About the Mazda CX-90
Last updated Dec 18, 2024Mazda's all-new CX-90 flagship SUV is big, bold, and gunning for the premium players. Fully optioned, you're looking at over $100,000.
The 2024 Mazda CX-90 will start arriving in local showrooms from August this year, with pre-orders now open for the brand’s biggest, most luxurious model.
Powered exclusively by 48V electrified inline-six engines at launch, the CX-90 will not only compete with the likes of the Hyundai Palisade and Nissan Pathfinder, but also entry-level versions of the Audi Q7 and Volvo XC90.
As with the smaller Mazda CX-60, which rides on the same rear-drive platform, the CX-90 will be offered in Australia with three trim levels. The inline sixes (one petrol, one diesel) are the only options available at launch, though a 2.5-litre plug-in hybrid is expected to be offered sometime next year.

How does the 2024 Mazda CX-90 drive?
Our expert take on Mazda CX-90 drivability.
At launch, the Mazda CX-90 will be available with a pair of 3.3-litre inline six powertrains with 48V M Hybrid technology – one petrol, one diesel.
G50e versions feature a 3.3-litre turbocharged inline six petrol mild-hybrid, developing 254kW and 500Nm. It’s the most powerful series-production Mazda engine ever made.
Meanwhile, D50e models feature a 3.3-litre inline six turbo-diesel mild-hybrid, which develops 187kW (3750rpm) and 550Nm (1500-2400rpm).
The M Hybrid Boost system comprises a 48V mild-hybrid system that “supports the engine at lower speeds while delivering enhanced environmental performance by using regenerative braking to replenish the onboard battery”.
Unlike some other mild-hybrid systems, Mazda hasn’t confirmed exact outputs the M Hybrid Boost function contributes when supporting the engine.
While not available from launch, the brand is expected to add a 240kW/500Nm 2.5-litre plug-in hybrid drivetrain shared with the smaller CX-60 with 50-60km of EV driving range.
