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....🚗🚗🚗

ToolGuy This thing here is interesting.For example, I can select "Historical" and "EV stock" and "Cars" and "USA" and see how many BEVs and PHEVs were on U.S. roads from 2010 to 2023."EV stock share" is also interesting. Or perhaps you prefer "EV sales share".If you are in the U.S., whatever you do, do not select "World" in the 'Region' dropdown. It might blow your small insular mind. 😉
ToolGuy This podcast was pretty interesting. I listened to it this morning, and now I am commenting. Listened to the podcast, now commenting on the podcast. See how this works? LOL.
VoGhost If you want this to succeed, enlarge the battery and make the vehicle in Spartanburg so you buyers get the $7,500 discount.
Jeff Look at the the 65 and 66 Pontiacs some of the most beautiful and well made Pontiacs. 66 Olds Toronado and 67 Cadillac Eldorado were beautiful as well. Mercury had some really nice looking cars during the 60s as well. The 69 thru 72 Grand Prix were nice along with the first generation of Monte Carlo 70 thru 72. Midsize GM cars were nice as well.The 69s were still good but the cheapening started in 68. Even the 70s GMs were good but fit and finish took a dive especially the interiors with more plastics and more shared interiors.
Proud2BUnion I typically recommend that no matter what make or model you purchase used, just assure that is HAS a prior salvage/rebuilt title. Best "Bang for your buck"!
