Mazda unveils flagship SUV CX-90 with six-cylinder engine
In the early morning of February 1, Mazda released its new flagship SUV CX-90 in North America.

Although the interior of the CX-90 has no highlights in terms of styling, the interior has never been called a luxurious Mazda. This time, it uses a variety of materials such as metal, maple, fabric, and leather to emphasize the luxury of the interior.
In terms of configuration, the CX-90 is equipped with dual-zone front air conditioning, seat heating/ventilation, and steering wheel heating, and is equipped with a 12-speaker BOSE audio system.
Mazda has indicated on the fender that this CX-90 is equipped with an inline 6-cylinder turbocharged engine.

What I have to say is that the CX-90 is equipped with KPC dynamic chassis system and comes standard with full-time four-wheel drive. In addition to the common driving modes, it also has a Towing trailer mode.
Although the CX-90 cannot make Mazda a luxury brand, it at least shows that Mazda can also make luxury cars.
