Mazda has unveiled the first-ever CX-90, the company's new flagship SUV in America.

Following the CX-60 released last year, the CX-90 is the second model in Mazda's Large Product Group.

Powering the CX-90 is an all-new e-Skyactiv G 3.3-litre six-cylinder turbo petrol engine which has the highest horsepower and torque from a mass production petrol engine developed by Mazda, with 340 hp and 500 Nm of torque. Paired with the engine is a 48-volt mild hybrid system.

There will also be a plug-in hybrid version comprising a 2.5-liter in-line four-cylinder gasoline engine. Also standard is the i-Activ all-wheel drive system.

All CX-90 powertrains are paired with an all-new eight-speed automatic transmission, specifically designed for the electrified longitudinal powertrains and large platform vehicles. 

The multi-speed automatic gearbox, without a torque converter, achieves smooth and direct acceleration while improving drivetrain efficiency.

The CX-90 is also equipped with Kinematic Posture Control which first debuted on the MX-5 Miata, a software feature that suppresses body lift on tight corners to enhance the grip and allows all occupants to maintain a natural posture.

Inside, the CX-90 includes many new, advanced technologies and amenities that elevate the driving experience, while also providing premium comfort and convenience for all occupants. This includes available third-row USB-C charging ports, air conditioning vents, and upgraded interior lighting, among many more features.
