Mazda's flagship SUV CX-90 is widely sold in overseas markets, and there were rumors of introducing it into China last year, but there is no clear news until recently, some netizens took spy photos of Mazda CX-90 test cars in Inner Mongolia, which seems to be very complete and is expected to be localized and sold this year. Below, let's find out with the car brother.
The exterior styling of the test car basically continues the design style of the overseas version of the CX-90, with a square and wide quadrangular grille, which is filled with a blackened grille, supplemented by a semi-wrapped chrome bezel trim strip, which leads to the flat and compact headlight clusters on the left and right sides, showing a strong integrity. The front bumper is an important basis for judging status, and the flat trapezoidal lower grille is paired with a stout front scoop, and the longitudinal air intakes on both sides distinguish the CX-70 from each other, showing a luxurious style.
The side of the car has wide lines visible to the naked eye, with a falling roof transition, the window line and waistline are straight to make it look more slender and tough, while details such as the angled angled D-pillar and large two-tone wheels retain a bit of sporty genes. In addition, the car brother noticed that the car does not have a charging interface, and it does not seem to be a 2.5L plug-in hybrid version.
The rear part of the car is full and rounded, the upper part is a wide roof spoiler and a large angled rear windshield, and the slender rear taillights have large areas of blackened details, which looks quite premium. The trunk line is concave and convex, and the black rear surround is embellished with a through-chrome strip, which is in line with the identity positioning of a luxury flagship.
In terms of interior, the real-life spy photos are in orange theme color, equipped with a long strip-shaped floating central control screen, the left LCD instrument panel is blocked, the three-spoke steering wheel is made of two-tone leather stitching, the center console area retains a large number of physical buttons, the front end of the armrest box is covered with a special panel, and the exquisite electronic gear knob and various knobs and buttons are not absent, highlighting Mazda's unique understanding of luxury.
In terms of power, the American version of the CX-90 has a 3.3T mild hybrid system and a 2.5-liter plug-in hybrid system to choose from, of which the 3.3T mild hybrid version has high and low power options, and the low-power 3.3T inline-six engine has a maximum power of 209 kilowatts and a peak torque of 450 Nm·m; The high-power 3.3T inline-six engine has a maximum power of 254 kW and a peak torque of 500 Nm·m. The plug-in hybrid version has a combined power of 241 kW and a combined system torque of 500 Nm·m, and is equipped with a 17.8kWh battery pack, with an all-electric range of more than 50km in EPA mode. The drivetrain is an 8-speed automatic transmission.
In terms of price, the starting price of the car in the United States market is about 270,000 yuan, and thanks to the reduction of localization costs, the price may be lower than previously expected. However, it should be noted that as the emission standards for automobiles in the domestic market become more and more stringent, large-displacement models are becoming more and more rare, and whether the localized Mazda CX-90 will use a 3.3T engine like the overseas version still needs to be questioned. For more news about the car, the car player will continue to pay attention.
