MAZDA CX-90 UPDATE

Mazda has announced that they will be adding another model to their CX fleet of SUVs. The Mazda CX-90 at Patrick Mazda of Auburn- Worcester, MA will be a Launch Dealership for Massachusetts. We will be scheduling test drives for Massachusetts Mazda owners interested in updating to the new model. Following the recently added 2023 Mazda CX-50, the all-new Mazda CX-90 will be the largest, most advanced Mazda to ever hit the United States market. Building off the recent releases of the CX-30 and CX-50 models in North America, the CX-90 will continue to change the game and feature a brand-new platform, three rows of seating, a more premium interior, and a new to market powertrain that is expected to feature an inline six cylinder turbocharged engine. Though the exact suite of features and trim levels are not confirmed, we do know that this will be the most technologically advanced Mazda ever. We can also confirm that the Mazda CX-90 is going to offer a plug-in hybrid powertrain, with the possibility of adding a fully electric version further down the road.

Here are some anticipated features for the all-new Mazda CX-90:

• MSRP for the CX-90 projected to start around $47,000, although it is plausible that MSRP could start around $50,000 as well
• Standard 3.3 L inline turbocharged 6-cylinder engine with up to 340 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque (based off  January 17th teaser)
• Three available powertrains (Inline 6 will be first available option, PHEV and High Output will come later in 2023)
• New Trim Level Layout
• New Exterior Color Confirmed - Artisan Red Metallic (featured in January 17th Teaser)
• Standard iActiv AWD
• Standard three row interior featuring second row captain's chairs
• Premium safety technology standard (blind spot detection, adaptive cruise control, automatic braking, lane keep assist and more)
• Wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto
• Updated Mazda infotainment platform
• Panoramic moonroof
• More to come

The Mazda CX-70 will be a 2-row SUV, larger than the current Mazda CX-5 and Mazda CX-50.
