2024 MAZDA CX-90 – FIRST LOOK!

EV Channels Review

The Mazda CX-90 represents a significant new entry for the brand, aiming for a more premium position in the three-row crossover segment. Reviewers highlight its attractive styling, both inside and out, with particular praise for the interior materials and the inclusion of physical controls for climate and infotainment. The availability of both a plug-in hybrid powertrain and a new inline-six engine with mild-hybrid technology is seen as a major differentiator, offering competitive power figures. While a full driving review is pending, initial impressions from sitting in the vehicle are positive, noting comfortable seating, ample space even in the third row, and a refined cabin ambiance. The potential for heavy steering, a past concern with Mazda models like the CX-50, remains a key point to watch in future driving evaluations, alongside the actual EV range of the PHEV.
