At the top end, the price jumps by about $10,000 over the CX-9

•    Mazda Canada announces pricing for its new 2024 CX-90.

•    The model is available starting at $45,900.

•    One surprise is that two configurations of the inline 6-cylinder engine are offered.

•    The PHEV version is priced to qualify for government rebates.

Ten days ago, we saw the presentation of Mazda's new CX-90. Today, the company announced pricing for the different versions that will be offered, both in the United States and in Canada. It's worth noting that while the mechanical configurations are the same, the model's nomenclature is not the same north and south of the border. Here is what’s reserved for our market, starting with the CX-90 plug-in hybrid variant. It gets a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine and 17.8-kWh battery. Combined output is 323 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque.

The offering for the 2024 CX-90 includes three pluggable versions: PHEV GS, PHEV GS-L and PHEV GT. Prices will be $54,900, $59,950, and $64,350 respectively. What this means is that because the first variant is priced below $55,000, all of them are eligible for government rebates ($5,000 at each tier). Note that in order to get the $5,000 from the federal government, the range must be greater than 50 km. However, this has not yet been announced; our expectations are that it will be right around 50. We'll have to see. 

Maximum towing capacity is 3500 lb with the PHEV variant, which will fill a need because few plug-in hybrids currently on the market offer this capability. It comes at a cost, though. 
With the conventional gasoline engine, buyers will have more choices. However, those wanting the announced 340 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque from the 3.3L turbocharged inline-6 engine will have to pay more and go for one of the more upscale versions of the model. Indeed, Mazda announced that a less-powerful variant of the engine would be available with the entry-level CX-90.

As a result, the GS, GS-L and GS-L with upgraded package will be priced at $45,900, $49,300 and $55,350. The catch is that the engine will offer 280 hp and 322 lb-ft of torque. Take note that that is superior to the 250 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque of the outgoing CX-9. 

Natural Resources Canada reports the average fuel-consumption rating of this engine at 9.3L/100 km. Regular-octane gasoline can be used. 

Starting with the GS-L model, a no-charge option allows for adding captain's chairs to the second row. With the upgraded package, towing capacity increases to 5,000 lb. The equipment is also upgraded, with a standard panoramic roof, among other goodies.

For those who want the more extreme variant, you have to climb to the top of the hierarchy and go with the GT-P and Signature trims, available at $59,300 and $63,300, respectively. Here, premium gasoline is required to maximize engine output. Fuel consumption is 9.5L/100 km with this engine. 

Note that with all CX-90s, a $1,995 shipping and preparation fee must be added to the bill. The CX-90 is expected to arrive at Canadian dealerships this spring. We should have the opportunity to test drive it before then.
