2024 Mazda CX-90 brings great rear-drive dynamics, a silky straight-six, a punchy PHEV and luxurious interiors to the three-row SUV segment.
All powertrains get the same transmission and driveline. The transmission is an eight-speed automatic that was completely engineered in-house by Mazda, a requirement to get it as small and light as possible for packaging. Instead of using a torque converter, the new transmission has a wet clutch that allows for the relatively compact dimensions of an automatic with its planetary gearsets, along with the direct connection and efficiencies of a clutched transmission .
The new powertrain also made it possible for Mazda to implement some chassis upgrades. With more space on either side of the engine, Mazda was able to use a double-wishbone design,considered one of the best possible front suspension setups, instead of MacPherson struts. The rear retains a multilink design. The added room up front also allows for additional steering lock, so the CX-90's turning circle is actually tighter than the CX-9, despite having a longer wheelbase.
