2025 Mazda CX-90 Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Almost...
I test drove the vehicle. I needed a replacement for my 2016 Acura MDX which I purchased new but year end for a price lower than the Honda Pilot I was intending to buy (that was a new model year for the Pilot and the deal breaker for me is that there was no on/off button for the audio...you had to go through more than one step on a touch screen). The 2017 MDXs had already arrived and the styling/safety feature were new so I was able to get a ridiculously good deal on the 2016 MDX...never owning a luxury type vehicle before and never intending to ever purchase one. I was very excited to learn how much though Mazda put into the aesthetics and engineering. All the prelim videos and reviews made it look awesome. My requirements were I needed at least a 7 seater and safety features (back up sensor among others). I test drove the CX-90. I loved the look, driving feel and really was trying to convince myself that I could make this work into what I needed. Alas...this model had no back up sensor. That is only available on higher trims...and the higher trims all come with middle row captains chairs. For my needs, the 3rd row seats are really not large enough. So that functionally leaves me with a 4 passenger vehicle....which doesn't work for me especially at that price. Even though the interior storage space is really limited (I wish Mazda placed equal effort on this as they did the styling and performance)...I would have purchased the higher model with a back up sensor if it had the bench seating so I could at least get 5 people in the car. The top line model is more expense than a base Porsche Macan...which functionally has the same seating and more expensive than the base MDX...which is a spacious 7 seater. Common Mazda...I want to purchase this vehicle in the future...how about putting all the safety features on all the trims: safety is not a luxury. For now...I put my money into the Toyota Grand Highlander.

7th Mazda
We did a lot of other model test drives before pulling the trigger on the CX-90. It was the the most room, performance, luxury, and cost effective on the market. We have 3 children and it has been our favorite SUV that we have ever owned.

Solid ride. Sleek look.
Been a long Toyota/Ford owner and I am impressed by Mazda’s direction since they departed from their relationship with Ford and continued to develop their SkyActiv Technologies. The CX-90 was our first Mazda and it looks and feels great to ride in. First and second row are very spacious. Third row may be a little squishy. The PHEV option has been a gas saver during workdays and only had to fill up on road trips. One thing to note is the long engine bay which may be difficult to work on alone for those that do their own maintenance. Overall, very satisfied owner with no issues so far.

Mazda not honest about the charging range
After 2 months and 10 days owning the CX90 PHEV, I noticed that when I charge the car to 100%, the battery just have a range of 19 miles instead of 26 that initially it charged to. Took the car to the dealer (Gunther Mazda Ft. Lauderdale) and they indicated that the car will charge to anything between 16-26 miles for electric range. I understand that the range would fluctuate depending on temperature, driving pattern, load on the car, etc. but what should be a constant, is that the car should charge to 26 miles +/- 1 or 2 miles. Not that the battery just take charge for 19 miles or 16 miles. I have contacted Mazda of North America and am waiting for them to contact me to get this clarified and resolved. If the dealer is telling the truth, then Mazda has set a scam since they are advertising everywhere that the car can have an EV range of up to 26 miles, but if the battery does not charge to 26 miles, then there is no way on earth, you can get that range. Very shameful.

Not worth the $$$$$
For a $60,000+ price tag the vehicle does not add up comes to the luxury price without the luxury features drives like a tank with the EV features coming in and going out all the time it’s really hard to drive
