“great driving 3 row SUV, transmission is a little clunky without the torque converter, but great gas mileage and inline six engine”
2024 Mazda CX-90: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change is the CX-90 itself: 2024 marks the debut of Mazda’s entirely new three-row SUV. It launches on a new rear-wheel-drive-based foundation with standard AWD.
About the 2024 Mazda CX-90
1st generation, first model year
Mazda positioned the CX-90 as a driver-focused three-row family SUV with seating for up to eight, a carefully finished cabin, and stronger road manners than many mainstream competitors. Its long-wheelbase platform, standard AWD, inline-six and plug-in-hybrid powertrains, and upscale interior materials give it a blend of family utility, responsive handling, and near-luxury presentation without abandoning everyday cargo and passenger needs.
The lineup ranges from practical eight-seat models with a 280-hp inline-six to six-seat Turbo S versions with 340 hp and richer cabin materials. A 323-hp plug-in hybrid provides an EV driving mode, while upper trims feature Nappa leather, dual 12.3-inch displays, Bose audio, and a 360-degree camera.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
The CX-90 launches with two versions of a turbocharged 3.3-liter inline-six using 48-volt electric assistance: 280 hp or 340 hp. A 323-hp plug-in hybrid pairs a 2.5-liter engine with an electric motor and 17.8-kWh battery. Every version uses a new eight-speed automatic transmission and standard AWD.
Structural
Mazda’s new rear-wheel-drive-based Large Platform underpins the CX-90. The suspension uses a double-wishbone design in front and a multilink design at the rear.
Safety
Every trim has automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping assistance, and driver-attention monitoring. Upper trims have additional features such as front-crossing and reverse automatic braking.
Tech
Mazda’s cornering-control software is standard across the range. Depending on trim, cabin technology includes dual 12.3-inch displays, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a head-up display, Bose audio, and a 360-degree camera.

2024 Mazda CX-90
(371 reviews)
“Roomy enough to carry anything you want with the fold down seats and still have plenty of seating room.”
“driving range is too small. Can only charge to 80 percent and that gives 20 miles of drive time on battery”
