Not long after its global reveal, Australian pricing and specifications for the Mazda CX-90 have been released. The CX-90 is priced from $74,385 plus on-road costs – or $26,785 more than the entry-level CX-9 Sport that it replaces – and will arrive in three specification levels in Australia. Both petrol and diesel power will be available, with new 3.3-litre inline-six engines in both fuel types – including Mazda’s most powerful ever production engine. The CX-90 will land in August 2023.

“First-Ever Mazda CX-90 – the largest and most luxurious SUV ever to lead the Mazda range – is now available to order, ahead of its arrival in Australia from August.” said the company.

“A choice of three comprehensively appointed model grades in the form of Touring, GT and Azami each showcase a culmination of expert craftsmanship and ‘dignified beauty’ of Mazda’s Kodo design philosophy.”
