Mazda’s available e-SKYACTIV®-G 3.3L Inline 6 Turbocharged engine is tuned for smooth, confident power that complements the CX-90’s long-wheelbase stability. 3.3 Turbo models produce robust output, and Turbo S variants elevate performance even further when using premium fuel.

Every CX-90 includes i-ACTIV AWD® as standard, helping you maintain confident control across changing surfaces. Unlike systems that wait to react, i-ACTIV AWD® proactively monitors vehicle dynamics in real time and continuously optimizes torque distribution. The payoff is predictable handling as weather and traction change—ideal on slushy intersections, gravel pullouts, or rain-soaked highways. This AWD system integrates seamlessly with the CX-90’s chassis tuning and Kinematic Posture Control for a connected, grounded feel around town or across long stretches of interstate. It’s confidence you sense through the steering wheel and the seat of your pants, backed by technology working behind the scenes to keep the drive smooth and steady.
The available 360° View Monitor with See-through View and Trailer Hitch View adds a new layer of clarity when navigating tight spaces, busy parking lots, and driveway maneuvers. Displayed on the center screen, this system stitches together multiple camera perspectives to create a comprehensive view around the vehicle. The See-through View helps reveal low obstacles that can otherwise be hidden by the hood line or bodywork. For weekend getaways, Trailer Hitch View proves invaluable in aligning a trailer without stress. Combined with available features like Front Cross Traffic Alert and Brake, Blind Spot Assist, and Cruising & Traffic Support within the i-Activsense® suite, the CX-90 supports confident decision-making wherever the day takes you.
Mazda Connected Services make everyday life simpler. Using the MyMazda App, you can remotely start the engine, lock and unlock the doors, and even locate your CX-90—helpful at crowded event lots or unfamiliar trailheads. In-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot capability helps passengers stay connected, while vehicle status and alerts keep you informed. Integration with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ works through the Mazda Connect™ Infotainment System, bringing familiar apps and maps into easy view. With available USB-C charging ports extending to the second and third rows, everyone can keep devices powered. This connected ecosystem reflects Mazda’s thoughtful approach: technology that fades into the background so you can focus on the drive and the people with you.
The available panoramic moonroof brightens the CX-90 cabin with natural light and open ambience. On calm evening drives, the extra sky view lends a serene feel to the second and third rows, making family rides feel more special. Paired with the cabin’s premium materials, available Bose® audio, and careful sound insulation, the moonroof enhances a space already crafted for quiet conversation and relaxed comfort. It’s all grounded in the KODO design philosophy, where sculpted surfaces convey motion at a glance—especially in expressive colors such as Rhodium White Premium, Deep Crystal Blue Mica, and Jet Black Mica. The result is an SUV that looks as striking in your driveway as it feels on your favorite back road.
