Mazda

Mazda continues to produce stylish automobiles that are fun to drive. The Mazda3 compact can be had as a sedan or hatchback and offers the choice of all-wheel drive or a turbocharged 250 hp engine. The Mazda6 midsize sedan has been discontinued for 2022, leaving just the MX-5 Miata as the only other car Mazda offers. The Miata continues to be one of the most cars to drive and can be had as a traditional roadster or a hardtop convertible in RF form.

Mazda’s main focus is on crossovers and the lineup begins with the CX-30. The compact CX-5 is joined by a more rugged sibling called the CX-50. The three row CX-9 continues on as Mazda’s largest SUV, but it too will gain a sibling this year called the CX-90. Last year Mazda entered the world of electric vehicles with the MX-30 EV available in limited quantities.

The CX-9 is Mazda’s aging, large, three-row SUV. Arguably one of the most stylish mainstream three-row SUVs inside and out, despite being on the market for awhile it is still a very competitive offering. The CX-9 was ahead of the curve as well by offering a turbocharged four-cylinder as its only powertrain option.

Comparison Test: 2024 Kia EV9 vs 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV

Before you grab your torches and pitchforks about the mis-matched nature of this comparison test, hear us out. Yes, the Kia EV9 is a fully-electric machine while the CX-90 is a plug-in hybrid. Yes, there’s a twenty-grand gap in price between these two, as-equipped. And yes, they feel very different behind the wheel. But for folks wanting a 3-row crossover that can cover commuting duties with electrons instead of dinosaur juice, these are currently the only two viable mainstream options. So, how do they stack up against one another? Let’s find out.

The Current Mazda MX-5 Miata is (Mostly) Timeless

For 35 years, the Mazda MX-5 (Miata) has thrilled enthusiasts with its engaging, top-down, back-to-basics driving experience. Mazda’s formula has worked so well, the brand rarely needs to change much about the roadster. Over its lifespan, the MX-5 has only gone through four generations. The industry standard for replacing a vehicle with a successor is around 5 years. The MX-5 is currently averaging close to 9 years before getting replaced.

The 2025 Mazda CX-70 Starts At $41,820

The 2025 Mazda CX-70 starts at $41,820 including $1,375 for destination charges. While the CX-70 is basically a CX-90 sans its third row, the pricing doesn’t necessarily reflect that- at least at first. But the CX-70 will only be offered in higher-spec trim levels, and as such, its base price is actually a hair higher than the CX-90’s $40,970 base price.

2024 Mazda Miata Debuts With More Screen, Better Options

All Mazda has really done since the ND-generation MX-5’s debut is hone the tiny sports car’s edge. It’s all it's ever needed, and for 2024, the edge gets even finer with an updated infotainment system, a new limited-slip diff, and more. However, at least one thing isn’t changing about the Miata, which starts at $29,460 including destination for 2024. The entire lineup is still powered by the brand’s Skyactiv-G 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 181 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque routed through a six-speed transmission (manual or automatic).
