2024 MAZDA CX-90 REVIEW: MAZDA'S THREE-ROW FUTURE

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Mazda CX-90 represents a significant step for Mazda, aiming for the near-luxury segment with its new chassis, rear-wheel-drive bias, and sophisticated styling. The reviewer praises the available inline-six and plug-in hybrid powertrains, the premium interior materials, and the engaging driving dynamics, particularly the double-wishbone front suspension which offers superior wheel control compared to many rivals. However, the CX-90 falls short in interior space, especially in the third row, and its cargo capacity is less competitive. The infotainment system is a major drawback, described as dated and cumbersome, a stark contrast to the otherwise upscale interior. While the driving experience is enjoyable and the chassis is commendable, the high price point for a Mazda, coupled with the outdated infotainment and less competitive interior volume, raises questions about its value proposition against established segment leaders.
