RICHMOND HILL, ON, July 31, 2024 /CNW/ - Mazda Canada Inc. announces pricing and packaging for the 2025 CX-90, maintaining its captivating design elements, interior craftsmanship and IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ award winning safety. For 2025, the CX-90 receives customer centric updates to model packages, safety technology and seating options to give drivers and passengers more options throughout the CX-90 model line-up.

CX-90 is built upon Mazda's electrified Large Platform.

Tuned for driving precision, KPC suppresses body lift on tight corners to enhance the grip and help all occupants to maintain a natural posture. All of these design traits are designed to help keep CX-90's tires firmly planted on the pavement, offering surefooted and confidence-inspiring driving.

With a larger on-the-road footprint compared to other Mazda models, our flagship CX-90 offers ample space with seating for up to eight people and a variety of interior and seating configurations to best suit the needs of our customers.
