The Mazda CX-90 is optimized for families and individuals who need flexibility, with seating for up to 8. The new large platform allows CXḋ90 to have a performance-focused appearance, while also elevating the interior comfort for all occupants.

• A shorter front overhang, longer rear overhang, and 7.4” longer wheelbase than Mazda CX-9 creates a much more dynamic look.
• Improved driver seating position with an emphasis on minimizing blind spots and maximizing driver comfort.
• Increased leg clearance, center console storage, third-row width, and overhead height.

CX-90 was designed from the ground-up as a performance flagship model, competing in the premium three-row mid-size crossover segment and representing the future of Mazda. It incorporates many all-new technologies and is tailored to the North American audience.

At launch, CX-90 will have three powertrain options with up to 11 different packages to offer customers the opportunity to find the vehicle that best fits their lifestyle.
