First Generation (2024-Present)
Hitting the roads just a few years ago when this article was written, this comes with some of the most modern features that you will find on a used vehicle. Coming in a staggering amount of trims, with 8 options for you to pick from, these are all powered by the 3.3L I6 engine. While this engine doesn't come with the most punch for most trims, coming with 280 horsepower, the S trim comes with a bit more, sitting at 340 horsepower, thanks to its new tune. No matter what, you will find that it comes with an EPA rated 25 MPG combined, making it a solid option for those who want to spend less time, and money at the pump.
But if you're someone who wants something a bit greener, then you can look for the hybrid models. Offering the same features, the only way this one differs is the powertrain. Powered by a 323 horsepower, 2.5L I4 that is mated with a 17.8-kWh battery pack, you can expect even better fuel economy. This also gets you 25 MPG combined, but when using electricity as well, then this number goes up to 56 MPGe, as per the EPA.
In its debut year, you will find that it comes with some nice features, such as a 10.3- or larger 12.3-inch infotainment display. These both come with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard features, making it easy to connect to your vehicle.
Moving on to the interior, most configurations will be 8-seaters, but if you're someone who wants their family to be comfortable, then you can look for the 7-seat configuration. This is because it adds captain's chairs to the middle row, ditching the bench seating.
With 2025 being its second year on the market, this year aimed at making the look of the vehicle more appealing. This was done by adding a new trim, with it being the Premium Sport. This adds black exterior accents, which are the grille, the badging, the side mirrors, the lower bumpers, and the roof rails. It also comes with 21-inch wheels with a dark finish.
If you find yourself looking at an S trim from this year, you'll find that it still comes with a 10.3-inch screen, with all other trims being offered with the 12.3-inch screen as the standard option.
Being that this is meant to be a family option, we think that safety is among the most important aspects of the CX-90, and Mazda agrees. In both 2024, and 2025, these models come with IIHS' Top Safety Pick+. This is thanks to features such as blind spot detection, and lane departure warning/prevention being standard, as well as optional rear automatic braking.
