2025 MAZDA CX-90 3.3 TURBO S PREMIUM PLUS CX90

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Mazda CX-90, specifically the 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus model, receives a mixed but generally positive review, particularly when compared to its plug-in hybrid counterpart. The reviewer highlights the significantly improved power delivery and responsiveness of the inline-six engine, which addresses a key concern from the previous PHEV model. The interior is praised for its luxurious feel, featuring Nappa leather, Ash wood accents, and a desirable light interior color scheme. The captain's chairs in the second row and the usable third row are noted as practical features for families. However, a major drawback identified is the consistently low-height liftgate, which repeatedly causes the reviewer to bump their head, a persistent issue not resolved in the 2025 model. While the camera system and heads-up display are commended for their clarity and functionality, the lane-keep assist system is described as functional but not particularly robust, with some wandering noted. Despite these criticisms, the overall driving experience is characterized as smooth, quiet, and comfortable, with strong acceleration in normal driving ranges.
