2024 Mazda CX-90 Comes into Clearer View before Next Week’s Debut

The CX-90 is a big deal because it’s the first new Mazda model in the U.S. to use the company’s longitudinal platform.

The CX-90’s front end appears similar to the CX-60 that’s already on sale in Europe, with a squareish grille and chrome detailing.

Mazda recently released specs for the turbocharged inline-six engine that will power the CX-90. It’s a 3.3-liter engine with 340 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and it uses a 48-volt hybrid system.

Engine Specs

The headlight shape is reminiscent of other current Mazda models, and the red color seen here is a new hue called Artisan Red.

The CX-90 will have three rows of seats, and it’ll be followed by a smaller CX-70 on the same platform that will be a two-row offering.

As Mazda’s first plug-in hybrid, we expect the CX-90’s gas-electric powertrain option to use a 2.5-liter inline-four gasoline engine and an electric motor and battery pack that could give it an electric driving range of around 35 miles.

Plug-In Hybrid Info

The CX-90 will debut January 31, and Mazda says it will go on sale in spring 2023.

We think the CX-90 will eventually replace the existing CX-9, but the two three-row SUVs will likely be sold alongside each other for a little while.
