“The car has been great so far, I like it. The PHEV features are excellent and I can charge at home, but the public charging availability is not well developed yet. It is well designed and quieter than I expected. The apple car play and wireless phone charging features are very good. I like the adaptive cruise control and crash avoidance features.”
2025 Mazda CX-90: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2025 Mazda CX-90 is that the former 3.3 Turbo Premium and plug-in hybrid Premium trims become Premium Sport models with darker styling and revised packaging. This is a light trim-and-tech update, not a redesign.
About the 2025 Mazda CX-90
1st generation (2024-present), second model year on Mazda's large three-row platform; no redesign, just package and tech updates.
Mazda positions the CX-90 as its most upscale three-row family SUV, built for buyers who want more style and a more engaging drive than many mainstream rivals. The formula is standard AWD, electrified powertrains, strong safety tech, and a cabin that leans more premium than typical family crossovers. Inline-six models focus on smooth power and towing confidence, while the plug-in hybrid adds short electric driving without giving up three-row usefulness.
For 2025, the CX-90 lineup covers everyday inline-six family duty, stronger Turbo S performance, and plug-in hybrid driving for shorter electric trips. The Turbo S models use a 340-hp inline-six, while the plug-in hybrid makes 323 hp and has an EV driving mode. Upper trims bring features such as Nappa leather, second-row captain's chairs, a 360-degree camera, Bose audio, and a head-up display.

Frequently asked questions
Is the 2025 Mazda CX-90 a redesign?
No. The 2025 Mazda CX-90 remains part of the first generation introduced for 2024. Its changes focus on trim packaging, styling, cabin technology, parking sensors, and seating layouts rather than a new body or platform.
What is the biggest difference between the 2025 and 2024 Mazda CX-90?
The biggest difference is the Premium Sport treatment. The former 3.3 Turbo Premium and plug-in hybrid Premium continue under the Premium Sport name with dark exterior details and revised equipment and seating packages.
Which Mazda CX-90 trims changed for 2025?
The gas 3.3 Turbo Premium and plug-in hybrid Premium are renamed Premium Sport, while the 3.3 Turbo Preferred Plus and base 3.3 Turbo S are dropped. The 3.3 Turbo S Premium becomes the entry point to the stronger Turbo S range and gains broader seven- or eight-passenger seating flexibility.
What technology does the 2025 CX-90 Preferred gain?
The 2025 3.3 Turbo Preferred gains a 12.3-inch center display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless phone charging, front and rear parking sensors, and six USB-C ports. The plug-in hybrid Preferred also receives the larger display, wireless phone features, and parking sensors.
Is the 2025 Mazda CX-90 worth choosing over the 2024 model?
The 2025 CX-90 is the more appealing choice for shoppers who want the Premium Sport look, broader seating arrangements, or upgraded phone and display technology on the Preferred and plug-in hybrid trims. Shoppers who do not need those updates will find the basic vehicle largely unchanged from 2024.
2025 Mazda CX-90 Reviews
What owners are saying about the 2025 Mazda CX-90.
4.4
2025 Mazda CX-90
(14 reviews)
“The CX-90 PHEV is an excellent overall vehicle The only issues I have is that the center console is so wide it limits front passenger knee room. The seat belt alarm starts dinging immediately when you turn the car on without giving you a moment to put the belt on, and the locks when the car is in drive so you have to use the rotary knob to operate all the navigation and audio controls.”
“The vehicle is high tech, with a series of technical innovations that provide comfort, safety, performance, and an overall enjoyable ride.”
