2025 Mazda CX-90 Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Nice 3 row SUV by Mazda
We have the Turbo S Premium Plus model and love it. The vehicle feels like it is high quality, not cheap materials like other manufacturers. Panel gaps are near perfect. Engine is smooth, powerful and efficient. It will run on regular but I can feel the difference using premium. Ride is quiet and comfortable.

Biggest surprise of my car life
I am a car guy. After years of owning most high line brands, this time I decided not to pay the ultra premium price, but to get a near premium product. One of my previous favorite brands was Lexus, which similarly overdelivered vs BMW, Volvo, Jaguar, etc. Other than the CX90, my semi finalist was a three row Lexus TX hybrid (a version of Toyota Grand Highlander). At almost $80K, it had some disappointing aspects, particularly interior quality and handling. Plus ho hum styling. My CX90 aced those details, was better on fit and finish, and cost $25K less! And drives like a German performance SUV. If the CX90 reliability is up to par, this car may be, dollar for dollar, one of the smartest car decisions I’ve ever made.

Mazda beats expectations
The steering is excellent with minimal fighting needed for highway or curvy road driving. Excellent pick up, handles 6 people with no problems, excellent storage space and a quiet ride. Mazda is 50% owned by Toyota but more performance for less money than the comparable Toyota or Lexus models. Very happy with our choice.

From Ascent to CX-90 a smart switch
Went shopping for a Subaru Ascent or a Honda pilot or a Toyota Grand Highlander and never thought about a Mazda. By chance we looked at the CX-90 and fell in love. This vehicle is luxurious and fun to drive and loaded with options that make it comfortable for a night out or long trip to our great national parks.

The best car I've ever owned
In July, we bought a CX 90 with the straight six and, in the six months we’ve owned it, it has been nothing but a delight. A couple of niggles though. I turned off the lane kept assistance and warnings—they were overly sensisitive and would beep WAY too much. Fortunately they can be turned off and they don’t reset every time you restart the vehicle. Next, around town, I started to use the sport function which bumps up the throttle response and takes care off acceleration lag. Ok, now to the good stuff. The seats are VERY comfortable. The Bose stereo sounds teriffic and the car handles better than any SUV we owned. It feels planted and stable on the road and the brakes are well modulated and stop impressively. The materials, fit and finish are all excellent, save for the rear interior hatch cover which doesn't click down—it just sort of rests on top of the compartment. Not a deal breaker but it does feel a little weird—especially since the rest of the vehicle is so well put together and thought out. Following are my ratings on a scale of 10: Engine: 10/10, Transmission 10/10, Audio System: 10/10, NVH: 10/10, Workmanship: 10/10, MPG: 7.5/10, Quietness: 10/10, Handling (for an Suv) 10/10. Prior to this vehicle, we owned three Honda Pilots and prior to that we owned two Pathfinders.
