both using the M Hybrid Boost system. The H3T "e-Skyactiv G" with a high-pressure turbocharger on S trims produces 340 horsepower (254 kW) and 369 pound-feet (500 N⋅m) with premium unleaded fuel, or 319 hp (238 kW) on regular. Non-S trims use a standard-pressure turbocharger, rated at 280 hp (209 kW) and 332 lb⋅ft (450 N⋅m).[20][31] An Australian-market diesel, the T3-VPTH "e-Skyactiv D", is rated at 251 hp (187 kW) and 406 lbf⋅ft (550 N⋅m).[32] All engines are paired with the MR integrated starter-generator and a 0.33 kWh battery, which contributes an additional 16.6 hp (12 kW) and 113 lb⋅ft (153 N⋅m).[20]

The plug-in hybrid e-Skyactiv PHEV combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder PY-VPH with an electric motor and 17.8 kWh battery, for a total output of 323 hp (241 kW) and 369 lbf⋅ft (500 N⋅m) on premium, or 319 hp (238 kW) on regular.[33]

All versions use Mazda's "i-Activ AWD" rear-biased all-wheel drive system and the eight-speed 8EC-AT "Skyactiv-Drive" automatic transmission, which replaces a conventional torque converter with a single wet clutch to increase front passenger footwell space.
