2025 Mazda CX-90 vs. Tesla Model Y: The Art of Driving, Refined
In an era where automotive innovation often prioritizes screens over sensation, the 2025 Mazda CX-90 emerges as a beacon of craftsmanship, balance, and driver-centric engineering. While the Tesla Model Y dominates headlines with its tech-forward ethos, the CX-90 answers with a symphony of tactile luxury, dynamic precision, and thoughtful innovation. At Patrick Mazda in Auburn, MA, we invite you to explore how Mazda's flagship three-row SUV redefines sophistication-without sacrificing soul.
Exterior Design: Elegance in Motion
The 2025 CX-90 embodies Mazda's Kodo design philosophy, where every curve serves purpose and emotion on the roads of Worcester, MA. A long, sculpted hood flows into a sleek roofline, accentuated by bold LED lighting and a signature wing-inspired grille. In contrast, the Tesla Model Y's minimalist silhouette prioritizes aerodynamic efficiency, resulting in a silhouette that's functional but forgettable. The CX-90's metallic trim options, available 21-inch alloy wheels, and Artisan Red Premium paint-a multi-layered hue that dances in sunlight-elevate it to rolling artistry. Details matter: frameless windows, chrome-accented pillars, and symmetrical dual exhausts underscore Mazda's commitment to beauty in motion, while the Model Y's uniformity blends into the EV crowd.
Interior: Sanctuary Meets Sensibility
Venture inside the CX-90, and the difference is immediate. Mazda's Takumi-inspired craftsmanship envelops occupants in soft Nappa leather, genuine maple wood trim, and metallic accents, all arranged to prioritize driver connection. The cockpit-style dashboard, with its intuitive 12.3-inch infotainment screen and tactile rotary controller, minimizes distractions-a stark contrast to the Model Y's sparse cabin, which forces interaction through a central tablet. Third-row passengers enjoy 30.4 inches of legroom on longer drives around Sturbridge, MA, outpacing the Model Y's cramped rear quarters, while available Captain's Chairs add long-haul comfort. Even the CX-90's acoustics are curated, with triple-layer glass and sound-deadening materials ensuring serenity the Model Y's road-noise-prone cabin can't match.
Performance and Drivability: Precision, Electrified
The CX-90's powertrain lineup caters to purists and pragmatists alike. The all-new 3.3L turbocharged inline-six engine delivers 340 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, channeled through an eight-speed automatic tuned for silken shifts. Mazda's Kinematic Posture Control subtly brakes inner wheels during cornering, enhancing agility rare in three-row SUVs. For efficiency seekers, the Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) variant pairs a 2.5L Skyactiv-G engine with a 68-mile electric range-enough for most daily commutes. While the Model Y's instant torque impresses, its numb steering and stiff ride prioritize speed over engagement. The CX-90, however, balances G-Vectoring Control and standard i-Activ AWD to create a dialogue between driver and road, rewarding with every turn.

Technology and Safety: Intuitive, Not Intrusive
Mazda's approach to tech enhances-never overshadows-the drive. The CX-90's 12.3-inch infotainment system integrates wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a 12-speaker Bose® surround sound system, and a head-up display that projects onto the windshield. Physical climate controls and a driver-centric layout ensure eyes stay on the road, unlike the Model Y's screen-dependent interface. Both models boast advanced safety suites, but Mazda's i-Activsense® adds nuance: Adaptive Cruise Control adjusts smoothly to cutoffs around Marlborough, MA, while See-Through View mitigates blind spots without overwhelming alerts. Tesla's Autopilot, though capable, can feel abrupt, prioritizing automation over driver collaboration.
