The all-new 2024 Mazda CX-90 is the first Mazda you’ll ever have been able to buy with electrified powertrains. The CX-90 may be a relatively new direction for the brand as a first foray into the world of hybrid powertrain technology. Still, it retains and builds on solid foundations underpinning all current Mazda models. The CX-90 is a three-row midsize crossover SUV with three electrified powertrain options and seating for up to eight people.
As you might expect from a vehicle offering three powertrain options, there are plenty of different versions of the 2024 Mazda CX-90 for shoppers to choose between. The lineup starts with five models featuring the 3.3-litre inline-six turbo engine in its non-high-output version. They are the GS, GS-L, GS-L Captain’s Chairs, GS-L Enhanced Package, and the GT. If you prefer the high-output version of the mild-hybrid powertrain, the CX-90 is available in GT-P and Signature models.
Last but certainly not least, the all-new Mazda CX-90 in its PHEV guise is available in three trim levels. The most affordable is the PHEV GS, the mid-range option is the PHEV GS-L, and the top trim level is the PHEV GT. Every CX-90 has a rear-biased all-wheel-drive system and an all-new eight-speed automatic transmission.
There’s plenty to like about the all-new 2024 Mazda CX-90, but it would be remiss to start anywhere other than Mazda’s first-ever electrified powertrains. Three units are available for the CX-90; two mild hybrids and a full-blown plug-in hybrid option. The standard powertrain is the e-Skyactiv G 3.3-litre turbocharged inline-six that develops 280 horsepower and 332 lb.-ft. of torque. When you run it on regular fuel, the NRCan-estimated fuel economy ratings are 9.9 L/100km in the city, 8.4 L/100km on the highway, and 9.3 L/100km combined. Like the engine above it in the range, the standard engine comes equipped with M-Hybrid Boost, a 48-volt mild-hybrid system that delivers a great combination of efficiency and performance.
Higher trim levels get a high-output version of the 3.3-litre inline-six turbo, which is Mazda’s most powerful mass-production gasoline engine ever, with 340 horsepower and 369 lb.-ft. of torque available when using the recommended premium fuel. The NRCan-estimated fuel economy ratings for this one are 10.3 L/100km in the city, 8.5 L/100km on the highway, and 9.5 L/100km combined. The last of the trio is the plug-in hybrid (PHEV), which pairs a 2.5-litre four-cylinder gas engine with an electric motor and 17.8 kWh high-capacity battery. This powertrain produces 323 horsepower and 369 lb.-ft. of torque and can operate purely on the electric motor under certain circumstances.
It feels wrong to call the GS-L version of the 2023 Mazda CX-50 a base model because its standard specification is extremely impressive. Standard equipment includes AWD, 17-inch alloys, LED headlights, keyless entry, four USB ports, a 10.25-inch display infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, Radar Cruise Control with Stop and Go, a power liftgate, a power-sliding panoramic moonroof, and automatic dual-zone climate control.
The GT version of the CX-50 gets seriously luxurious with upscale features that include genuine leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, navigation, a 12-speaker Bose sound system, wireless phone charging, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, Traffic Plus, and Travel Link services, a driver’s memory seat and more.
The 2024 Mazda CX-90 is a stunning all-new addition to the midsize three-row SUV segment that will have more expensive luxury models looking nervously over their shoulders.
