When you peek inside the Mazda CX-90 and the Hyundai Tucson, you’ll see finely curated cabins full of space and premium features. Both aspects will enliven the memories you create with your friends and family and let you indulge in self-care as you drive.
The Mazda and the Hyundai are rich in space, but the Mazda CX-90 adds another layer to your enjoyment. This SUV seats up to eight passengers, while the Tucson has room for five riders.
With additional seating and 141.6 cubic feet of passenger room to share with your loved ones, the Mazda CX-90 is the ultimate family car. There’s space for everyone in your inner circle! Although the Hyundai offers 108.2 cubic feet of room for everyone, you may have to take multiple cars during outings.
If you’re looking for first-class care, choose the Mazda CX-90. This premium SUV treats you to a cozy, refined cabin full of standard creature comforts:
- 8-way power driver’s seat with power lumbar support
- Leatherette upholstery
- Leather-wrapped gear shift and steering wheel
Tucson drivers can also enjoy these amenities with an upgrade to a higher trim. However, 3-zone automatic climate control is exclusive to the Mazda CX-90. This climate feature caters to everyone on board, including your second-row riders.
An SUV that works for you? Talk about the good life! The Mazda CX-90 and the Hyundai Tucson welcome artificial intelligence and the future of technology on board with open arms. After all, you deserve the most accommodating, effortless driving experience possible.
Bluetooth®, Apple CarPlay™, and Android Auto™ come standard in both SUVs. These smartphone integrations make asking for directions, texting a friend, or tuning in to your preferred entertainment easy!
Completing a command for you is as simple as saying “Hey Siri” or “Hey Google.” The Mazda CX-90 also lets you ask for assistance without being paired to these smartphone integrations thanks to standard voice command! A similar feature is available in the Tucson.
Know that flat-screen TV in your den that you love so much? The Mazda CX-90 has a 10.25-inch full-color center display that matches its greatness. Not impressed? A 12.3-inch display is also available for easy-on-the-eyes entertainment. The Hyundai opts for an 8-inch screen or an available 10.25-inch display.
Your vehicle’s information will also look sharp with the Mazda’s 7-inch LCD Meter Display or available 12.3-inch fully digital LCD Meter Display! You might have to second-guess your speed or how much gas you have left in the Hyundai since its standard instrument cluster is 4.2 inches. A 10.25-inch digital cluster is available for improved visuals.
The Mazda and the Hyundai have proven that their interiors and technology offerings align with your wants and needs. However, the powertrain of one of these SUVs is about to deliver the comparison-winning wow factor.
The Mazda CX-90 and the Hyundai Tucson each offer a single engine. The Tucson powers your drives with a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, producing 187 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. Sounds impressive, right? The Mazda CX-90 has some magic under the hood.
The Mazda’s 3.3L e-Skyactiv®-G turbo Inline 6 engine offers a range of power! Depending on the trim level and fuel you choose, you can achieve these output figures:
- 280-340 horsepower
- 332-369 lb-ft of torque
How many SUVs do you know that can achieve several power levels with the same engine? Dare we say this powertrain is the eighth wonder of the world?
Beyond power, the Mazda CX-90 will be better for driving in inclement weather or uneven terrain. Rear-biased i-Activ AWD® comes standard, and this drivetrain packs a punch. It responds to changing road conditions and delivers power to the right wheels at the right time, helping you confidently soar.
Although the Hyundai Tucson is available with the equally comparable HTRAC All-Wheel Drive, Front Wheel Drive comes standard.
The Mazda CX-90 and the Hyundai Tucson will meet your priorities and needs. However, we think the Mazda’s assured interior comfort, helpful technology, and versatile performance will do the job better.
