Can Mazda’s new three-row SUV compete with the Kia Telluride and Honda Pilot?
, the new CX-90 is now rear-wheel drive based. Mazda says it made the move from the CX-9's front-drive platform to its new global rear-drive architecture in large part because it improves its driving dynamics and interior space.It also allows Mazda to offer two modern powertrains for its flagship vehicle. CX-90 Turbo models will sport Mazda's brand new hybridized 3.3-liter turbocharged I-6.
On the powertrain front, Mazda reps described the choice between the Turbo S and PHEV models as choosing between delayed and instant gratification. That analogy generally holds up. The new I-6 is the type of engine that's going to make the discerning enthusiast swoon. Thanks to the torque fill provided by the motor, which reaches its 113 lb-ft peak at just 200 rpm, there's no real lag to speak of from the turbocharged engine by the time it hits peak torque at 2,000 rpm.
Despite that, the CX-90 PHEV ought to appeal to both enthusiasts who love low-end torque as well as consumers who worry about little more than"get up and go." The torquey electric motor makes this version of the CX-90 feel quicker than the I-6 version, while depressing the gas pedal past the kickdown point results in a"Boost" message on the instrument cluster and a surge of power as the throaty four-cylinder screams and the motor's power surges.
