More space isn’t the only thing CX-90 owners are likely to notice about the new SUV’s cabin. Though the CX-9 is still surprisingly competitive when it comes to interior design and materials, punching well above its price tag, its technology feels dated in places. That’s something Mazda is addressing comprehensively.
Its i-Activsense safety system will be standard across all trims, including Smart City Brake Support, Blind Spot Monitoring, Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Driver Attention Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. Rear seat alerts will also be standard, as will a 10.25-inch infotainment display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a 7-inch driver display.
Higher trims will get a Bose audio system, a larger, 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, Emergency Lane Keeping, Secondary Collision Reduction System, Blind Spot Assist, and front and rear parking sensors. A 360-degree camera is also available, plus Front Crossing and Turn-Across Traffic Braking.
While this will all help bring the CX-90 in line with what rivals are offering, Mazda does have some new tricks to show off, too. The Mazda Driver Personalization System will use a cabin camera to — optionally — recognize the driver’s face and automatically restore their favorite settings.
