2025 Mazda CX-90 Consumer Reviews

Great car if you know what to expect
I’ve had this car for about 2000 miles. We’ve really enjoyed it and I did my research going in so I didn’t have many surprises. It’s a great car for folks that have a <30 mile commute and charge daily. We get >75 mpg factoring in longer trips on the weekend. I have been averaging >30 miles per charge (2 - 2.5 miles/kWh). It also has a high quality interior with plenty of space for families. The only drawback with this car is the performance - the 320+ hp they quote is not accurate. This car has 2 separate engines - an electric motor and inline 4 and it’s relatively hard to get them to work together (you either need to floor it or put the car into sport mode). It also significantly reduces the fuel economy and I’ve found it’s best to stick to EV mode if you can and adjust your expectations for acceleration. Again, I knew this going in and having an underpowered 3 row suv is a trade off I’m willing to take for the fuel economy, PHEV flexibility, build quality, and reliability. It’s also a good value at the price point I was able to get (just over $40k new with incentives) relative to other PHEV SUVs.

Very Dependable and Sexy SUV
I love Mazda and it hasn’t failed me. It did once but it was a manufacturing defect. The dealer quickly resolved my issue. Mazda is my family car and I trust it with my family.

Mazda CX-90 is the way to go!!! Volvo? BMW?
Artisan Red Turbo S. Premium Plus!!! Sports DNA in a 3 row SUV. move over BMW, this one here has better handling, and look great while doing it. Luxury appointments are second to none. this one does not have a lot of compartment space, but it does have a large glove box and good space for your things. where is lacks in space, surely makes for it in driving mechanics and pure luxuriousness. This vehicle is not meant to compete with Kia twins or Pilot or GH for that matter. This one is RWD/AWD with Miata DNA. simply test driving this, does not uncover what you will love about this car. This car feels like a much, much, more expensive car. The interior will wow you; the driving mechanics will wow you. CX90 is an all around winner

Not a very good car
Rented a cx90 with 1800 miles on it out of SRQ Airport. Exchanged it after a week for a Ford SUV. The Mazda was anemically powered with a touchy accelerator that didn't make the car go when you applied light pressure. If you gave it more gas , it felt like it was jumping forward. The ride was comfortable but did not instill confidence that it handled well. Very difficult to gauge distance from the front of the vehicle to an obstacle. Needs a bit of slope on the front hood. It started beeping at the driver from four feet away. The center console control system was a joke. Not intuitive at all. Had it a week and never figured out how to easily change the FM stations or how to create a station preference list. The navigation screen did not show all the street names and I could not figure out how to adjust screen size to make them appear. Not very useful when traveling in an unfamiliar place.

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.
