What is it?
The CX-90 is Mazda's largest and most expensive vehicle ever sold in Australia, sitting at the top of the Large Platform family. Rear-biased AWD with a longitudinally mounted inline-six, plus a 2.5L PHEV option.
The lineup runs from G50e Touring at $74,550 plus on-roads, through to P50e Takumi at $102,940 plus on-roads. Warranty cover sits at 5 years, unlimited km.
Interior and Technology
Inline-six longitudinal layout, rear-biased AWD, PHEV option with around 60 km of EV range, and a cabin that pushes toward Audi Q7 territory.
2,500 kg braked tow trails the body-on-frame norm, and the ride is firmer than rivals especially on 21-inch alloys.
