Overview

The Mazda CX-90 is an all-new three-row SUV for the 2024 model year. With the launch of this new model, Mazda is clearly targeting the luxury three-row SUV segment, where capable rivals exist. The 2024 Mazda CX-9 replaces the older CX-9, becoming the flagship product of Mazda's extensive portfolio in the United States. The CX-9 fell short of interior and cargo space, but its elegant interior and handling were some of its USPs. It competed against the likes of the Kia Telluride and Volkswagen Atlas.

The Mazda CX-90 price starts at $39,595 and, for that price, the Mazda CX-90 interior and handling are something to applaud for sure. However, the Mazda CX-90's pricing is a bit steep for some of its higher trims. The 2024 Mazda CX-90 specs are desirable, and with the availability of the Mazda CX-90 PHEV, the needs of efficiency-conscious buyers are taken care of. Surely, this three-row SUV is among the top eight Mazda cars to buy in 2024. Check out the video by Doug DeMuro to dive deeper into the CX-90.

Buying Advice

Out of the many 2024 Mazda CX-90 configurations, we find the S trim should be your pick. Yes, it is way more expensive than the base Select trim, $12,155, to be precise. However, for that extra money, you get a more spirited driving experience with 340 hp, a 12-speaker Bose CenterPoint Surround Sound system, a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, power-adjustable and heated front seats, 21-inch wheels, and a panoramic sunroof, to name a few.

Comparative Analysis against Competition

The all-new Mazda CX-90 2024 model is here and is based on a modern platform. Being the successor of the CX-9, the CX-90 carries forward its legacy with elegant interior design, nimble handling, and sleek exterior design. The 2024 Mazda CX-90 is among the few 2024 cars that are available to configure and buy. The 2023 CX-9 received an overall score of 81/100 in the J.D. Power Consumer Rating, but the all-new CX-90 is yet to be rated. We expect a better rating owing to the various upgrades that come with the new-generation build.

The 2024 CX-90 is offered in several different trim configurations, like Select, Preferred, Preferred Plus, Premium, S, Premium Plus, S Premium, and S Premium Plus. Honestly, it might be a bit confusing for buyers to select among multiple trims, but it also helps to decide one based on budget. The cost of the CX-90 trims is $39,595, $43,445, $45,900, $48,900, $51,750, $52,950, $56,450, and $59,950, respectively. An additional destination fee of $1,375 is levied across every trim.

The 2024 Mazda CX-90 Select can be financed at a low APR of 2.90% for a term of 60 months with monthly payments of $663 and $3,999 as a down payment. The same model can also be leased for a term of 36 months at $469 per month. The annual mileage limit is 10,000 miles, and $4,468 will be due at signing. However, the final schemes will vary as per the customer profile and credit score.

Under the hood of the all-new CX-90 is a 3.3-liter turbocharged inline-six engine with a 48-volt hybrid system producing 280 horsepower. The same powertrain is tuned separately to produce 340 hp in S trims. Every trim gets an 8-speed automatic transmission and AWD as standard. The spirited CX-90 S trim can sprint from 0 to 60 in a matter of 6.3 seconds, which is pretty decent.

The 2024 Mazda CX-9 towing capacity is 5,000 pounds. The EPA-estimated mpg ratings for the non-S trims are 24 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined. The S trims are rated for 23 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined. The 2024 CX-90 plug-in hybrid trim gets a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and an electric motor under its hood with 323 hp. Stay tuned for a complete review.
