Mazda has been on an SUV product offensive as of late with all-new nameplates being introduced. They started off with the CX-30, but then introduced the CX-50 and CX-60. Today, they’ve introduced the CX-90, the largest SUV of them all. The CX-90 is built on an all-new, unnamed large platform. It also brings all-new electrified, turbocharged 6-cylinder powertrain options.

The CX-90 has seating for 8 passengers but has been designed with the driver in mind. The new large platform marries a longitudinally-mounted engine with all-wheel drive with a rear-wheel drive bias. It features Kinematic Posture Control, a software feature that suppresses body lift in tight corners. Mazda paid special attention in optimising body rigidity throughout the entire vehicle’s body.
