2024 Mazda CX-90 Premium

The 2024 CX-90 is Mazda's three-row flagship SUV, slotting above the CX-50 and CX-5 in the lineup. It competes with the Kia Telluride, Hyundai Palisade, and Toyota Grand Highlander, but with a more driver-focused character. The CX-90 handles with a poise unusual for a three-row SUV, with direct steering and a taut chassis that keeps body motion in check. The cabin is trimmed with upscale materials and offers comfortable seating for up to eight, though the third row is best for kids. Standard tech includes a 12.3-inch infotainment display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a full suite of driver assists. Plug-in hybrid capability and the highest electric-only range distinguish the Premium from the standard CX-90 trims, which use a mild-hybrid inline-six. Its 2.5L I4 plug-in hybrid makes 189 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, routed through eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive for a smooth, quiet drive that feels more like a luxury SUV than a mainstream three-row. Standard 21-inch wheels and a Bose 12-speaker audio system come with the Premium, along with a hands-free power liftgate and a panoramic moonroof.
