I bought cx90 preferred plus in last july 2023. Unfortunately I damaged underneath by hitting with something under while driving.which hit on hybrid battery and it’s damaged.my insurance covered this repair cost. But problem is they dont have any Hybrid battery.my SUV sitting on the dealers parking lot since October 2023.even though they dont know when its will be available. I m very disappointed about it. My question if u don’t have parts/battery available. Why you sell its to customer. Accident can be happen to anyone anytime. I look forward to someone from mazda customer care, who can help me out to fix my SUV and get the hybrid battery asap. I am very unhappy with Mazda purchased.

After owning my CX-90 Preferred Plus for several weeks and driving it extensively, I can now provide some insights. I traded in a 2020 Honda Passport with similar horsepower but different torque. Here are some observations: Quirks: The main adjustment for me has been to the hybrid system and how it starts the car. It's not necessarily bothersome, but it's different and requires some getting used to. The initial moment of getting going can feel a bit jittery. The charging pad is a bit sensitive, requiring precision in placing your phone. There's not an abundance of storage space for personal items. Likes: The driving dynamics of the CX-90 are truly impressive. The responsiveness of steering, braking, and acceleration is excellent. The interior is well-designed with thoughtful touches, even in my lower trim model. The car is notably more responsive than the Honda Passport with similar horsepower, thanks to the torque factor. Ride quality is comfortable, and the seats are accommodating, even for someone of my stature (6'1"). The interior is quiet, and there are ample outlets for convenience. The three-row seats are usable, which meets my needs as I don't frequently have passengers in the back. Bottom Line: If you prioritize driving dynamics over utility, the CX-90 could be a compelling option. However, if you require more loading space, there may be better alternatives. Overall, the CX-90 has impressed me with its performance, and I appreciate its unique features despite some initial quirks.

(MUST READ) Great car but bit outdated

To be honest, I believe this mid-size SUV is the most aesthetically pleasing option on the market. I purchased this vehicle on September 30th and have been driving it for about ten days, covering approximately 400 miles. I hope my feedback proves useful for those in search of a mid-size SUV. I've test drove, Pathfinder, Pilot, Telluride, and Palisade before purchasing this car. My budget was $50,000 including tax, and all documentation fees. Before I've bought this car, after I haved tested cars based on my budget. Handling: 5 Stars The handling of this SUV is exceptional, and I consider it the best in its class. I haven't come across any mid-size SUVs with better handling than the CX-90. Acceleration & Driving: 4 Stars At low speeds, this car's mild-hybrid system can sometimes feel a bit unnatural when shifting gears automatically. Given that this is Mazda's first foray into mild hybrid technology, I can understand the initial quirks. I'm confident that they will make improvements in tuning for the 2025 model to rectify this issue. On the flip side, when it comes to accelerating to higher speeds, it excels and stands as the best in its category. Interior: 4 Stars The interior design is absolutely stunning. However, its practicality leaves something to be desired. When using Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, placing your smartphone or key fob in the center console can be a bit inconvenient. This also means you can't use the cup holders for your beverages while driving. In comparison, the Kia Telluride offers more convenient solutions for storing your phone and keys. Infotainment: 2 Stars I understand that higher trim levels have a touch screen, but it's exclusively for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. The infotainment system in this Mazda is subpar when compared to Japanese or Korean brands. Technology: 3 Stars Korean brands clearly lead the way when it comes to driving and interior technology, offering features like ventilated seats, heated steering wheels, lane-keeping assist, highway assist, and more. Mazda seems to be somewhat stuck in the past. Having owned a Hyundai Tucson, I can attest that Korean cars are far more comfortable and stress-free for long-distance drives compared to Mazda. Summary: 4 Stars Despite pointing out some drawbacks of the Mazda in comparison to other brands, I want to emphasize that driving this car is a pure pleasure. The handling and acceleration are top-notch, and when you sit in the driver's seat, you feel truly connected to the vehicle. It's hard to describe, but Japanese and Korean cars often feel like they have a small core with a large shell on top, which can feel unnatural when compared to Mazda. I appreciate how confident and stable the Mazda makes me feel while driving. However, there's no denying that Mazda needs to step up its game in terms of convenience options and technology to compete with other Asian brands.

Not worth the $$$ - DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE!

At 7500 miles I am currently sitting in the dealership waiting on an oil change, and have the following complaints: 2 days ago while driving about 60mph the vehicle began jerking and hesitating and continued to do this from acceleration to faster speeds throughout the day. 2 days prior to that, it was making a loud squealing noise while driving in stop and go traffic for about 3 miles. The brakes are squealing and have been for the last 1,000 miles. There’s the sound of an air leak in the passenger side door that can be heard loudly while driving. The drivers seat is uncomfortable. The car makes a loud beeping noise when backing up which I personally do not like and there’s no way to turn off. I owned a 2021 Ford Explorer prior to purchasing this vehicle and can say this Mazda CX-90 does not even compare considering it’s in the same price range and size as the Explorer. I would highly recommend reconsidering before purchasing this vehicle. I have plans to trade this vehicle very soon to go back to a Ford Explorer. Also, the guy in the service department (Charleston, SC) was very nonchalant regarding my complaints. I will be sure everything is documented before I leave in case the problems escalate further before I’m able to trade it in.

Fantastic SUV

We have really enjoyed our CX-90 S Premium. Beautiful design inside and out. Handling is superb (feels like driving a smaller car) and acceleration is impressive, especially at higher speeds. Infotainment is a little clunky when not using CarPlay. Safety features are nice and have saved me from a couple crashes. It’s been through a few recalls, but otherwise no major issues. Overall very pleased!
