This car is great to drive. Our trips are usually around town (Waco). There are a couple of trips per month per month to Dallas, Austin, Kerrville. The car’s responsive sport feature kicks its acceleration up a notch. It is most useful for on-ramps and passing and is easily engaged. From about 40 to 90 it pulls solidly and does not run out of oomph as other cars do, it just goes. The ride is comfortable, smooth. It does not wallow. It feels planted at speed, and feels sure footed in turns. The interior is comfortable, and longer travels do not tire us out. The front row is spacious, shoulder, leg, and headroom is plentiful - much bigger than other midsizers. The second row is spacious. The third row is described as cramped - we use the third row occasionally - it is for grandkids not adults, and that suits us. The Bose audio is one of the better systems at this price level. After seven months of use, we still exclaim after we finish a trip: ‘That is a good car.’ We are pleased. Definitely would get another CX-90.

Elegant car, sturdy drive, and feels safe. The ride is smooth and quiet. Tons of updates with the panoramic moonroof and phev option. I have 2 cons with the vehicle: 1.) Phev should have a minimum of 50 miles or more. I had a Jeep wrangler with the same opportunity. 2.) Pano moonroof only open 9 inches, give or take Other than that I would’ve given it 10 stars out of 5!!! :)

CX-90 needed more quality control before being rel

Right from picking up my new CX-90 from the dealership the problems began. First it was a radar sensor error code which didn't allow the adaptive cruise or lane centering to work- that required 3 visits to the dealership to get fixed. Now the adaptive cruise works but is pointless as any slight turn in the road the vehicle will slam on the brakes. Transmission started jumping shortly after, no fix available. Steering wheel locks up on the highway requiring you to use force to steer the other way (2 visits to service with no fix), heated seats stopped working, and the list goes on. I ended up returning the lease early as I couldn't fathom the idea of driving it for 3.5 more years. Mazda you can do better. You make great vehicles but why wouldn't you have put more effort and quality control into the CX-90? Unfortunate because it's one of the best looking 3 row SUVs!

I test drove many 2 and 3 row SUVS and just loved the CX90. It is quick, comfortable, and very good looking. The fit and finish is stellar, lots of soft surfaces the interior has a high class feel. The infotainment system has lots of features but is not intuitive to set up. I hope with daily use it will become easier. Mazda hit a home run.

CX-90 PHEV - Good start, but Mazda omits stuff

I traded out of a 2021 CX-5 to begin tiptoeing into electrification (and a larger vehicle). The 2024 CX-90 PHEV looked really good, so I grabbed a Premium Plus about 2 months ago. The vehicle itself is quintessential Mazda. It's definitely a driver's vehicle with its rear-drive bias, taut suspension and driveability, interior and exterior attention to quality and beautiful build quality. The 30-mile electric range works well for me 95% of the time, and the ICE engine means no range anxiety. I have no patience for a forced 30-45 minute break on long trips to recharge a full EV would impose so this is a great alternative. The transition from EV to ICE is transparent once you exceed its EV-only range. One (or a few) nit(s): Mazda had the chance to make the Premium Plus PHEV its flagship, but left out some things I like: Adaptive headlights (had them in the CX-5 and loved them), auto-lowering rear-view mirrors when backing up, and iStop cancellation. None of these are show-stoppers for me, but Mazda, add them! Driving experience is wonderful, be it highway cruising, backroads carving, or ordinary-day driving. One issue I've had (but dealer is working) is an error message at the end of a long trip that told me there was a fuel malfunction, that locked me out of refilling my gas tank. This error has not recurred and my dealer is working with Mazda to investigate. I'm comfortable with first-year problems being the source. Overall, I am very happy with with my purchase. Mazda's CX-90 is a great flagship model and the PHEV is a great variant to consider!
