It's unique in that it's RWD with a 3.3-liter inline 6-cylinder engine, giving it a sportier edge than most, and with up to 340 hp on tap, performance is strong in Turbo S trims. Regular Turbo trims have 280 hp, and the hybrids add electrical assistance to a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter 4-pot to make 323 hp with excellent efficiency. It rivals vehicles like the Kia Telluride, Acura MDX, and Toyota Grand Highlander.2024-2026 Mazda CX-90 Turbo S Premium Plus in Soul Red CrystalMazdaWhat's New for 2027The 2027 CX-90 is a carryover model that will not be undergoing any changes for the new model year, except for a small price increase on gas models.2025-2026 Mazda CX-90 PHEV Premium Plus in Rhodium WhiteMazdaExteriorThe CX-90 cuts quite a dashing figure, with dynamic lines and subtly flared wheel arches.

The center display measures 12.3 inches but relies on a rotary controller, not touch input.

It even sends more torque to the rear axle on acceleration, giving the car a rearward bias and reinforcing the SUV's sporty feel. The standard Mi-Drive selector offers Sport and Off-Road modes, with upper trims also gaining a Towing mode.DimensionsMeasurementSpecificationLength201.6 inWidth77.6 inHeight68.3 - 68.7 inWheelbase122.8 inGround Clearance8.0 - 8.1 inCurb Weight4,846 – 5,243 lbsInterior Space (Front and Rear)MeasurementFirst RowSecond RowThird RowHeadroom39.7 in39.3 in36.9 inLegroom41.7 in39.4 in30.4 inSeven or eight passengers can be accommodated, depending on whether the second row is a bench or two captains' chairs.
