mazda cx 90 pricing revealed premium is as premium does

The new Mazda CX-90 is coming in spring with three new powertrains, a shockingly nice interior, and the right features to make “Ze German” luxury SUVs quake in their opulent, leather-clad interiors. Mazda recently announced pricing for the vehicle, which starts in mainstream territory and extends dangerously close to the premium-brand MSRPs of the vehicles it’s chasing.

The base CX-90 3.3 Turbo Select starts at $39,595. Its turbocharged 3.3-liter inline-six and mild-hybrid system produce a combined 280 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque on premium fuel – an odd Mazda quirk that we’ve seen in many of its other turbocharged models. Five trims come with the entry-level powertrain, topping out with the $52,950 3.3 Turbo Premium Plus.

Stepping up to the plug-in hybrid powertrain brings the starting price to $47,445, and Mazda offers three trims with the PHEV configuration. The system uses a 2.5-liter four-cylinder and an electric motor with a combined output of 323 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque.

At the top end of the CX-90 lineup, the Turbo S models get a 3.3-liter turbo-six with 340 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. Pricing ranges from $51,750 to $59,950 for models with this powertrain. All CX-90s come with a new eight-speed automatic transmission.

Mazda doesn’t typically offer a ton of added-cost options, but its famous Takuminuri paint technology is available for the new SUV for a few extra bucks. Artisan Red, Rhodium White, Soul Red Crystal Metallic, and Machine Gray Metallic are available for $595, and bring insanely deep, eye-catching hues to the family hauler.

Bring back your four-year warranty, Mazda. You're the guys who claim you are playing in the luxo league.

Would prefer the I6 sans a turbo charger and sans an electric motor.
Less metal and less electrons buzzing about which can go on the fritz.
Less is more....🚗🚗🚗

SilverHawk I've always gone with bright colors. My current DD is red. I have one restoration that's in silver, the original color, but the repaint is a lot more metallic. Of course, older cars were made in a time when the multiple shades of gray were not so popular, and silver was often used on sporty vehicles. Some of today's reds (Mazda) are gorgeous.
Golden2husky Tuscadero? Wonder if the interior comes in Leather...
Lou_BC I don't like black. I wouldn't want white because that's your standard fleet colour. I lean towards colour's that are less likely to show scratches and dings. The blue on my ZR2 is nice colour but a bad colour for showing up trail rash and dust. It wasn't my 1st choice but at the time it was the only truck I could find at a price I was willing to pay.
Michael I don’t have the luxury of choosing the color of my car and even people in my life who have recently purchased relatively expensive new cars are having their choice of what local dealers have or what they’re getting in soon, shades of grey and white. If I had the choice I would have gone with color when I was younger but now would choose a silver, grey, or black. Whatever looked best on the model.
CoastieLenn That price seems a bit high for a high mileage mid-tier Accord, especially a coupe whose resale is typically lower than the stalwart sedan. I do like this generation coupe a lot though.
