2025 Mazda CX-90 Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Impressive and Way Overpriced
I wanted to test drive the least expensive version of this vehicle that came with a power tailgate and ventilated front seats. That would be the turbo premium plus and it drove beautifully and had a nice interior. It also retailed for over $53,000. The Kia Telluride with these features was just over $40K and was bigger. The Kia Sportage Hybrid was $40K.

Maybe 4.5 stars
The one thing I really find annoying in this car is the gear shift. For some reason, known only to a Japanese engineer or designer, they decided to make park be all the way up and over to the left. It's real easy to forget that over to the left but when automatic gear shifts have been designed the same, logical, perfect way for decades. No idea why car manufacturers seem to feel the the need to change something that worked great, forever to knobs, labyrinths, or this abomination.

Nice but does not compete with Premium brands
I read a few reviews stating that the CX-90 competes with premium brands and it does not. The ride quality is good but the acceleration is lacking compared to the GLC300 and the X3. I would imagine the CX-90 competes more with the X5 in size but I would not even remotely consider the CX-90 to be in the same class as the X5. The power and delivery of the B58 straight six is unrivaled in this class. The CX-90 electronics are lacking with no touch screen or wireless Android Auto or CarPlay. The shifter layout is funky and I can see new users stepping out with the vehicle in reverse. I had a sketchy incident with the car in EV mode. I was making a u-turn on snow and the touched the accelerator and the car almost spun out. It seemed to apply too much power even though I barely touched the throttle. It was fine when the engine was running. Aside from that, the CX-90 was very competent in the snow. My experience was in a week long Turo rental in the Rockies. I own a 23' X3 and drove a 23' GLC300 as well as a 23' X5 so the CX-90 misses the mark when compared to any of those vehicles. The only advantage the CX-90 has is that it can be purchased as a Hybrid. It is not a bad vehicle but I would not compare it with MB or BMW.
