If you find a listing below $34,864.54, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2025 Mazda CX-90 a good car?

The 2025 Mazda CX-90 earns a 6.17/10 expert rating.

The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

Mazda aims this SUV at you if you want a three-row family vehicle that feels more upscale and more engaging than the usual mainstream choice. The CX-90’s stylish design and premium interior materials support that mission, and the available turbocharged inline-six or plug-in hybrid powertrains help it stand apart from the segment norm.

The trade-offs are real, though: the base engine is underwhelming, the cabin can be noisy, and the technology is unintuitive. If you value personality, driving enjoyment, and a premium presentation more than maximum space or the easiest interface, the CX-90 makes sense.

32.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there are still opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2025 Mazda CX-90 reliable?

The 2025 Mazda CX-90’s overall setup points to a vehicle that should appeal to you if you want a premium-feeling family SUV with strong safety credentials and a conventional mechanical layout. Mazda’s own evaluation emphasizes the CX-90’s safety ratings, design quality, and driving dynamics, which are the kinds of traits many used buyers want in a long-term family hauler.

The performance notes also suggest a mixed ownership experience: the powertrain can feel unrefined, especially at startup, and the transmission behavior can be unpredictable until everything warms up. That means the CX-90 may reward careful test-driving more than impulse buying.

Mazda also includes one year of complimentary connected services, which is a small ownership perk. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that the drivetrain and technology quirks could become daily annoyances if you prioritize smoothness and simplicity.

What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Mazda CX-90?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92.8% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with more equipment. Focus on cabin condition, infotainment behavior, and how smoothly the drivetrain responds from a cold start, since those are the areas most likely to affect your day-to-day satisfaction.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The CX-90’s upscale look and premium materials are strongest in higher trims, while the base setup leaves you with more modest equipment and less of the luxury feel Mazda is aiming for.
• Powertrain: You can choose a turbocharged inline-six or a plug-in hybrid, and the gas models are rated at 25 mpg combined; the plug-in hybrid adds 25 miles of electric range.
• Safety package: Mazda’s standard suite includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, automatic high-beam headlights, and a vehicle exit warning system. Higher trims add steering assist for blind-spot monitoring, emergency lane-keeping assist, front cross-traffic alert, front and rear parking sensors, and a surround-view camera system.
• Infotainment: You get a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel and a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The native Mazda Connect system is not touch-operated, and the voice recognition system is limited.
• Fuel efficiency: The gas models are rated at 25 mpg combined, and the plug-in hybrid is rated for 25 miles of electric range before operating like the other models.

Which 2025 Mazda CX-90 trim should I buy?

The 2025 Mazda CX-90 is offered in 5 trim levels: Select, Preferred, Premium, Premium Sport, and Premium Plus.

Here's the short version:

• Select: This is the entry point, so it makes sense if you want the CX-90’s core design, safety, and driving character at the lowest starting price, but you’ll feel the equipment gap most clearly here.
• Preferred: This is the trim that should appeal to you if you want a better balance of comfort and value without pushing too far up the price ladder.
• Premium: This is the best-value trim if you want the CX-90 to feel more upscale without jumping all the way to the top of the range.
• Premium Sport: Choose this if you want a more distinctive appearance and a richer feature set while staying below the flagship trim.
• Premium Plus: This is the one to buy if you want the most luxurious presentation and the fullest expression of the CX-90’s premium mission.

Mazda adds more advanced safety equipment as you move up the lineup, including steering assist for blind-spot monitoring, emergency lane-keeping assist, front cross-traffic alert, front and rear parking sensors, and a surround-view camera system.

What is the 2025 Mazda CX-90's resale value?

The current average of $34,848 sits slightly below last year's $42,803.

That drop suggests the CX-90 has already moved through a meaningful chunk of its early depreciation. For you as a future seller, that can mean less upside if you buy at today’s average and try to resell soon.

The flip side is that the current market may be more attractive if you plan to keep the SUV for several years. If you buy well and maintain it carefully, you may be able to soften the impact of further depreciation.

Is the 2025 Mazda CX-90 safe?

It is one of only four midsize, three-row, gas-powered SUVs to receive a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

The CX-90 PHEV earns five-star ratings in all crash tests conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, as well as a four-star rollover resistance rating. The gas-only CX-90 models get four-star ratings in frontal-impact testing.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Mazda’s standard driver-assistance suite includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, automatic high-beam headlights, and a vehicle exit warning system.

Higher trims add steering assist to blind-spot monitoring, emergency lane-keeping assist, front cross-traffic alert, front and rear parking sensors, and a surround-view camera system. Cruising and Traffic Support is also available on higher trim levels, pairing adaptive cruise control with lane-centering assist for hands-on highway driving.

Should I buy a 2025 Mazda CX-90 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2025 if:

• 32.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92.8% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 18.59% compared with last year.
• The 2025 stands out for its unusual powertrain choices, premium interior, and strong safety ratings.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $31,462, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $34,848 average.
• It delivers a sporty, engaging driving feel with strong powertrain choices.

Consider the 2026 if:

• It keeps the premium look and feel while adding only light updates to the lineup.

The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of safety, style, and market availability, the 2025 is the primary path to consider. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2024 is the better price-sensitive alternative.
