Know Your Mazda SUVs – CX-9 vs. CX-90

In the realm of family SUVs the Mazda CX-9 has reigned supreme for years. It offered exceptional comfort, versatility, and driving dynamics for families on the go, but needs change and Mazda is always updating its vehicles. To offer a larger and more luxurious option in the 3-row SUV space Mazda has released the CX-90. This new family SUV pushes the boundaries of what to expect in a large SUV and elevates the Mazda SUV options. This comprehensive guide, courtesy of Modern Mazda, dives into the intricacies of the CX-9 vs. CX-90 debate, allowing you to make an informed decision for your next SUV.

Size and Design: A Tale of Two Mazdas

• CX-9: The CX-9 radiates a sleek and sophisticated presence. Its flowing lines and sculpted curves create a dynamic profile that looks great on suburban streets as well as scenic highways. Inside, the CX-9 prioritizes a driver-centric cockpit with high-quality materials and a focus on ergonomics, ensuring a comfortable and engaging driving experience for all.

• CX-90: The CX-90 takes the Mazda SUV design language to a new level. This all-new SUV boasts a bolder and more imposing stance, accentuated by a wider wheelbase and a longer hood. Despite its larger size, the CX-90 maintains a sense of athleticism with its flowing lines and sculpted features. The interior echoes this theme, offering a luxurious and spacious cabin with premium materials and a focus on passenger comfort.

Power and Performance: Unpacking the Engine Options

• Engine Choices: Both SUVs offer a SKYACTIV®-G inline-6-cylinder engine as standard. This engine offers ample power in both SUVs, even with a fully loaded vehicle. The CX-90 also offers a hybrid engine option, which offers improved fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance. If you would like to learn more about the difference between the hybrid and gas-only CX-90 you can read more here or contact the dealership.

• Transmission: Both the CX-9 and CX-90 come equipped with a smooth-shifting automatic transmission. However, the CX-9 utilizes a traditional 6-speed automatic, while the CX-90 boasts a more advanced 8-speed automatic transmission. This new transmission promises smoother gear changes and better fuel economy.

Seating Capacity and Cargo Space: Accommodating Your Crew

• Seating: Both the CX-9 and CX-90 offer seating for up to seven passengers across three rows. However, the CX-90’s larger size translates to more spacious accommodations for all passengers, particularly in the third row. Passenger comfort was a focus in the CX-90’s design and adults will find the CX-90’s third-row seating more comfortable for longer journeys.

• Cargo Capacity: Despite the CX-90’s larger size, the CX-9 offers slightly more cargo space behind the rear seats with all seats upright. This is due to the focus on passenger comfort in the CX-90. However, with the second and third rows folded, the CX-90 boasts significantly more cargo capacity, making it ideal for families with a lot of gear or those who frequently embark on road trips.

Technology and Entertainment: Staying Connected on the Go

Both the CX-9 and CX-90 come equipped with a Mazda Connect infotainment system, featuring a user-friendly interface accessible through a central touchscreen display. Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ smartphone integration comes standard, allowing seamless connectivity for navigation, music streaming, and phone calls. Higher trim levels on both models offer additional features like a Bose® premium sound system, head-up display, and a panoramic sunroof. It’s important to note that specific features may vary by trim level, so be sure to explore the options available at Modern Mazda.

Safety First: Unwavering Commitment to Passenger Protection

Both the CX-9 and CX-90 prioritize occupant safety with a suite of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) as standard. These include:

• Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert

• Smart Brake Support with Collision Detection

• Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist

• Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop and Go Functionality

Higher trim levels on both models offer additional safety features like a Driver Attention Alert system and a 360° surround-view camera system. No matter which Mazda SUV you choose, you can be confident that your family will be well-protected on every journey.

Exploring the CX-90’s Trim Levels:

The CX-90 introduces a fresh perspective on trim offerings. Currently, it boasts three distinct trims: the CX-90 3.3 Turbo Select, CX-90 3.3 Turbo Preferred, and CX-90 3.3 Turbo Premium Plus. Even the base Select trim offers a comprehensive list of features, including the standard turbocharged inline-6 engine, the new 8-speed automatic transmission, and the suite of advanced driver-assistance systems. Higher trims progressively add luxuries like a panoramic sunroof, a head-up display, premium Nappa leather seating, and a Bose® surround sound system.

The Electrifying Future: Unveiling the CX-90 Hybrid

Mazda is committed to providing energy-saving options and has released a CX-90 hybrid engine option in addition to the standard turbocharged inline-6 engine. The CX-90 Hybrid combines the existing 3.3-liter inline-6 engine with an electric motor, creating a powerful yet fuel-efficient driving experience. This hybrid system offers increased horsepower and torque compared to the standard engine, all while achieving impressive fuel economy figures. Imagine tackling errands and commutes in near-silent electric mode, with the gasoline engine seamlessly kicking in for highway cruising or towing needs. The CX-90 Hybrid also benefits from Mazda’s innovative regenerative braking system, capturing energy during deceleration to recharge the battery and further enhance efficiency.
