Mazda’s new midsize three-row SUV is pricey compared to rivals like the Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade, but it’s within the same price range as the new Toyota Grand Highlander. As for its performance specs, it has a powerful turbocharged V6 base engine that produces an exciting amount of power. On the other hand, its efficiency is average for its size.

The CX-90 is a sporty midsize SUV that brings Mazda’s distinct refinement and performance to a new niche segment. Kia’s Telluride nameplate arguably ignited the midsize three-row space when it first hit the scene just a few years ago. Since then, the niche segment has been on fire, with the Telluride winning several awards over the years.

Though Toyota and Mazda may never admit it, the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander and 2024 Mazda CX-90 are clearly answers to the Telluride and Hyundai Palisade to grab up some of that massive market share the two models have been dominating. The new CX-90 nameplate has plenty of appeal, but should the average consumer consider one? Does the new SUV provide enough value for the money, or is it too pricey and inefficient to be practical as a daily driver?

The CX-90 is the family SUV we didn’t know we needed

There are plenty of capable family SUVs on the market courtesy of American brands like Jeep. Sporty family SUVs, on the other hand, aren’t necessarily as common. Sporty three-row models are even more rare.

Instead of taking cues from other brands, Mazda’s CX-90 design language remains true to the company’s ethos, choosing opulence and driving verve over practicality and efficiency. The CX-90 is, in many ways, the antithesis of the Grand Highlander.

If you’re a consumer who values driving dynamics, style, and a classy interior in a family SUV/daily driver, the CX-90 is worth consideration. The odds of it outselling the Grand Highlander or Telluride aren’t in Mazda’s favor, but the new option is a win for consumers searching for variety within the niche segment.
