In this blog post, we'll be highlighting the advantages of the CX-90 over the Honda Pilot, and why the CX-90 is a better choice for your customers.

Superior Power and Fuel Economy

The Mazda CX-90 has more powerful and fuel-efficient engines than the Honda Pilot. It boasts a standard e-Skyactiv G 3.3L turbo engine that delivers an astounding 332 lb-ft of torque besting the Honda Pilot’s 262 torques. What’s more, this engine still manages to maintain an impressive average fuel economy rating of 9.3L/100km in combined driving scenarios, crushing the Pilot’s combined 11L/100km rating. For those seeking even more power, higher-trim CX-90 models are equipped with a high-output version of the e-Skyactiv G engine, producing 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque when using premium fuel. Even with this extra power, this model still delivers a combined fuel rating of 9.5L/100km. Both engines are enhanced by the innovative M-Hybrid Boost 48-volt mild-hybrid system, delivering unparalleled performance without sacrificing efficiency.

And for the environmentally friendly driver, the CX-90 features a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) option, with its e-Skyactiv PHEV powertrain consisting of a specially adapted 2.5L naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine and electric motor, generating a combined 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque when using premium fuel. Perfect for longer drives or sudden accelerations, the 17.8 kWh high-capacity battery ensures optimal performance.

Exterior and Interior Design

Mazda has always been known for its beautiful design, and the CX-90 doesn't disappoint. The Mazda CX-90 has a sleek and stylish exterior with a beautiful, sculpted body. The interior of the CX-90 is also impressive, with high-quality materials used throughout the cabin. The Honda Pilot lacks the Mazda’s premium appeal both inside and out.

Safety Features

These advanced safety features are designed to assist the driver in their journey, incorporating technologies such as Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning System, and Advanced Smart City Brake Support with Pedestrian Detection, among others.

The driving experience in the Mazda CX-90 feels more responsive and athletic than the Honda Pilot. The CX-90 has more horsepower and torque, which provides better acceleration and makes for an enjoyable driving experience.
