The 2024 Mazda CX-90 is undeniably luxurious and outperforms just about everything else in its class with its sharp handling and quick acceleration. Though third-row space and cargo capacity are a bit lacking, the CX-90 is otherwise a highly recommended pick for a three-row SUV.Read full review

What's new

All-new midsize three-row SUV, replacing the CX-9
Kicks off the first CX-90 generation for 2024

Overview

When the Mazda CX-9 was last redesigned in 2016, it became one of our favorite three-row midsize SUVs. As the years went on, however, its lack of interior and cargo room became more of a liability as fresher and roomier rivals such as the Kia Telluride and Volkswagen Atlas debuted. But now Mazda is back once again vying for a top spot with the all-new 2024 CX-90.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Mazda CX-90 3.3 Turbo Select 4dr SUV AWD (3.3L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $2.91 per gallon for regular unleaded in Georgia.}

The CX-90 is similar in size to the CX-9 it replaces as Mazda's flagship, though its wheelbase (the distance between front and rear wheels) grows by 7.5 inches, benefitting passenger and cargo space. The CX-9 was notable for delivering a more luxurious interior than its contemporaries, and the CX-90 builds on that refinement by delivering an experience that rivals entry-level luxury SUVs. Acceleration is strong and smooth thanks to a turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine. All-wheel drive is standard, and Mazda even offers a plug-in hybrid version that delivers an estimated 26 miles of all-electric range on a single charge.

Overall, we're impressed with the CX-90 and think it's a desirable choice for a three-row SUV. Besides the Telluride and Atlas, other alternatives include Honda Pilot, Hyundai Palisade and Toyota Highlander. Check out our test team's Expert Rating below to get our full report on where the CX-90 shines and where it comes up a little short.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

8.5/10

How does the CX-90 drive? Performance isn't generally a priority for the midsize three-row SUV buyer, but the CX-90 proves to be quicker, better-handling and more stable than pretty much anything else in the class. We tested the CX-90 with the top-line 340-hp engine. At our test track, the CX-90 accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in a very respectable 6.5 seconds and displayed excellent midrange- and high-rpm punch after that. Squirting through traffic and highway merging is a breeze.

We're also fans of the CX-90's eight-speed automatic transmission, which shifts quickly and unobtrusively. But we found the engine stop-start feature to be a bit more noticeable than we'd like. It can engage, shutting the gasoline engine off during cruising for better fuel economy, but can be a bit slow to start the engine back up.

As you'd expect from a Mazda, handling is something the CX-90 does better than most others in its class. The steering is nicely weighted, and the CX-90 feels planted and secure around corners. The brakes are also worth mentioning. Emergency stopping performance is impressive, but in routine driving we found the brake pedal to be a bit too touchy, which makes it hard to consistently stop smoothly.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the CX-90? The CX-90 has an impressively composed ride quality. Our test vehicle's 21-inch wheel and tire package did feel a bit stiff over broken city streets, but in general the CX-90 smooths out bumps pretty well. At highway speeds, the CX-90 has excellent composure and is unfazed by dips or undulating surfaces. Another area where the CX-90 shines is its quiet interior. Road and wind noise is well subdued, and the engine is smooth and quiet until you really step on the gas.

We're big fans (no pun intended) of the CX-90's push-button climate control system. It's essentially set-and-forget, and not having to dive into a menu screen to make quick adjustments is very much appreciated. While the front seats offer excellent long-haul comfort, the second-row captain's chairs (other configurations are available) felt merely average. The third row is much more spacious than the one in the previous CX-9 but lacks the comfort provided by the back rows in the Kia Telluride and Volkswagen Atlas.

Interior

8/10

How’s the interior? The CX-90 manages to strike a successful balance between style and functionality. There's a pleasing number of physical buttons for major functions, and each one is clearly labeled and easy to press with only a glance. The driving position feels personal, but the rest of the interior, and its controls, are open to the other front passenger. Visibility is generally good, but drivers will need to adjust to the longer hood of the CX-90 in relation to other SUVs in the class.

The CX-90 offers seating configurations for six to eight passengers across a variety of trim levels. However, it lags behind the class leaders with regard to passenger space for second- and third-row passengers. That's not to say it's uncomfortable but the Hyundai Palisade and Volkswagen Atlas feel more spacious in back than the Mazda.

Build & Price

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? Adding to the sleek look and feel of the CX-90's interior is a low-profile center screen and, on higher trims, a crisp-looking digital instrument panel display. The Bose audio system (also available on higher trim levels) provides enough power to easily fill the CX-90's cabin. But we're less fond of the center infotainment screen. The graphics look a little dated, and touchscreen functionality is oddly limited to when you're using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto smartphone integration. For the native interface, you have to use the system's rotary control knob to access menus and functions.

Advanced driver aids are plentiful, and all CX-90s come standard with adaptive cruise, lane keeping assistance, blind-spot warning and other systems. It's a competitive collection for the class, and we found the adaptive cruise to be more responsive and consistent than a few other competitors' systems.

