2025 Mazda CX-90: The Ultimate Three-Row Luxury Experience
February 06 2025, Woodstock Mazda
The 2025 Mazda CX-90 remains Mazda’s flagship VUS, delivering a perfect blend of luxury, performance, and practicality. Designed to rival premium competitors, this three-row model offers an available plug-in hybrid powertrain, a turbocharged inline-six engine, and an interior that feels more high-end than ever before.
Powertrain Options
Mazda offers two engine choices for the 2025 CX-90:
- A 3.3-litre turbocharged inline-six engine that produces 280 horsepower in base models and up to 340 horsepower in higher trims.
- A plug-in hybrid model (PHEV) combines a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine with an electric motor, generating 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque.
The PHEV version can travel up to 50 km on electric power alone, making it a great option for short daily commutes while still offering strong hybrid performance for longer trips. Both versions use a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission and come standard with all-wheel drive.
Luxury Interior and Space
Mazda has positioned the CX-90 as an upscale alternative to mainstream three-row SUVs. Inside, you'll find real wood accents, high-end leather upholstery, and available captain’s chairs in the second row. The large 12.3-inch infotainment screen, premium sound system, and panoramic sunroof elevate the driving experience.
The CX-90 offers seating for up to eight passengers, though buyers can opt for a six-seat configuration with captain’s chairs. Cargo capacity is also generous, with up to 2,025 litres of space when the second and third rows are folded.
Technology and Safety
Mazda’s latest driver-assistance technology suite is included, featuring:
- Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go
- Lane departure warning with lane-keeping assist
- Front and rear automatic emergency braking
- A 360-degree camera system
Connectivity features include a wireless charging pad, wireless smartphone integration, and a new voice-activated assistant.
Efficiency and Driving Experience
The CX-90 PHEV offers an estimated 4.5 Le/100 km when running on electric power, while the turbo inline-six delivers approximately 9.5 L/100 km in mixed driving. The long wheelbase and finely tuned suspension provide a smooth yet engaging ride, making this one of the most refined three-row SUVs available.
Conclusion
The 2025 Mazda CX-90 stands as Mazda’s most premium and sophisticated vehicle to date. With high-performance engine options, an upscale cabin, and cutting-edge technology, it presents a compelling alternative to luxury competitors while maintaining Mazda’s signature driving enjoyment.
