Mazda replaced its biggest family crossover, the CX-9 , with a new, rear-biased all-wheel drive platform in 2023 .

The new model is a top-tier 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus trim with a turbocharged inline-six.

The real test is how a three-row SUV can handle family adventures, and so when a 2025 model arrived at my Virginia home, I had a mission in mind.

The 2025 Mazda CX-90 delivered as a high-end family hauler for thousands of dollars less than BMW 's X7 .

The 3.3-liter turbocharged inline-six under the Mazda 's long hood can go toe-to-toe with the BMW X7 's 3.0-litre-driven engine.

The top trim for the 2025 Cx-90 only seats six , but it's a great-sounding engine.
