What Are 92.4% More Canadians Discovering About the 2025 Mazda CX-90?

March 2025 sales figures tell a compelling story: CX-90 sales jumped 92.4% compared to March 2024, establishing a new benchmark for the model. This dramatic growth continues a strong momentum, with quarterly sales up 42.5% through the first three months of 2025. Behind these impressive numbers stands the 2025 Mazda CX-90 – a vehicle that addresses Canadian drivers' needs with precision and thoughtfulness.

The 2025 CX-90 arrived at dealerships last summer, starting at $45,900. While maintaining its award-winning safety and distinctive design elements, Mazda focused on practical enhancements that improve your daily experience with the vehicle.

Customized Comfort For Every Journey

The 2025 CX-90 lineup introduced more seating options across all trim levels. This isn't just about passenger capacity – it's about creating the right environment for your specific needs.

The GS trim offers standard eight-passenger seating with bench seats in both second and third rows. For families who prioritize easier access to the third row, the GS-L includes captain's chairs with a center walkthrough. The GT trim, previously limited to a single configuration, now gives you the choice between maximum capacity or enhanced comfort.

These thoughtful options extend through the lineup. The GT-P can be configured with either seven or eight-passenger layouts, while the Signature trim perfects the premium experience with second-row captain's chairs featuring a sophisticated center console.

What's particularly smart about this approach is that Mazda hasn't restricted configuration options to only the highest trims, making these practical choices accessible at multiple price points.

Technology That Respects Your Time

The 2025 CX-90 brings notable technological improvements that enhance functionality without adding complexity. The GS-L includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity paired with wireless phone charging – eliminating the frustration of forgotten cables.

The hands-free power liftgate, standard on GS-L and above, addresses a common pain point when approaching your vehicle with full hands. GT models receive an upgraded 12.3-inch touchscreen display that improves visibility while maintaining Mazda's intuitive control philosophy.

For 2025, Mazda Connected Services comes standard for two years, allowing you to check vehicle status, lock/unlock doors, and monitor maintenance needs directly from your smartphone. This practical approach to technology focuses on enhancing your ownership experience rather than adding novelty features.

Two Distinct Powertrains For Different Driving Needs

The CX-90's powertrain strategy acknowledges that Canadian drivers have varying priorities. Rather than forcing a single solution, Mazda offers two compelling options.

The MHEV models feature a 3.3L turbocharged inline-six with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. This refined powertrain delivers smooth acceleration and confident passing power while achieving 9.3 L/100km combined on regular fuel. The mild-hybrid technology improves throttle response at low speeds – particularly valuable in city driving.

For those seeking greater efficiency with electric capability, the PHEV models combine a 2.5L engine with an electric motor powered by a 17.8kWh battery. This system provides up to 42 kilometres of pure electric driving – enough to handle most daily commutes without using any fuel. When longer trips are needed, the system seamlessly transitions, eliminating range anxiety entirely.

Both powertrains are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and i-Activ AWD, ensuring confident handling in all Canadian driving conditions.

Practical Capability For Real-World Use

The CX-90's capability extends beyond passenger comfort. MHEV models from the GS-L up can tow up to 5,000 lbs when properly equipped – enough for most recreational boats, camping trailers, or utility trailers. PHEV models maintain a respectable 3,500 lbs towing capacity.

The standard i-Activ AWD system is enhanced with Mazda Intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive), allowing you to optimize vehicle performance for specific conditions. The addition of Towing mode on GS-L and above models adjusts transmission behavior and throttle mapping for smoother power delivery when hauling.

For those who venture beyond paved roads, the Off-Road mode adjusts traction control parameters to maximize grip on loose surfaces. Combined with the CX-90's double wishbone front suspension and multilink rear suspension, these features deliver confidence on varied Canadian terrain.

Safety Innovations That Work Proactively

The 2025 CX-90 maintains its IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ status through a comprehensive approach to protection. Instead of relying solely on passive safety features, the CX-90's i-Activsense suite works to help prevent accidents before they occur.

New for 2025, Cruise and Traffic Support has been added to GT trims and above, reducing driver fatigue during congested commutes. This feature maintains a set distance from the vehicle ahead while providing steering assistance within lane markings.

The 360° View Monitor on higher trims eliminates blind spots during low-speed maneuvers, particularly valuable when navigating tight parking situations. For families with young children, Smart Brake Support Rear Crossing helps detect approaching vehicles when backing up.

Premium Materials That Enhance Daily Living

The CX-90's interior materials are selected not just for their appearance but for how they improve your daily experience with the vehicle. The standard leatherette seating in GS-L models offers durability and easy cleaning, practical for active families.

Moving up to the GT brings genuine leather surfaces that wear gracefully over time. The GT-P and Signature trims feature Nappa leather known for its suppleness and comfort in varied temperatures. The optional Windsor Tan interior adds quilting details and Grand Luxe Suede panels that create a distinctive environment that ages beautifully.

Throughout the cabin, materials are selected for durability and tactile quality – surfaces you touch regularly like the steering wheel, shift knob, and door armrests receive special attention to material selection. This pragmatic approach to luxury explains why the CX-90 feels substantial in ways that matter most.

Drive What Others Are Discovering
