The CX-90 is an exciting new three-row SUV that is being introduced for the 2023 model year. The CX-90 will be supplanting the Mazda CX-9, and it will elevate the offering with luxury features, more stylish design, and a more sophisticated profile overall. With the CX-90, Mazda continues to signal its intentions to become a premium brand, offering much more than its budget competitors without the hefty luxury price tag. 

Here’s a closer look at what we can expect with the new Mazda CX-90: 

Power and Performance 

No hard details have been released about the 2023 Mazda CX-90, so what we know is conjecture based on patterns that industry insiders have identified. The CX-90 is expected to have a plug-in hybrid powertrain, which will get somewhere between 25 and 35 miles of electric-only range. The other engine option is also expected to be a new turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 engine, which would also be backed by a hybrid engine. 

The engines are expected to be paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and rear-wheel drive will be standard. All reports indicate that the new CX-90 will offer a smooth ride, with exceptional fuel efficiency.

Exterior and Interior Styling

Photos of the new CX-90 have all been covered in camouflage wrap up to this point. However, we still get a pretty good idea of what kind of styling to expect in the new SUV. The CX-90 has the distinctive Mazda profile with swooping lines, an aerodynamic design, and thoughtful details like a rear spoiler or uniquely shaped rear windows. 

We haven’t seen any photos of the interior yet, but we know that Mazda is planning to upgrade the profile on this new SUV, so we’re expecting a lot of high-quality materials and conscientious design choices throughout the cabin. We also expect all three rows to offer plenty of leg room and for the seating to be ergonomic for maximum comfort. 

Safety Features

Mazda outfits its vehicles with many of the best safety features on the market, including forward-collision warning, adaptive cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, and more. With the upward trajectory that the CX-90 is set to take, we expect to see a full suite of these features, plus a few extras. More adaptive safety features are expected, as are features that you normally wouldn’t find except on higher trim levels.
