On January 31, Mazda North American Operations introduced the first-ever 2024 Mazda CX-90.
Built on Mazda's all-new large platform that features a front-engine, rear-wheel-bias longitudinal layout, the three-row crossover, with seating for up to eight passengers, represents the company's new flagship vehicle.
CX-90 is available with an all-new e-Skyactiv G 3.3-liter Inline 6 Turbo engine, which produces 340 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque.
This engine also is equipped with M-Hybrid Boost (a mild-hybrid system) in which an electric motor is placed between the engine and transmission, allowing the motor to directly power CX-90 at low speed.
The new e-Skyactiv PHEV powertrain, tuned specifically for the North American market, produces 323 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque.
The PHEV is designed to operate purely on the electric motor in a variety of scenarios, with the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine working alongside the electric motor and 17.8 kWh high-capacity battery.
All CX-90 powertrains are paired with an all-new eight-speed automatic transmission designed for the electrified longitudinal powertrains and large platform vehicles.
The CX-90 is equipped with i-Activ all-wheel drive and Kinematic Posture Control, which first debuted on the MX-5 Miata, a software feature that suppresses body lift on tight corners.
CX-90 has many standard i-Activsense safety features, including Smart Brake Support, Blind Spot Monitoring, Mazda Radar, and Cruise Control.
An available See-Through View monitor assists in a variety of parking situations through the 12.3" center display.

On January 13, Mazda Motor Corporation unveiled the Mazda MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV, a plug-in hybrid model that uses a rotary engine as a generator, at the Brussels Motor Show. The MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV has an 85 km battery electric driving range.
Mazda chose to use a rotary engine to power the generator system. Levering the unique way in which rotary engines can produce the required output with a small power unit, Mazda developed the new rotary engine to work as a generator and positioned it on the same axle as a high-output motor and a generator in the motor room.
Mazda then paired this compact electric power unit with a 17.8 kWh lithium-ion battery and a 50 L gas tank to achieve the unique series plug-in hybrid system.
The MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV is compatible with both normal and fast charging, 1,500 W power supply functionality.
Additionally, the MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV will be available in a special edition model: “Edition R.”
