THREE ELECTRIFIED POWERTRAINS

Available with three new powertrain options, CX-90 3.3 Turbo, CX-90 PHEV, and CX-90 3.3 high-output Turbo, the three-row crossover SUV will be offered with ten well-equipped packages to meet various customer needs.

CX-90 higher trim models will be equipped with the e-Skyactiv G 3.3L Inline 6 high-output Turbo, which is the most powerful mass production gasoline engine developed by Mazda, producing up to 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque when using the recommended premium fuel, while achieving NRCan-estimated fuel economy ratings of 10.3 L/100km city, 8.5 L/100km highway, and 9.5 L/100km combined.

CX-90 PHEV is equipped with the e-Skyactiv PHEV powertrain, which is an electric motor mated to a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine that combined produce 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque when using the recommended premium fuel. The CX-90 PHEV is designed to operate purely on the electric motor in a variety of driving scenarios. To provide owners with flexibility and peace of mind, Mazda’s 2.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine has been adapted to work alongside the electric motor and 17.8 kWh high-capacity battery. This is helpful for longer drives or when the driver requires maximum acceleration, such as merging onto the highway.

The standard powertrain for CX-90 is the e-Skyactiv G 3.3L Turbo engine producing 280 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque with regular fuel that can achieve NRCan-estimated fuel economy ratings of 9.9 L/100km city, 8.4 L/100km highway, and 9.3 L/100km combined. The NRCan estimated energy consumption rating for the hybrid engine acheives a combined 4.2 L/100km efficiency, with an overall driving range of 789 kilometres. Both inline six engines are equipped with M-Hybrid Boost, a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, providing efficiency without compromising its remarkable performance.

All three powertrain choices are mated to Mazda’s new eight-speed automatic transmission, specifically designed for the electrified longitudinal powertrains and large platform. The electric motor is placed between the engine and transmission, creating smooth acceleration from a standstill, and allowing the motor to directly power the CX-90 at low speed.

All CX-90 models are equipped with standard features that provide drivers with Mazda’s signature driving dynamics and confidence. Kinematic Posture Control, a software feature first debuted on the MX-5 roadster that suppresses body lift on tight corners to enhance the grip and helps all occupants to maintain a natural posture, and i-Activ all-wheel drive (AWD) technology are both standard on all CX-90 models. Mi-Drive with Normal, Sport, and Off-road models is included to assist the driver in a variety of driving conditions and road surfaces.

As with all Mazda vehicles, safety is a priority for the CX-90 for both the driver and all occupants. Standard i-Activsense1 safety features include Smart Brake Support Front, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Driver Attention Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and Road Departure Prevention.
