1. Turbocharged Hybrid Powertrain

The baseline Mazda CX-90 has a powerful 3.3-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder e-SKYACTIV-G powertrain which provides 280 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. This turbocharged powertrain has an advanced direct injection fuel system to enhance the speed of fuel delivery and translates to an incredibly responsive acceleration. This model also has a mild hybrid electric motor that generates 16.6 horsepower and 113 lb-ft of torque. 

The deft and agile handling of the CX-90 is enhanced with the rear-biased i-ACTIV AWD system. This rear-biased AWD system distributes power to all four wheels for ideal traction and handling, but also diverts more torque to the rear wheels for enhanced vehicle control. This SUV also has an eight-speed automatic transmission with a manual shift mode.

2. Kinematic Posture Control

The CX-90 is equipped with a unique feature you won’t find on many SUVs on the road. Kinematic posture control is a feature that enhances braking power on the inner wheels when the SUV turns a corner. By suppressing the natural lift of the SUV on tight corners, the vehicle maintains an ideal grip on the road that allows all passengers to enjoy a natural and comfortable seating posture. Essentially, this feature helps ensure a smooth ride every time. 

3. Radar Cruise Control

Your CX-90 is equipped with radar cruise control, an advanced adaptive cruise control feature that uses cameras and radar sensors to monitor the activity on the road around you. With this information, your SUV can modulate your speed to maintain the best following distance to the car in front of you, even when traffic comes to a stop. Standard stop-and-go technology allows your cruise control to resume speed in slow-moving traffic. 

4. Hill Launch Assist 

Hill launch assist is a feature that works with your brake system when you are driving on a hilly street. If you come to a stop on a hill, such as at a traffic light, this feature works by preventing your vehicle from rolling forward or backward when you switch from the brake to the gas pedal. This feature is an excellent tool for avoiding fender benders on slopes.  Many of the mechanical features of your CX-90 are designed to enhance your driving experience by providing the best traction, stability, and braking support.
