The CX-90 with 3.3 litre inline 6-cylinder Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) has been made available in Qatar by National Car Company (NCC), the sole agent for Mazda vehicles in Qatar for 50 years, a statement said.
All the CX-90 variants are on display and for sale at the state-of-the-art Mazda showroom located at Al Nasr, Doha.
The first-ever CX-90 was introduced in 2024 with the 'For the Voyage of Your Life' concept. Built on Mazda's all-new large platform, the crossover represents Mazda’s new flagship vehicle with wider, longer, and more aggressive proportions that perfectly blend its high-performance appearance with world-class refinement.
The CX-90 design expresses a feeling of vitality rooted in Mazda's KODO or “Soul of Motion” design theme. The aesthetic of subtraction or “less is more” produces a simple shape and realizes dynamic and majestic proportions. The interior is an expression of Japanese aesthetic throughout, incorporating the dynamism of light and natural materials in an orderly elegant space.
The new turbocharged 3.3-liter inline six-cylinder gasoline engine is augmented by a 48-volt My-Hybrid Boost (a mild hybrid system). In combination with the new rear-biased AWD architecture, the CX-90 offers superior environmental performance while honouring the driver's intentions.
The interior space has been enlarged around all seats. The third row is designed to seat three and equipped with its own air conditioning vents. The inclusion of See-Through View, capable of intuitively discerning information necessary for vehicle operation, as well as a large active driving display to support safe vehicle operation and enhance the driver's peace of mind.
The 3.3-liter inline 6 turbo will have the highest horsepower and torque from a mass production gasoline engine developed by Mazda with 340hp and 369 lb-ft of torque when using the recommended premium fuel. This engine also is equipped with M-Hybrid Boost (a mild-hybrid system) to provide efficiency without compromising on its remarkable performance. The electric motor is placed between the engine and transmission, creating a smooth acceleration from a standstill, and allowing the motor to directly power CX-90 at low speed.
Also available is the CX-90 3.3 Turbo with the standard e-Skyactiv G 3.3L Turbo engine producing 280hp and 332 lb-ft of torque with regular fuel that can achieve an EPA estimated 24 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined. Both inline six engines are equipped with M-Hybrid Boost.
CX-90 is built on an all-new large platform that features a front-engine, rear-wheel-bias longitudinal layout to elevate Mazda's signature driving performance. CX-90 is equipped with Kinematic Posture Control, which first debuted on the MX-5 Miata, a software feature that suppresses body lift on tight corners to enhance the grip and allows all occupants to maintain a natural posture. Focus was put toward optimizing rigidity across the entire vehicle body, while meticulously designing the seats and suspension to provide better balance, control, and confidence in a range of driving situations. With these developments, along with standard i-Activ all-wheel drive, drivers can enjoy the full potential of the available high-output powertrains.
All CX-90 powertrains are paired with an all-new eight-speed automatic transmission, specifically designed for the electrified longitudinal powertrains and large platform vehicles. The multi-speed automatic gearbox, without a torque converter, achieves smooth and direct acceleration while improving drivetrain efficiency.
Available chrome garnishes on the lower bumpers emphasises CX-90's width and timeless styling, while new, available 21-inch diamond-cut wheels featuring a black metallic finish complement the powerful presence. Also being introduced with CX-90 is Mazda's latest Takuminuri colour, Artisan Red. From the front seats to the available captain's chairs, and into the third row, there are multiple materials, such as Nappa leather, wood, and tone-on-tone fabrics that come together harmoniously.
One example is the distinctive fabric on the dash connected using hanging stitches, which is specifically inspired by hand-bookbinding and an intricate Japanese weaving technique known as Kumihimo. This method deliberately uses negative space to create a unique design for CX-90 that echoes to its Japanese lineage.
As with all Mazda vehicles, safety is a priority for the CX-90 for both the driver and all occupants. Standard i-Activsense safety features include Smart City Brake Support, Blind Spot Monitoring, Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Driver Attention Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. CX-90 also features larger displays, accompanied by physical buttons that complement the interior styling.
Premium models of CX-90 3.3 Turbo are equipped with the unique Driver Personalisation System, a first for Mazda. The driver-enabled feature restores various driver settings. The internal camera located on the upper left corner of the Mazda Connect screen scans facial features and stores them in-vehicle to recognise the driver on future drives. Driver facial data stored for this feature is encrypted, stored in-vehicle, and not subject to remote access.
All CX-90 3.3 Turbo Premium models come equipped with Mi-Drive modes including Sport, Economy and Off-Road. This package introduces two new i-Activsense safety features. Cruising & Traffic Support is Mazda’s most advanced form of active driving assistance, providing highway speed lane centering and adaptive cruise control for confident, hands-on driving.
The i-Activsense safety features are also enhanced with new Emergency Lane Keeping, that provides lane keeping alerts, and if necessary, steering inputs, to help the driver avoid roadway departures and predicted collisions with surrounding vehicles, and Secondary Collision Reduction System, which is designed to apply the brakes after a rear-end collision to help avoid secondary damage. Other safety features include Blind Spot Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition, and front and rear parking sensors.
At the top of the CX-90 model lineup, the CX-90 3.3 Turbo Premium Plus completes the experience by blending first-class craftsmanship and design with Mazda’s world-class performance. This six-passenger configuration offers second row captain’s chairs with a center console, while also adding heated seats. Additionally, ventilated seats are provided for both the front and second row.
Elevating the interior cabin, Nappa leather seats are equipped in new tan quilting or white Japanese Premium options. The interior trim is wrapped with an inviting, suede-like fabric with unique hanging stitches, which is specifically inspired by hand-bookbinding and an intricate Japanese weaving technique known as Kakenui, on the dash.
The CX-90 3.3 Turbo Premium Plus features an all-new 12.3-inch full centre display with touchscreen capabilities exclusively for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. The fully digital 12.3-inch TFT LCD instrument panel display, a first for Mazda vehicles, will help intuitively provide the driver with necessary driving information. Other features include Adaptive Front-lighting System, Climate control front seats and second row seats, eight-way power adjustable passenger seat, power-folding-frameless auto-dimming rearview mirror, 150-volt power outlet in the cargo area, windshield wiper de-fogger etc.
Exterior features include 21-inch Machine Cut Finish alloy wheels, power panoramic sunroof, hands-free power liftgate, bright chrome accents and body-colour wheel arch molding. The i-Activsense safety features added are Emergency Lane Keeping, Secondary Collision Reduction System, Blind Spot Assist, Smart Brake Support Reverse, Traffic Sign Recognition, and front and rear parking sensors.
This package introduces Front Crossing and Turn-Across Traffic Braking, which is an enhancement to Smart Brake Support and helps detect and mitigate collisions with objects approaching and crossing the vehicle's forward path, as well as the detection and mitigation of collisions with vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians in the vehicle’s intended path when turning at an intersection.
The 360° View Monitor is enhanced with a new See-Through View feature that projects a large image of the area ahead of and besides the CX-90 on the centre display. This helps the driver’s ability to safely view all angles when maneuvering CX-90 in various situations, such as narrow spaces or crowded parking spaces, or around objects, such as bicycles or toys left on the driveway.
