The 2024 Mazda CX-90 is the best-driving mainstream family SUV.
Car companies are in the business of making money. And if there were money to be made building such delightful things as the Mazdaspeed6, Protégé5, and RX-7, Mazda would still be building them. But SUVs are where the money is, so here is the new made-in-Japan and built-for-America 2024 Mazda CX-90.Mazda North AmericaWith a big turbocharged straight-six under its long schnoz, three rows of seats under its long roof, and standard all-wheel drive inside its long 122.
There’s an eight speed transmission under that shifter. And that sweet wood. And that leather. And that material.A clutch also has packaging advantages. “A straight six is long,” explains Powertrain Performance Manager Jay Chen, stating the obvious. “So, a straight-six and a torque converter and whatever transmission behind it is going to take up a lot of space.

Not based on any existing product, the CX-90’s structure is a straightforward unibody. The front suspension is double wishbones with the tail atop a multilink independent system. Nothing exotic, but effective. The ride is solid, but always comfortable. It feels like the rear-drive machine that it is. More BMW X5 than Lexus RX.Missing from the CX-90 is an air suspension.
There’s a nice trilling exhaust note, too. Or at least it seems there is one. Mazda does pump in some exhaust notes through the sound system. Is that understandable? Sure. Even excusable. But it’s also kind of disappointing in a vehicle that delivers so much analog sweetness.