Storage

7.5/10

How’s the storage? The CX-90 trails many of the other SUVs in the class in its cargo space. Specifications vary based on the CX-90's seating layout, but even at its best, there's only a max of 15.9 cubic feet behind the third row of seats, 40.1 cubes behind the second and 75.2 cubes when all seats are dropped. Those numbers are lower than those from the Kia Telluride, Hyundai Palisade, Volkswagen Atlas and Honda Pilot — not always by a lot, but many buyers are drawn to this segment for the practicality.

Inside, the CX-90's style does limit the amount of usable storage space available for front passengers. There's enough room for most odds and ends, but vehicles like the Telluride and Honda Pilot offer more storage options.

Got small children? You'll like that the CX-90's rear doors open wide and make it fairly easy to install bulky child safety seats. If you plan on towing with the CX-90, the available towing package is definitely worth the extra money. It bumps the tow rating from 3,500 to 5,000 pounds, putting it at the more capable end of the segment.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

8.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates that the CX-90 gets 25 mpg combined in city/highway driving for both the base engine and the upgraded 3.3 Turbo S. That's a few mpg better than what most other three-row SUVs get. On our standardized mixed-driving evaluation route, our CX-90 returned 25.7 mpg, indicating that the EPA's estimate should be achievable in real-world driving. One minor observation from our test vehicle: The fuel economy meter was always optimistic by at least 2 mpg compared to actual fuel economy.

Value

8/10

Is the CX-90 a good value? Sporting one of the most stylish interiors of any midsize three-row SUV, you could argue the CX-90 is almost too nice for daily family duties. Nearly every inch of the CX-90 looks and feels upscale, and you wouldn't be wrong to compare it to luxury brands such as Acura, Infiniti and Lincoln. But the CX-90's style comes at a cost. Our top-tier Turbo S Premium Plus rang in at nearly $62K, far more than any top-of-the-line Kia Telluride, Honda Pilot or Volkswagen Atlas. The CX-90 will start at just under $40K with a less powerful version of our test vehicle's engine.

Warranties are fairly standard but don't hold a candle to those offered by Hyundai and Kia. Roadside assistance is offered for three years/36,000 miles, but free maintenance is not offered.

Wildcard

8.5/10

Just when you think the midsize three-row SUV segment is pretty well sorted, the CX-90 shows up. Longer, more spacious and more powerful than the outgoing CX-9, the CX-90 brings Mazda's luxury and design aesthetic into a class that has mostly catered to families with small kids. With our top-level Turbo S Premium Plus test vehicle, it was almost too nice to put to use doing daily family duties.

As polished as the CX-90 may be, it does lack the practicality and spaciousness of the Hyundai Palisade and Honda Pilot and it can cost thousands of dollars more if fully optioned. But there's a specialness to the CX-90 that its main competitors are missing. In fact, the CX-90 wouldn't be out of place if it was cross-shopped against the Acura MDX, Infiniti QX60 or Lincoln Aviator.

Which CX-90 does Edmunds recommend?

For most people, we recommend the CX-90 with the more powerful 3.3 Turbo S model. You get plenty of technology, safety and convenience upgrades for the money, and it adequately showcases the luxurious side of the CX-90. If you have a short commute, one of the PHEV models could make sense and possibly make up for its price premium in a few years.

CX-90 competes with prestige brands? You betcha!

2024 Mazda CX-90 3.3 Turbo S Premium 4dr SUV AWD (3.3L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)

Purchased the Turbo S Premium model -- 340 HP. I read dozens of professional reviews before test driving locally and buying.

There are a ton of pros about this car. It literally checked all the boxes that I didn’t even know I had until driving it. I have just over 6,000 miles on it after owning the Turbo S Premium Plus model for 6 months. I’ll try to keep this short and sweet.

My wife's 17 year old RX 400h has been remarkably reliable, but needed replacement. We cross shopped multiple brands, including the Kia that Edmunds rated a bit higher than the CX 90.

Mazda CX-90 vs. Kia Telluride

The Telluride has been a class leader since it debuted back in 2020 and it doesn't look as though it will relinquish that crown anytime soon. It represents a better value than the CX-90 by offering more features for the money and Kia backs it with a generous warranty. The CX-90 is perhaps the most luxurious SUV in the class, but the Telluride isn't far off.

Mazda CX-90 vs. Volkswagen Atlas

The CX-90 and VW Atlas both offer a pleasing mix of comfort and easy-to-use controls. The CX-90 has a power advantage and it's more fuel-efficient and nicer inside the cabin. Going with the VW, though, gets you more cargo room and more spacious third-row seating. It's also less expensive.

Mazda CX-90 vs. Honda Pilot

The recently redesigned Honda Pilot makes waves with its TrailSport model that adds legitimate off-road capabilities, yet it keeps its position as a sensible choice for growing families. The Pilot benefits from several clever storage and usability solutions, including a removable second-row center seat that's unique in the class. The CX-90 distinguishes itself by being more fun to drive and luxurious inside.
